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…

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.

There's now a "Professional" preset -- seems better than "Efficient" in my recent experience.

Are you just talking hypothetically about an abstract harm that might occur in an imaginary world or do you think that's what DEI is?

[dead]

I think that there were and are a lot of different DEI programs with lots of different targets and goals and that the people who were not "uplifted", either by any single specific program, or all of them in aggregate, do not make up a coherent identifiable group.

Auto will never work, because for the exact same prompt sometimes you want a quick answer because it's not something very important to you, and sometimes you want the answer to be as accurate as possible, even if you have to wait 10 minutes. In my case it would be more useful to have a slider of how much I'm willing to wait. For example instant, or think up to 1 minute, or think up to 15 minutes.

That's pretty close to what they have. They just named them Instant, Thinking (Standard), and Thinking (Extended), and they're discrete presets instead of a slider.

But the time it takes is too variable. Even standard can sometimes take 15+ minutes.

Yeah, for a while ChatGPT Plus has been powered by two series of models under the hood. One series is the Instant series, which is faster and more tuned to ChatGPT, but less accurate. The second series is the Thinking series, which is more accurate and more tuned to professional knowledge work, but slower (because it uses more reasoning tokens). We'd also prefer to have simple experience with just one option, but pic…

By the way, I imagine you know this, but the product split is not obvious, even to my 20-something kids that are Plus subscribers - I saw one of them chatting with the instant model recently and I was like "No!! Never do that!!" and they did not understand they were getting the (I'm sorry to say) much less capable model. I think it's confusing enough it's a brand harm. I offer no solutions, unfortunately. I guess you…

I mean, they must know this. Imagine how many tokens they're saving.

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 needlessl…

Glad I saw a comment like this. TBH, while I may find the output style somewhat infomercial-ly, I don't really get the hatred. ChatGPT IS NOT AN ACTUAL PERSON. Like why do people care so much? Like you said, I just ignore the "persona" phrases, and just use ChatGPT (or, used to anyway, before switching to Claude because OpenAI leadership can suck it) to get information and answer my questions. Seriously, though, just…

You’re absolutely right!

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...

seems like gemini 3 flash is still cheaper unless im reading that website wrong

from the benchmarks , not sure exactly what use cases 3.1 lite will be for

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…

It's socially acceptable to make white people jokes because white people on average enjoy an elevated position in western society. It's viewed as 'punching up'. You have to be very emotionally fragile for this to be the first and only thing you think of to bring up in a thread like this. It's also supremely uninteresting cable news talking point slop.

Or, now hear me out, we don't be racist. Have you considered that?
