OpenAI says GPT-5.2 can outperform human experts at real, economically valuable work. That is a bold claim, especially for knowledge workers who rely on high-quality analysis, strategy, and decision support every day. In this class from the Gen AI App Series, we take a close look at whether GPT-5.2 represents a genuine productivity breakthrough or simply another incremental model upgrade wrapped in big promises.
This class focuses on the real question professionals care about most: can GPT-5.2 actually deliver outputs you would feel confident sharing with a colleague, a manager, or a client? We examine how the model performs on tasks like survey analysis, content strategy, and strategic planning, and what OpenAI really means by claims around human-level or better performance. Rather than benchmarks alone, the emphasis is on practical business value and where the model meaningfully raises the bar.
You will also see how GPT-5.2’s three operating modes change the way work gets done. From near-instant responses to slower, deeper reasoning workflows, this class breaks down how “thinking” works in practice, what you gain from extended reasoning, and where the trade-offs start to matter. By the end, you will have a clear, unbiased sense of whether GPT-5.2 deserves a place in your workflow.
