When OpenAI launched GPT5 recently it took away access to its earlier models (which people preferred) because an LLM can't learn new things.

If you ask GPT3 about anything that happened in 2025 it doesn't know, which spoils the illusion.
An LLM is basically lossy compression for the google cache, with hallucinations being a bit like jpeg artifacts. Each LLM is a snapshot in time from when "training" slowly and expensively compressed a historical dataset.
