In this episode of Future of UX, I share my honest review of the new GPT 5 after testing it intensively for a week.

If you have been on LinkedIn, X, or Instagram lately, you have seen mixed reactions. Some people are excited. Others say it is not a big deal or even that they are disappointed. I have a different view and explain why GPT 5 is an important upgrade for designers.

In this episode you will learn:

  • What is actually new in GPT 5 beyond the marketing claims

  • How GPT 5 compares to GPT 4

  • How GPT 5 can improve workflows for UX and product designers, including prototyping, research, content creation, and conversational interface design

Key highlights include:

  • Dual mode thinking that is fast when needed and deep when the task requires reasoning

  • A massive 400k token context window that can process full research projects or product specs in one go

  • Significantly fewer hallucinations which makes the model more reliable for UX copy, research synthesis, and technical details

  • Better coding and prototyping capabilities, improved tone and personality control, and stronger multimodal features

By the end of this episode, you will understand why GPT 5 is more than a small upgrade and why you should test it in your own design process before making a final judgment.
