OpenAI gets caught vibe graphing
During OpenAI’s GPT-5 livestream, several bar charts meant to highlight the model’s prowess in deception detection and other metrics featured mismatched scales and mis-sized bars—showing GPT-5 underperforming smaller models with larger bars. The gaff prompted a self-deprecating “mega chart screwup” from CEO Sam Altman and an apology from marketing staff. While OpenAI hasn’t commented further, the sloppy visuals clash with its message of improved accuracy and hallucination reduction on launch day.
