During OpenAI’s GPT-5 launch event, they demoed the model’s ability to fix real bugs in production code. Live on stage. In their own repository. The kind of demo that makes CTOs reach for their credit cards and engineers nervously update their resumes. There’s just one small problem: the fix they promised to merge “right after the show” is still sitting there, unmerged, three and a half months later.

OpenAI did some live slop coding on their python SDK during the launch event of ChatGPT 5. They chose to fix a real bug as an example. During the session they claimed that the AI fixed the bug, that it was good enough to merge, and that they will do so after the show. Now its three months later and the bug is still open.
