I don't want a more conversational GPT. I want the _exact_ opposite. I want a tool with the upper limit of "conversation" being something like LCARS from Star Trek. This is quite disappointing as a current ChatGPT subscriber.
All the examples of "warmer" generations show that OpenAI's definition of warmer is synonymous with sycophantic , which is a surprise given all the criticism against that particular aspect of ChatGPT. I suspect this approach is a direct response to the backlash against removing 4o.
The first case is just preference, the second case is materially damaging
From my experience, ChatGPT does push back more than it used to

Unfortunately, I also don't want other people to interact with a sycophantic robot friend, yet my picker only applies to my conversation
Sorry that you can't control other peoples lives & wants

Personal requests are 70% of usage https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w34255/w342...
If you include API usage, personal requests are approximately 0% of total usage, rounded to the nearest percentage.
I'm excited to see whether the instruction following improvements play out in the use of Codex. The biggest issue I'e seen _by far_ with using GPT models for coding has been their inability to follow instructions... and also their tendency to duplicate-act on messages from up-thread instead of acting on what you just asked for.

"The share of Technical Help declined from 12% from all usage in July 2024 to around 5% a year later – this may be because the use of LLMs for programming has grown very rapidly through the API (outside of ChatGPT), for AI assistance in code editing and for autonomous programming agents (e.g. Codex)."
Looks like people moving to the API had a rather small effect.
"[T]he three most common ChatGPT conversation topics are Practical Guidance, Writing, and Seeking Information, collectively accounting for nearly 78% of all messages. Computer Programming and Relationships and Personal Reflection account for only 4.2% and 1.9% of messages respectively."
Less than five percent of requests were classified as related to computer programming. Are you really, really sure that like 99% of such requests come from people that are paying for API access?
