The video begins by addressing the common user experience of receiving worse results from GPT-5 despite its advanced capabilities, attributing this to a fundamental architectural change by OpenAI that renders old prompting techniques obsolete [-]. A key update is model consolidation, where fewer models are now available, managed by an invisible router that doesn't always select the best model for a request. This means simply hitting enter can lead to inconsistent results, with OpenAI potentially favoring less expensive, less capable models [-]. Furthermore, GPT-5's improved instruction-following is a double-edged sword; while it adheres precisely to prompts, it is significantly worse at inferring user intent from vague or poorly constructed inputs, making older prompting...
