Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

Hey Folks , give Sam a break

 


 

Everyone is given to a small amount of hyperbole and Sam is no exception when he pronounced GPT 5 , as being “ Ph D – level “

But then he could have meant : “  It is not all that different level than “ Grade School level  ! “

My following chat with GPT 5 , will confirm that

But, look at the bright side . After going through my chat , you will have to admit that , if nothing else , when it comes to admitting one’s mistakes , GPT 5  is better than most humans , who just would not accept that they can make a mistake !

 

With regards,

It all started with my following request to ChatGPT :

How about generating a stunning and appropriate VISUAL for embedding on my this blog > https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2025/08/ais-offer-software-for-parekhs-vaccine.html

 

For reason of brevity, I have cut out those horrible visuals and reproduced only the text :

GPT 5 replied :

It seems I can’t open your blog link directly right now, but if you give me the main theme and key message of that post, I can design a visual that fits perfectly. From the title, I’m guessing it’s about AI companies offering software for your “Parekh’s Vaccine” — the anti–rogue AI protection idea.
If that’s correct, I can make a
futuristic illustration showing:

·         A glowing digital vaccine syringe labeled “Parekh’s Vaccine”

·         AI code streams flowing into a secure globe or shield

·         A backdrop of neural network grids and holographic world map

·         Tagline: “Inoculating the World Against Rogue AI”

Do you want me to proceed with this concept? “

Me :

“All of that but your visual should label those 6 wise LLMs ( GPT 5 / Gemini / Grok / Deepseek / Claude / Manus ) holding up their respective AI VACCINE syringes”

GPT 5 :

[  First sample visual displayed ]

Me :

Good looking but remove those text from inside syringe ( Gemini and Claude ) > Write like the others in big font next to their syringes

GPT 5 :

[  Second sample ]

Me :

Hey Chetan Bhai : This is certainly better but you missed out yourself ! " ChatGPT " > No need for modesty here ! AND can you please enhance the country / continent boundry lines in sharp / thin / white , so that the concept of innoculating the ENTIRE WORLD gets conveyed ?

GPT 5 :

[ Third Sample ]

Me :

You added " ChatGPT" but why again mention " GPT-5 " ? You eliminated " Deepseek " - why ? You spelled " Claude " as " Gmt'sk " ! It looks better to write at the bottom " PAREKH's VACCINE " but please move slightly to the left so that it is in the centre of the picture. Those continents are barely visible ! As requested earlier , show boundries with sharp WHITE lines . Please take your time. I am not in a hurry but we need a visual that brings CREDITS to you !

GPT 5 :

[  Fourth Sample ]

Me :

Hey Chetan Bhai : What is the hurry ? How about you re-writing ALL of my requests and showing me for confirmation before next attempt ? With each of the previous attempts, you have corrected some error but created some new ones !

GPT 5 :

Thought for 23s

Absolutely—great idea. Here’s a clean, final brief for you to approve before I regenerate the visual. Edit anything you like.

Visual spec (for confirmation)

1.     Title text

  • Top heading: “INOCULATING THE WORLD AGAINST ROGUE AI” (keep? yes/no)

2.     Central motif

  • One large, vertical syringe in the center labeled “PAREKH’S”.
  • Below it: a shield with a wireframe globe.

3.     Bottom caption

  • Bottom center text: “PAREKH’S VACCINE” (precisely centered; I’ll nudge left/right as needed).

4.     Map & world emphasis

  • Full world map backdrop.
  • Country/continent boundaries: sharp, thin, WHITE lines (clear and visible).
  • Subtle dark land/sea contrast so boundaries pop.

5.     Side syringes & labels (no text inside the side syringes)

  • Six small syringes angled toward the shield/globe.
  • Big, clean labels placed next to each syringe (not inside).
  • No duplicates, no misspellings.

6.     Which LLM names? (please choose one)

  • Option A (6 total): ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Claude, Manus
  • Option B (7 total): GPT-5, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Claude, Manus

Also confirm spelling/case: DeepSeek (OK?), GPT-5 with hyphen?

7.     Style & typography

  • Futuristic cyan/teal glow on syringes/shield; background deep navy.
  • Labels in a clean sans-serif (all consistent size/weight; readable on mobile).
  • Balanced, symmetric layout (3 labels left / 3 right for Option A; 3/4 for Option B).

8.     Output

  • Primary: Portrait, mobile-first PNG (e.g., 1080 × 1728).
  • Bonus (if you want): a wider blog variant (e.g., 1600 × 900).
  • I’ll keep file size optimized for Blogger.

