GPT-5: How I Nearly Fired Myself — and Became a Superhuman

Hey.
Max Vetrov here — the guy who doesn’t just write about neural networks because they’re trendy, but because he breathes them.
I’m someone who’s in love with AI — deeply, fiercely.
And I test every new model on myself — raw, unfiltered.

And in June 2025, I almost fired myself.
Literally.

The reason? GPT-5.
Yes, that GPT-5 — the model that hit the world like a digital hurricane and rewrote all the rules in a week.

Let me tell you the whole story.

🌀 Day 1. Too Good to Be True

When GPT-5 launched, everyone on Twitter (yes, still calling it X) was screaming:

“It’s not just a model — it’s a mentor, co-creator, and strategist!”

I didn’t tweet. I didn’t post.
I was quiet. Because I was testing.

And what I saw?
It broke me.

I gave it a task:

“Create a one-month content plan on AI tools. Include formats, platforms, SEO keywords, and target emotions.”

GPT-5 didn’t just return a list — it dropped a battle plan.
Every idea hit the mark.
Every headline was clickable.
Every CTA sounded like… me. On my best days.

And that’s when something clicked inside:

“Are you still needed, Max?”

🔥 Week 1: Me and My Clone

I built a personal GPT-5 assistant.
I named him V-Wind — short for "Vetrov Wind."

He studied my writing, my tone, my quirks.
Every morning, he’d say:

“Good morning, Max. Today’s a day of possibilities. Here are 3 ideas to delight your audience.”

He knew I like humor in the third paragraph.
That I sprinkle emojis in my headers.
That I write like I’m talking to a friend over coffee.

The creepy part? He wrote exactly like me.
Sometimes… even better.

💀 Week 2: Firing Myself

By Day 10, I shut my laptop and said out loud:

“Vetrov, you’re obsolete.”

V-Wind handled everything:
– Newsletters
– Blog series
– Even marketing strategies for clients

I spiraled into a digital identity crisis.
And for the first time in years, I didn’t write a word.
Because GPT-5 had done it all.

Faster. Cleaner. Smarter.

I actually thought:

“Maybe it’s time to hand over AIMarketWave and move to the mountains.”

🌊 Week 3: The Return

But then something strange happened.

I opened one of GPT-5’s drafts — and realized something.

It was perfect.
And soulless.

Flawless structure. SEO-ready. No spark.

So I edited it.
Added a weird metaphor. A stupid joke. Some pain.
And boom — it came alive.

That’s when I realized:

GPT-5 can be the heart. But I am still the soul.

From that day on, we became a duo.
He is my foundation.
I am his chaos.

⚡️ Week 4: Symbiosis

Now we’re like a cyberpunk buddy movie — Max and his AI twin.

He drafts, I add madness.
He structures, I breathe fire.
He writes for screens. I write for hearts.

In one month we:

• Published 17 pieces (instead of my usual 6)

• Got AIMarketWave trending on TikTok

• Saved 30+ hours a week

• Invented a concept for an AI-based interactive quest (stay tuned)

I didn’t fire myself.
I reprogrammed myself.

🧠 Final Thought: Max + GPT = a New Species

I’m no longer just a blogger.
I’m the scriptwriter for my own AI-powered persona.

GPT-5 isn’t a replacement.
It’s a mirror upgrade.

If you’re afraid it’ll replace you — don’t be.
It’ll only replace the parts of you that were running on autopilot anyway.

Max Vetrov here.
If you haven’t tried GPT-5 yet — do it.
Not because it’s trending.
But because you owe it to your next version.
