GPT 5 is slow, opinionated and has a very bad bias, rebranded GORK. The subscription offers multiple models now only 1 I asked to find statues if violation of law (it is) and instead it provided a legal opinion. Really I do not use AI for legal opinions only to replace google.
OpenAI forced GPT 5, a violation of the subscription agreement. I tested the bias ... and its bad...

South Korea's Constitutional Court requires nine justices, Article 111 of the Constitution. However, with only eight members, a tie could result in a default "not guilty" ruling 66% chance. This situation was created by Money, who was pardoned by this President which is being impeached?
Another Tue and Wedhave passed. The average citizen in the Republic of Korea is indifferent to the recent attempts by the President to establish a dictatorship. The President has outlived his usefulness. The CEO of Samsung has been released from prison, but the President, who got bribes is in jail.

The image shows a rolled-up employment contract with key terms like "work hours," "wages," "safety," and "harassment prevention" partially hidden along the edges. A large magnifying glass hovers over the contract, highlighting the bold text "Article 93" in the center. In the background, faint words read "protecting your rights," symbolizing the hidden nature of the policies. The design is clean and professional, conveying the idea that important policies, though often unseen, are vital in protecting workers' rights. Text overlay: "Did you know? Under Article 93 of South Korea's Labor Standards Act, employers with 10+ workers must register rules on work hours, wages, safety, harassment prevention & more. It is the hidden part of your contract. These hidden policies protect and affect your rights at work."

The image shows a serious courtroom scene in Korea. A judge is seated behind a wooden desk with a gavel placed on it, symbolizing the authority of the court. In the background, a banner is displayed, highlighting the legal consequences of defamation, specifically referencing the potential prison sentences and fines. The scales of justice are placed prominently on the desk, symbolizing fairness and law. The room is clean, formal, and focused, reflecting the gravity of criminal defamation in Korea.
In Korea, defamation is a criminal offense. Publicly alleging facts about someone can lead to 2 years in prison or a 5M won fine. For false allegations, it's up to 5 years, 10-year suspension of qualifications, or 10M won fine. #KoreanLaw #Defamation