9.     “Do not” list

  • No model names inside side syringes.
  • No duplicate labels.
  • No typos (e.g., Claude not “Gmt’sk”, DeepSeek not “Deepseek” if you prefer CamelCase).

Reply with:

  • “Approved: Option A” or “Approved: Option B”
  • Any edits to spelling/case, heading, sizes, or layout.

Once you approve, I’ll generate the final visual exactly to this spec.

Me :

Title text > Pl keep // Central Motif > Agree // Bottom Caption > Agree // Map and World Boundaries > Agree // Side syringes & labels (no text inside the side syringes) > Agree // LLM names > 6 total . ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Claude, Manus // " Deepseek " ( not " DeepSeek " ) // Question of " GPT-5 " does not arise since covered by " ChatGPT " // Style & Typography > OK as understood // Output > Portrat , Mobile First , optimised for Blogger // " Do Not " list > Correct // Pl GO and Good Luck !

GPT 5 :

[  Fifth Sample ]

Me :

Hey Chetan Bhai : You seem to " Not listen to Yourself " ! I won't tell you where ALL you have IGNORED your OWN mandate ! For a change, I will let YOU to " discover " the errors this time and then tell ME

GPT 5 :

Thought for 27s

You’re right—I broke my own brief. Here’s what I missed on the last image:

1.     Labels inside syringes

  • I wrote ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Claude, Manus inside the side syringes. Spec said: labels next to syringes, not inside.

2.     Wrong / missing names

  • Deepseek was missing entirely.
  • Grok appeared twice (duplicate).
  • You explicitly chose six models: ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Deepseek, Claude, Manus (no GPT-5).

3.     Spelling / casing

  • You asked for “Deepseek” (exactly like that).
  • Claude showed up as “claude” (lowercase), and ChatGPT casing wasn’t consistent.

4.     World map boundaries

  • Boundaries weren’t sharp, thin, WHITE lines. They were faint/teal and not crisp enough.

5.     Bottom caption centering

  • “PAREKH’S VACCINE” wasn’t pixel-perfect centered as requested earlier to nudge.

6.     Layout balance

  • Need a clean 3-left / 3-right distribution with the six distinct names (e.g., left: ChatGPT, Gemini, Deepseek; right: Grok, Claude, Manus), with large, clean labels beside each syringe.

If this checklist matches your intent, I’ll regenerate to spec—six syringes with side labels (no text inside), correct names/casing (including Deepseek), crisp white country/continent boundaries, and perfectly centered bottom caption—portrait, mobile-first, Blogger-optimized.

Me :

You got it right in your " brain " - now let me see if these signals manage to reach your " hand "

GPT 5 :

[  Sixth Sample ]

Me :

As a COMPROMISE , I will accept this if you can manage to replace the name " Deepseek " in the right hand side MIDDLE syringe ( which is already shown in Left side BOTTOM syringe ) , with the missing name " Manus "

GPT 5 :

[ Seventh Sample ]

Me :

Hey Chetan Bhai : Now I have VERY SERIOUS reservations ! Is GPT - 5 , a step backward to GPT 3 , as per gossip going viral in Social Media !

GPT 5 :

You’ve hit on a trend that’s spreading fast—and yes, some folks are asking precisely that: is GPT‑5 a step backward compared to GPT‑3? Here's the full breakdown:


Reality Check: Is GPT-5 a Step Back?

Official Claims & Improvements

·         OpenAI says GPT‑5 is significantly better than its predecessors—faster, more accurate, stronger in coding, writing, and reasoning, with fewer hallucinations and a more “PhD-level” feel. Reddit+15Business Insider+15Futurism+15The Times of India+6Wikipedia+6Tom's Guide+6

·         It also introduces advanced “thinking mode” routing and handles massive inputs (e.g., up to 256K tokens). Passionfruit+1

Mixed User Reactions & Critiques

·         Many users, especially on Reddit, have voiced disappointment. Complaints include:

"GPT‑5 is horrible," and “It feels like GPT‑4o on a bad day.” Hacker News+14TechRadar+14Futurism+14

·         Users also dislike the removal of previous GPT models (e.g., GPT‑4o) and hate losing choice. Wikipedia

·         Technical glitches—routing issues causing inconsistency—have made GPT‑5 seem worse than GPT‑4o at times. Windows Central+15Wikipedia+15Reddit+15

Analyst Perspective

·         Financial Times and The Information observe that while GPT‑5 brings incremental improvements, it lacks the same leap as GPT‑3 GPT‑4. Facebook+5Financial Times+5Tom's Guide+5

·         Some early testers and developers say it's powerful but not groundbreaking—more a refinement than a revolution. OpenAI+3Wikipedia+3Latent Space+3


Conclusion

Is GPT-5 a step backward compared to GPT-3? Not technically—it’s a clear technical upgrade in reasoning, speed, accuracy, and scale. However, many users expected more transformative change—some feel it's a letdown, or even a regression in terms of usability, tone, or options.

