The single biggest issue for me with ChatGPT right now is how absolutely awful it sounds in every answer. "Why it matters", "the big picture", "it's not jut you", the awful emphasis, the quotations with rhetorical questions, etc.. I don't know if it's intentional so you can easily spot ChatGPT-generated content on the web? The very first GPT-5 version was good but they ruined it immediately afterwards with "making the personality warmer" and making the same mistakes as 4o. I see now that they even ruined Japanese even though it was one of the best languages supported by ChatGPT (under "Limitations" at the end). I don't use it anymore, immensely disappointed.

Gemini 3.1 Lite with no reasoning does better than Gpt-5.3 with no reasoning? https://aibenchy.com/compare/google-gemini-3-1-flash-lite-pr...

Gemini is also far cheaper: Total Cost: $0.256 [Gpt-5.3] vs $0.011

Unless you set Gemini 3.1 Flash-lite to HIGH, then it uses a crazy amount of tokens for reasoning (and also leads to a worse result, maybe it's bugged on high?)

I suppose they'll soon introduce a more expensive tier that does not sound pompous. There will be plenty of converts.

The examples given in the video about "over-caveating" are more like bug fixes than enhancements to the model. You don't see those kind of responses on most newer models ("Sure! Let's look at your physics question, but remember - it can't be used for evil, so don't ask!!!")

OpenAI, yet again, launching something so it can pat itself on the back. Just merge with Anthropic and kill ChatGPT.

claude models with 'extended thinking' toggled answer very quickly and the quality of the answer is far ahead of what gpt 5.2 'instant' provides. i wont even bother using the non-thinking version of chatgpt because the quality of the answers is awful and usually incorrect.

It's a somewhat annoying to me as well, but I'm now able to read it and take the valuable content without getting hung up on those repetitive phrases. It also forces me to not simply copy/paste. I read the LLM output, think about it, comprehend it in my own voice internally, and then I write what I want/need by hand, so it ultimately comes out in my own style and I don't propagate the LLM output onto others needlessly.

The most frustrating part for me is that this is how I used to write. I was always doing, "Why X works, but Y doesn't" and stuff like that. I may have seemed trite or pompous (or both) in the past, but now it seems like I'm copying an LLM -- which actually feels worse. One thing I haven't seen ChatGPT do much of is use sound-effects, so swoosh here we go with my new writing style schwing!
