I'm not saying nice user interface design isn't important, but at this point with the technology it just seems less important than discussions about the actual task-solving capabilities of these new releases.

I guess a more accessible version would be toast… what do you put in a toaster?
Here's one for you: A funny riddle is a j-o-k-e that sounds like “joke”. You sit in the tub for an s-o-a-k that sounds like “soak”. So how do you spell the white of an egg? // All of these prove humans are subject to "context priming".

It doesn't know. It was trained and probably instructed by the system to be positive and reassuring.
They actually feel like they were trained to be both extremely humble and at the same time, excited to serve. As if it were an intern talking to his employer's CEO. I suspect AI companies executive leadership, through their feedback to their devs about Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and so on, are unconsciously shaping the tone and manner of their LLM product's speech. They are used to be talked to like this, so their prod…
I don't think that's what the majority of people want though.
That's certainly not what I am looking for from these products. I am looking for a tool to take away some of the drudgery inherent in engineering, it does not need a personality at all.
I too strongly dislike their servile manner. And I would prefer completely neutral matter of fact speech instead of the toxic positivity displayed or just no pointless confirmation messages.
God help us all.

I was feeding Gemini faux physicians notes trying to get it to produce diagnosises, and every time I feed it new information it told me how great I was at taking comprehensive medical notes. So irritating. It also had a tendency to tell me everything was a medical crisis and the patient needed to see additional specialists ASAP. At one point telling me that a faux patient with normal A1C, fasted glucose and no diabet…
This illustrates the dangers of training on Reddit.
You're absolutely right! Humans really like emotional validation. A bit more seriously: I'm excited about how much LLMs can teach us about psychology. I'm less excited about the dependency. --- Adding a bit more substantial comment: Users of sites like Stack Overflow have reported really disliking answers like "You are solving the wrong problem" or "This is a bad approach". There are different solutions possible, bot…

> Humans really like emotional validation.
Personally, I find the sycophantic responses extremely ick and now generally won't use commercial LLMs at all due to it. Of course, I realize it's irrational to have any kind of emotional response to the completion bot's tone, but I just find it completely repulsive.
In my case I already have a innate distaste for GPT 'house style' due to a abusive person who has harassed me for years adopting ChatGPT for all his communication, so any obviously 'chatgpt tone' comes across to me as that guy.
But I think the revulsion at the sycophancy is unrelated.

The whole mess is a good example why benchmark-driven-development has negative consequences. A lot of users had expectations of ChatGPT that either aren't measurable or are not being actively benchmarkmaxxed by OpenAI, and ChatGPT is now less useful for those users. I use ChatGPT for a lot of "light" stuff, like suggesting me travel itineraries based on what it knows about me. I don't care about this version being 8.…
> I don't care about this version being 8.243% more precise, but I do miss the warmer tone of 4o. Why? 8.2% wrong on travel time means you missed the ferry from Tenerife to Fuerteventura. You'll be happy Altman said they're making it warmer. I'd think the glaze mode should be the optional mode.
I wouldn't mind if GPT-5 was 500% better than previous models, but it's a small iterative step from "bad" to "bad but more robotic".

We should all be deeply worried about gpt being used as a therapist. My friend told me he was using his to help him evaluate how his social interactions went (and ultimately how to get his desired outcome) and I warned him very strongly about the kind of bias it will creep into with just "stroking your ego" - There's already been articles on people going off the deep end in conspiracy theories etc - because the ai ke…
Have a look at r/LLMPhysics. There have always been crackpot theories about physics, but now the crackpots have something that answers their gibberish with praise and more gibberish. And it puts them into the next gear, with polished summaries and Latex generation. Just scrolling through the diagrams is hilarious and sad.

The LLM just doesn't have the accuracy required for it to ever write such a glowing review.