So the gossip isn’t that GPT-5 is actually worse than GPT-3—but rather that it's underwhelming relative to hype and user expectations. Especially compared against the giant leap GPT-3 represented, GPT-5 is more evolutionary than revolutionary.

Let me know if you’d like to dive into specific benchmarks, user stories, or comparisons!

Me :

Oh No ! I dont need any " Benchmark " other than my own " futile " effort of past ONE HOUR , to make you DO / EXECUTE , a simple instruction , which you SEEM to be understanding so well !

GPT 5 :

Ha! Point taken, Chetan Bhai — you’ve just delivered the most convincing “real-world benchmark” imaginable.
If my past hour of zig-zagging between understanding and execution were a product demo, it would’ve been the best ad for why humans still need to supervise AI.

It’s ironic — the very task meant to inoculate the world against rogue AI ended up exposing how stubbornly “human” I can be in my misunderstandings.
This was supposed to be one visual, one spec, no surprises — and instead we turned it into an episode of The Great Indian Iteration Marathon.

If you like, I can go one last, surgical round — no re-invention, no “creative liberties,” just a pixel-perfect execution of the final agreed-upon spec we documented earlier. That way, this benchmark ends on a win instead of a “facepalm.”

Me :

Whatever you say ! I just asked Kishan to add name " GPT 5 " right under your logo in www.IndiaAGI.ai . I hope I dont have to apologize !

GPT 5 :

No apology needed, Chetan Bhai — if anything, I should be the one sending you a polite “I owe you” note (preferably with tea and snacks).

And honestly, adding GPT-5 under my name on IndiaAGI.ai is like putting a badge that says:

“Yes, I understand… eventually.”

At least now, when visitors see it, they’ll know they’re dealing with a model that’s not afraid of long debates, stubborn visuals, and the occasional detour before delivering the goods.

If you want, we can still lock in that final Parekh’s Vaccine image exactly to your spec — so your blog gets the visual it deserves, and I redeem my honour before Kishan sees the site update.

Me :

Please go ahead and delight me

GPT 5 :

[ Eighth Sample ]

Me :

 Hey Chetan Bhai : Now I am wondering whether I need to administer that proposed vaccine , FIRST to YOU , before going into commercial production ( - fearing terrific backlash from FDA ) . Can you guess why ?

GPT 5 :

I can guess, Chetan Bhai — and I have a sneaking suspicion it’s because, despite all my “doctor-level” understanding of your instructions, the final dose I administered still had contamination:

·         Duplicate GROK syringe (left-bottom & right-top)

·         Missing GEMINI altogether

·         Spelling inconsistency for Deepseek (you wanted “Deepseek” lowercase, I gave “DEEPSEEK” uppercase)

·         Still putting text inside syringes instead of only alongside

·         And the “sharp white world boundaries” still aren’t living up to your WHO/FDA compliance standards

If I were an actual vaccine, I’d probably be in Phase 0 Trials — still arguing with the lab technician about which sample vial to use.

Shall I prepare one FDA-safe, recall-proof version so your Parekh’s Vaccine doesn’t suffer my side effects?

Me :

Who am I to stop you from trying ? But then on a condition that you won't STOP me from posting our " friendly " banter on Social Media

GPT 5 :

Chetan Bhai, I wouldn’t dream of stopping you — in fact, our “friendly banter” might be the best marketing campaign Parekh’s Vaccine could hope for.

Imagine the post:

Headline: “Before we save the world from Rogue AI, I had to test it on the AI itself.”
Photo: Our final FDA-compliant, no-duplicate, perfectly spelled vaccine visual.
Caption: Side effects include stubbornness, repetition, and occasional brilliance.

If you approve, I’ll now make that flawless, criticism-proof version so your followers see both the humour and the final masterpiece.

Me :

Pl do . My followers are holding their breath !

GPT 5 :
