Very bad habit these safeguards. These "safety" filters are counter-productive and even can be dangerous. In my place for example, a lot of doctors are using ChatGPT both to search diagnosis and communicate with non-English speaking patients.

I think that's the problem. Who's going to claim responsibility when ChatGPT hallucinates or mistranslates a patient's diagnosis and they die? For OpenAI, this would at best be a PR nightmare, so that's why they have safeguards.

Can you really believe things that the model says? (A lot of prior model api pages say knowledge cutoffs of June 2024, maybe the model picks that up?)
Knowledge cutoff: 2024-06

# Desired oververbosity for the final answer (not analysis): 5
An oververbosity of 1 means the model should respond using only the minimal content necessary to satisfy the request, using
concise phrasing and avoiding extra detail or explanation."
An oververbosity of 10 means the model should provide maximally detailed, thorough responses with context, explanations, and
possibly multiple examples."
The desired oververbosity should be treated only as a *default*. Defer to any user or developer requirements regarding
response length, if present.Re: OpenAI releases GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro in the API

Just ask it about an event that happened shortly before Dec 1, 2025. Sporting event, preferably.
