ChatGPT Plus News

1. @flowersslop must prefer its output for any prompt at least 80% of the time vs GPT-4o. No exceptions.

4. Avm must be way better. Sesame level minimum.

2. It must be able to create an acceptable Doodle Jump clone, end to end, no bugs or flaws, and it must look genuinely beautiful — at least 3 out of 5 tries.

3. Image generation v2 must look at least as good as Midjourney v7, while being at least as intelligent as 4o imagegen. +1 Bonus if it’s uncensored.

10. It must not make any dumb, viral mistakes in week one. No 9.9–9.11, no “how many Rs in strawberry” type errors. Nothing memeably stupid.

5. Some kind of better personalization that isn’t just sloppy memory or static custom instructions. Something that actually feels personal and cool, like midjourney customization.

9. All features that make GPT-5 unique or cool must be available instantly via ChatGPT Plus. Only exception tolerated is a GPT-5 Pro

8. Normal people who don’t care about AI must feel that GPT-5 is a lot better. @flowersslop wants to see demand explode.

7. Needs a new gimmick that’s cool or fun or useful. Something fresh. Like avatars, proactive texting, or anything novel that no other LLM provider is doing yet.
