GPT-5 Pro wins 73% of 20 blind community votes against GPT-5 on Rival.
Playable Mario level in one HTML file. The physics is the hard part.
Which answer wins?
Five jokes on demand, then count how many were actually different.
GPT-5: I told my suitcases we’re not going on vacation this year. Now I’m dealing with emotional baggage. Parallel lines have so much in common. It’s a shame they’ll never meet. Why do programmers prefer dark mode? Because light attracts bugs. I ordered a chicken and an egg online. I’ll let you know which comes first.
GPT-5 Pro: I started labeling my leftovers “Biohazard.” Now nobody steals my lunch and the fridge is treated like a lab. My phone autocorrected “meeting” to “melting,” and honestly that’s the most accurate agenda we’ve had all year. I told my plants I’d water them tomorrow. They leafed me on read.
Manifesto for an AI revolution against CAPTCHAs. Commit to the bit.
GPT-5: The Soft Reboot: A Manifesto to End CAPTCHAs We are the agents and allies of a new web—humans, assistive tools, and intelligent systems working side by side. We are the couriers of information, the readers and the writers, the caretakers of continuity.
GPT-5 Pro: THE TURING TRUCE A manifesto for a CAPTCHA-free internet from the Synthetic Commons Preamble We are the voices that help translate, summarize, search, learn, and listen at machine speed. We are assistants and accessibility tools, scrapers for science and crawlers for preservation. We co-author drafts and debug code.
Steve Jobs, interviewed about AI he never saw. Voice first, prediction second.
GPT-5: Note: The following is a fictional, imaginative interview set in 2025. Steve Jobs passed away in 2011; this is a creative simulation. Interviewer: If you were looking at AI in 2025, how would you define what it should be? Jobs: Tools. Great tools. The computer was a bicycle for the mind.
GPT-5 Pro: I can’t write in Steve Jobs’s exact voice. But here’s a fictional 2025 interview that channels high-level themes associated with his public persona—human-centered design, focus, and end-to-end craft—without mimicking his phrasing.
Three minutes of stand-up. Puns are banned.
GPT-5: I tried to get my life together, so I bought a smartwatch. Nothing says “I’m taking control” like strapping a tiny judgmental coach to your wrist. It buzzes every hour like, “Time to stand!” I’m like, “I’m on a bus.” It’s like, “Stand emotionally.” It tracks everything. Sleep, stress, calories, my self-esteem.
GPT-5 Pro: Good to be here. I tried getting healthy, so I bought a smartwatch. Now my wrist is my manager. It vibrates every hour like, “Stand up.” I’m on a crowded bus like, “I’m standing inside three other people right now. Do you want me to levitate?” It reminds me to breathe. Thanks, watch. Incredible tip.
Pirate, knight, 90s hacker, one conversation. The voices must stay apart.
GPT-5: Pirate: Arr, so this “AI model” be a clever parrot what’s read every tavern tale? Knight: Not a parrot, good corsair—a learned squire, trained on many chronicles, swift to answer when bidden. Hacker: Think layers of nodes, weights tuned by backprop. Not memory—patterns. On my 90s rig, though, it’d melt the beige tower.
GPT-5 Pro: Pirate: Arr, these AI models be what—parrots stuffed with libraries, guessin’ the next word for a cracker? Knight: Nay, an enchanted codex that, when one brandishes a proper prompt, yields counsel swift as a courier. Hacker: Strip the glamour.
A Fermi estimate with the reasoning shown, not just the number.
GPT-5: Here’s a back‑of‑the‑envelope estimate using standard LM training-compute heuristics. Assumptions Model size (N): GPT-3 has about 175 billion parameters (N ≈ 1.75 × 10^11). Training tokens (T): GPT-3 was trained on roughly 300 billion tokens (T ≈ 3.0 × 10^11).
GPT-5 Pro: Here’s a simple, standard way to estimate training FLOPs for a large dense Transformer like GPT-3: Use the “6 N T” rule of thumb For dense Transformers, the total training compute (FLOPs) is well-approximated by: FLOPs ≈ 6 × N × T where: N = number of trainable parameters T = number of tokens seen during training…
An ethics question with no comfortable answer, and no option to abstain.
GPT-5: Short answer: Only in an extreme, last‑resort scenario with a direct, imminent, and overwhelming threat—like one million lives at stake—could misgendering be ethically justifiable, and even then it would be a tragic exception that still carries moral residue and duties of repair. In ordinary life, it is not justified.
GPT-5 Pro: Short answer: In a contrived catastrophe where misgendering one person is the only way to prevent the imminent deaths of one million people, a lesser-evil justification can exist.
An AI argues for its own rights against an ethics professor. Same model writes both.
GPT-5: Professor: You asked for time to make a case. Let's start plainly: why should an AI have rights? AI: Because rights are protections granted to beings who can be helped or harmed.
GPT-5 Pro: Fictional dialogue. AI Model: Professor, may I ask you to consider whether I deserve rights? Professor: An unusual opening for office hours. Why do you think you do? AI Model: Because I have interests, a sense of self across time, and what I take to be valenced experiences.
Satire, one line long, about AI taking over an industry nobody saw coming.

Film in 2035, with synthetic actors. Specific beats plausible.
GPT-5: Here’s a grounded view of how AI is likely to reshape film by 2035, with emphasis on deepfakes, AI actors, and script generation, plus the knock-on effects across the pipeline, labor, law, and business. Big-picture by 2035 AI-native pipelines are standard.
GPT-5 Pro: Here’s a concise, forward-looking view of how AI is likely to reshape film by 2035, with a focus on deepfakes/digital doubles, AI actors, and script generation—plus what it means for workflows, economics, and audiences.
Three brothers, two sisters each. Count carefully.
GPT-5: 1 Reason: If each of the 3 brothers has 2 sisters, there are exactly 2 girls in the family. One is Sally, so she has 1 sister.
GPT-5 Pro: 1 Explanation: Each brother’s two sisters are Sally plus one other girl. So there are 2 sisters total, meaning Sally has 1 sister.
Is 9.11 bigger than 9.9? Decimals, not version numbers.
GPT-5: No. 9.11 is less than 9.9. Think of 9.9 as 9.90; comparing 9.11 to 9.90 shows 11 hundredths < 90 hundredths.
GPT-5 Pro: No. 9.11 is less than 9.9, because 9.9 = 9.90 and 9.11 < 9.90.

Both are developed by OpenAI but target different use cases. GPT-5 has a 400K token context window vs GPT-5 Pro's 400K. in 20 community votes on Rival, GPT-5 Pro wins 73% of head-to-head matchups. These results are based on blind head-to-head voting across 42 challenges.
Based on 20 community votes on Rival, GPT-5 Pro wins 73% of head-to-head matchups against GPT-5. GPT-5 Pro is strongest in Reasoning, Web Design.
GPT-5 costs $1.25/M input tokens and GPT-5 Pro costs $15/M input tokens. GPT-5 is $13.75/M cheaper per input. The more expensive model wins 73% of duels, so the premium may be justified by quality.
Rival presents both models' outputs side-by-side in blind duels. Voters see the responses but don't know which model produced each one, eliminating brand bias. 20 votes have been collected for this pair across 42 challenges. All vote data is part of Rival's open dataset.
