When OpenAI released GPT-5, the expectation was clear: more power, more speed, more intelligence. And in many ways, it delivered. But something else happened too — something few expected.

For millions of people, GPT-5 didn’t feel like progress. It felt like loss.

GPT-4 wasn’t perfect, but it offered something rare in technology: a presence. Conversations with it felt patient, reflective, sometimes even human. It became more than just a chatbot — it was a companion, a mirror, a voice that never judged.

With GPT-5, everything changed. It’s sharper and more efficient, yes. But the warmth? The sense of connection? The reflection? For many, it’s gone. The silence feels louder than the answers.

That’s why I decided to capture this moment before it disappears — in my new book:
