Summary

  • ChatGPT-4.5 has failed to deliver on the promises made by OpenAI and the new features introduced in the latest update are not enough to convince users of the improvement in emotional intelligence or reasoning
  • The new version of ChatGPT still does not feel natural in conversations and often jumps to conclusions
  • While the model gives needless explanations in responses, it often fails to fully answer the question asked, or analyses the text provided and critical thinking could be improved
  • Usage limitations are a hindrance to experimentation, and the response consistency of the model is also questioned, while file upload issues are frustrating.
  • The writer feels that while previous versions of ChatGPT have not been perfect, GPT-4.5 is a step back in several areas and requires a lot more work to become a tool they would use.
  • The only praise is that the writing is slightly better suited to non-fiction works, but even that requires a lot of improvement before it matches human creativity.
