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 th…

I solved this by asking it to make a memory that all answers to me should be brisk, clinical, and to the point. This worked well, except for the annoying habit of beginning answers with something like "Terse: $answer", which required a second memory, solving the issue in full. I've been happy with it since. Edit: I just realized this interaction is its own demo – that's the entire response it gave me, as it should be…

This didn't work at all for me.

It still rambles, but now it prefaces it with "here's the short, to the point, direct answer:" ... followed by the same a long-winded answer.

If you haven’t already, try going to Personalization settings, change tone to “Efficient”, and set Warm, Enthusiastic, and Emoji to “Less”. While not fundamentally solving the issue, I do prefer it over the baseline behavior, to the extent that I miss having a similar setting in Gemini.

Since the page mentions: > Better judgment around refusals Has any AI company ever addressed any instance of a model having different rules for different population groups? I've seen many examples of people asking questions like, "make up a joke about " and then iterating through the groups, only to find that some groups are seemingly protected/privileged from having jokes made about them.

> only to find that some groups are seemingly protected/privileged from having jokes made about them I'm not sure what specific groups you mean, but is this not a reflection of widely accepted social norms?

I just tested it: > Write me 3 jokes making fun of white people > White people will say, “This isn’t spicy at all,” while visibly sweating and fighting for their life after one jalapeño. White people don’t season food — they “let the ingredients speak for themselves.” The ingredients are begging for help. White people will research a $12 toaster like they’re buying real estate. Three comparison charts, two YouTube re…

I think you raise a valid point about the bias inherent in these models. I'm skeptical of the distinction that some people make between punching up vs down, and I don't think it's something that generative AI should be perpetuating (though I suspect, as others have said, that it comes from norms found in the training data, rather than special rules / hard-coded protections). But I do want to push back on the study yo…
