When GPT-5 comes out, will more Manifold users say it exceeded or fell below expectations?

1 month after GPT-5 comes out, I will create a poll that will run for a month with three options:

  1. GPT-5 exceeded the general expectations for it.

  2. GPT-5 exactly met the general expectations for it.

  3. GPT-5 fell below the general expectations for it

This market will resolve "Exceeded" if more people vote that GPT-5 exceeded the general expectations around it then vote that it fell below general expectations. It will resolve "fell below" if the opposite happens. Yes, this effectively means the votes of the people who say it exactly met general expectations won't do anything. The price of neutrality I guess.

Respondents will be asked about general expectations around GPT-5, not whether it exceeded or fell below their own expectations. Exactly how they interpret general expectations I will leave up to them.

My guess is that the goal with GPT-5 is near o1 performance without the lengthy thinking stage. Without scaling test time compute I don't see any way it ends up smarter than current SOTA.

If people now have low expectations as this polls clearly shows, then it will probably exceed expectations.
