🖼️ GPT-5 Struggles with Text in Images
Here’s something important to know if you’re creating images in ChatGPT. I ran the same prompt in two models: - GPT-5 → full of spelling mistakes ❌ - GPT-4o (legacy) → perfect text ✅ 👉 Tip: When you need images that include text (like posters, social posts, or graphics), switch to one of the legacy models in your settings. They handle text much more accurately than GPT-5. 📸 (See both examples below)

Is there also an issue with including calculations in images? In both examples the Balance Sheet and Income Statement arithmetic is all over the place.

@Mark Wickersham Sorry! After a lifetime of accounting I can't see a set of numbers without feeling an irresistible urge to add them up.
❓ Not happy with GPT-5? Here’s how to get the old models back
If you’ve tried GPT-5 and it’s not quite clicking for you, there’s good news… you can still access the older models. OpenAI has kept them available for Plus, Pro, Team, and Enterprise users—you just have to switch them on. How to do it: 1. Go to your ChatGPT settings (on web) 2. Find General > Show legacy models 3. Toggle it on You’ll then see the older models available again in your model selector. 📸 (I’ll add a screenshot below so you know exactly what to look for) Have you tried GPT-5 yet? Do you prefer it… or are you switching back to one of the older models?

@Mark Wickersham Yes, I'd be interested to see what Agent can produce. I don't think I have access to it? I used your Industry and Business Strategic Research prompt and asked GPT5 to look at https://therockfish.co.uk My real worry is that if I can spot problems when GPT5 is reporting on a niche and market I know reasonably well, how can I trust its responses when researching a business or industry I'm unfamiliar with? I could potentially make myself look very foolish. For clarification Rockfish are not my clients but I'm familiar with their business and I have a good idea who their real competitors are and the business challenges they face.

@Mark Wickersham Thank you, this is very much better. I know 5 of these competitors and I agree with ChatGPT's assessments. If I was being picky I'd want to add that Rockfish also competes for customers with non-seafood establishments including food-led pubs, Wetherspoons and a couple of Michelin-starred restaurants. But I can't see any inaccuracies with the information presented. In the meantime I've re-run the original prompt using GPT-5 Thinking (which wasn't available during my earlier attempts). This gave me a better result - the competitors listed were actual seafood businesses - but it wasn't hot on geography; including Rick Stein's restaurant empire based in N Cornwall and another business based on the Lancashire coast. It all feels a bit hit and miss. I'd be happy to use the better results for internal research but very wary of incorporating them into a report for presentation to a client or prospect.
💬 Thinking About Starting Your Own Community?
Last month, I hosted a livestream all about the power of communities—especially why accounting firm owners should seriously consider building one of their own. If you missed it, I walked through: - Why community-building is such a powerful positioning tool - How platforms like Skool make it surprisingly easy to get started - What I’ve learned running my own communities - Real examples of how accountants can use community to deepen client relationships, offer group programs, or even add a new revenue stream 🎥 You can catch the replay here. 💡 Here’s my offer to you: If you decide to start your own Skool community using my affiliate link, I’ll go a step further… ✅ I’ll also personally help guide you through the setup process, via a private course within this community, including the AI prompts I use to save time. 💼 Use my affiliate link here. Got questions about running a community, the Skool platform, or how this could fit into your business model? 👇 Drop them in the comments—I’m happy to help!

That's a great offer @Mark Wickersham I plan to migrate from Kajabi to Skool, largely because the Kajabi communities have an unfriendly set up process and UX. And nobody wants an unfriendly community! The only disadvantage I can see is it doesn't look like Skool has a facility for discount codes. I'd like to give discounted membership to some people but it looks like that isn't possible?
