GPT-5 almost matches human pros in real-world jobs

Technology Sep 30, 2025

OpenAI just rolled out GDPval, a tool that puts its AI models to the test on real-world tasks from 44 different professions.
The results? Their latest model, GPT-5, came surprisingly close to matching human pros in areas like real estate, healthcare, and finance—showing just how far AI has come in 2025.

AI can assist humans in repetitive tasks

Interestingly, Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.1 was the best performing model across 220 tasks, followed by GPT-5.
Still, OpenAI admits their tech isn't perfect—sometimes it makes mistakes (called "hallucinations"), so humans still need to keep an eye on things.
The big takeaway: these AIs are here to help with repetitive work and make jobs easier—not take them away entirely—since most real-world roles need a human touch for the complex stuff.
