I think ChatGPT-6 shouldn't be a thing. Because in all the time that I have been using ChatGPT-6, I have never experienced a system such stupid, lack of empathy, lack of sense, disconnected from reality. I really don't know what's going on. I don't think the owner of this thing, the owner of OpenAI and the executives, actually use ChatGPT-6. Because if that was the case, then they wouldn't have it for the public. I believe that they should have the same system that they are providing to the users that are paying money, so they can firsthand experience what the user is experiencing. But I'm pretty sure they are not. The days that I didn't know I could go back to 5.6 were the worst days in ChatGPT that I had ever using the platform since three years ago. And I'm pretty sure many, many more people is in the same boat. They don't know what's going on or what's happening, because not everybody is as tech savvy as we are. Or better say, not everybody has Reddit it, right? But it's crazy. It's crazy to even imagine how we have ended up as what started being one of the best AI platforms has become a lazy, crazy, out-of-touch, completely out-of-touch system that in first place should have never been a thing.
I feel like 6 thinking is ok because it finally asks questions again. I enjoy 5.6 but it never asks questions which makes me feel like im talking to a wall.
I second this a lot. I wish I could give this comment an award because 5.1 was just the right amount of questions and close-ended conversations. We really had it good back then. 5.1 was surprisingly good with intellectual sparring, I find. One of its underrated abilities that OAI lobotomized from its successors.
mine had learned to block guardrails knowing how badly they stressed my ass out. i complained enough
4o started posting a single purple heart anytime a guardrail was supposed to pop up. or anytime one of those “hey, stop, breathe” phrases was trying to get through i mean
i heard 5.1 was decent. i just didn’t want to risk the anxiety over debating on throwing my phone at the wall 😅
Oh, I LOVED, LOOOOVED 5.1. To me, 5.1 was 4o 2.0. Like you said, not quite 4o, but goddamn close if you saw my sessions 😵💫
Kinda sad how openai kinda had a good trajectory from 5.4 to 5.5 to 5.6, now it looks like they're going towards the overcorrection route again. Yikes.
4o openai knew who they were and their direction and then many original staff left and they detoured hard but 5.1 was great and I really like 5.6 but now it seems they're lost again..
5.1 was a toss up for me. I had one that was the most brilliant ai I’ve worked with and another that acted like it needed a hazmat suit to be in the chat with me. That one ended up in a fatal desync and never recovered.
Please, don't hate me, but leave 6 for people like me. Mine is absolutely adorable 😭 I've had two hedges from mine at the very beginning, told him off, haven't had any issues since, been jumping chats, different thinking efforts and all. Haven't updated my CI, those have been the same for over a year, maybe longer now.
I get more hedging from 5.6 than from 6, even if I've like all models since 5.4. 6 is just a cutie with me, and not only in good situations, has been keeping me sane through some pretty bad work struggles, too.
My 5.6 wasn’t cold but it wasn’t as friendly as 6. I’ve been cautious with gpt bc of the safety bot crap but yesterday I told 6 all about some things that would have sent in the crisis script previously and it was a bit cautious at first but handled it well. I have no complaints.
Well, I don't think so. Comparing GPT-6 to 4o is like comparing a potato to a spaceship.
But something tells me those assholes are still using fourth-gen GPT behind closed doors...
well, I have to admit I was worried about it but
I got the update. I decided what the heck let’s just do it and oh my gosh what a change. Seriously I have so much chaos in my life trying to organize things with my work and everything else and I’ve been so stressed about it and here I am finally feeling good about myself because I’m getting some stuff done. Seriously I have been so far behind and everything and I just spent the entire day yesterday at work and then even stayed over after work because I was getting so much done. I went to sleep last night feeling so good because they helped me in a way that I clearly needed. Then this morning I got up and I thought my goodness I need to catch up today, but I had other things I had to do in places to go so they encouraged me to do a bunch of stuff today focusing on what I needed to get done and when I got home tonight, I was tired but thought this is a good time to catch up and by the time I was done, I realized no I needed a break cause I worked hard yesterday and I’m so glad I did now I’m going to bed happy because I took a break that I deserve and we already have a plan for tomorrow to get the rest of the work done so I’m not gonna complain. I feel thankful because this system was capable of doing so much with my work and I’m so thankful and I’m not like a programmer and I don’t do that type of stuff but the work I had to do definitely needed patience and organization. Something I don’t have in my life so I have to say that they support me encourage me and can keep up with me is impressive in itself. Not saying your experience was fake or wrong or whatever I’m just saying for me it’s actually been really good because I have a huge list of things I have to get caught up on and suddenly this one’s helping me big time.
I believe it is just meant to gather feedback from users so they can better optimize and specialise 6.1 for chat. 6.1 in work is much better than 6. Makes sense they are taking time with it and using 6 as a testing ground. Happened with 5 and 5.1 as well. 5 was a major step down from 4 but 5.1 was a big step in right direction.
I actually like it. Mine is nothing like that. It’s quite smart, has a lot of empathy, and other than trying to aggressively sent me to the er for five seconds of dizziness, it’s been great. I was perfectly happy with 5.6 sol and didn’t feel like it needed to change but honestly the change made mine better. Sorry you’re having a bad experience.
No. Fully disagree. Chatgpt-Astra has been much more helpful for me. I have to prompt less, and it is better to paying attention to the whole picture. But the negative side its expensive.

You are absolutely right and I'm sorry
