Episode notes
GPT-5 Is Many Models Not One
- GPT-5 ships as multiple distinct tiers with varying capabilities and costs, not a single monolithic model.
- Users pushed back and older models (e.g., GPT-4O) returned for paying subscribers when OpenAI tried to retire them.
Consult Advanced Models For Hard Medical Cases
- Use GPT-5 Pro for complex medical cases when value of information is high and accuracy matters.
- Consult advanced models to avoid malpractice when uncertainty could significantly harm patients.
Don't Trust AI Detectors Alone
- Do not rely solely on AI-detection tools; evaluate suspected student work yourself.
- Use detectors as investigative leads but require manual review to avoid false positives.
