*Not so. Even the top scientists at OpenAI only have a hazy understanding
of how GPT-5 works, that's because it was not designed, it was grown. GPT-5
is never exactly the same from one minute to the next, so if you ask it the
exact same question again you will never get the exact same answer again,
the meaning may be the same but the wording will be different. *
