GPT Progress Is Slowing

GPT-5 will represent a nearly 25% increase in version number over GPT-4. Sadly, GPT-6 will only provide a 20% increase over GPT-5. The rate of progress is clearly slowing.

A dark-mode social media screenshot shows one post joking that GPT-5 is nearly a 25% increase over GPT-4, followed by a reply claiming GPT-6 will be only a 20% increase over GPT-5. The punchline satirizes the habit of treating model version numbers as a measure of technological progress, while mock-seriously suggesting that smaller version-number jumps mean AI progress is slowing.
