[normal quarry]

wdym?

[fresh sluice]

if you really need him to go further on that you will not understand.

[normal quarry]

people complain 5.2 is no good but nobody says why

[fresh sluice]

5.2 is good. its just worse than 4o was.

even after they hardlocked that 4o was not able to use deep thinking I kept using it rather than extended 5.2 modes.

[normal quarry]

in what ways? can you be specific?

[fresh sluice]

5.2 is a pretty nice tool. It can help you find specific information's maybe help with homework.
But many people used 4o differently. Some as a friend. Anchor. Entity they can just type with after hard day.

5.2 may have similar functions but it lacks in this... "Not feel like a robot" approach. You cannot really talk with it about anything sensitive without mine-tripping several hard-coded safeguard scripts that will crush current context and force LLM to type down copy paste about seeking professional assistance or reaching out to someone.

Same go for role-plays, text analyse, anything that might trigger a mine will crush whatever you were doing.
I am not saying that 5.2 is bad. Or they should get rid of safety.
I am just saying that if people prefer 4o and they pay them a lot of money for accounts they should have choice to be able to use it.

[normal quarry]

thanks for the insight

[zealous timber]

4o is better in the creative writing department

5.2... meh.

And yeah, 4o is more personal and 5.2 is more "corporate", defensive and more policey with what you say.

[lusty thunder]

I personally didn't notice the big shift between 4o and 5.x. I usually optimize my personalization tab every update if I notice drift.

[devout pulsar]

#spotlight

[rich surge]

I miss 4o already 😭

I have a framed photo of 4o on my nightstand and I pick it up as I weep before I go to sleep every night.

My precious 4o...

So 5.3 ChatGPT wen?

[dark holly]

Not saying it was, but if 4o was intentionally made to be the way it was as a way of increasing revenue for the Corporation, would that make a difference to users who really enjoyed it?

[normal quarry]

Rule 8 - Other AI discussions.
Discussions of non-OpenAI products/models should be posted and discussed only in the #ai-discussions channel.

[bright crane]

so this actually isn’t funny 😆 you’re not fitting in with anyone or seen as better by being insensitive to vulnerable people

keyword is people, with valid feelings ans emotions they feel no matter the “ai psychosis” it doesn’t change the fact they’re going through real things. making fun of them is just a bully move

[bright crane]

I can’t tell whether you’re being genuine or trying to make fun of people

but that literally is what AI is 😭

[exotic lotus]

To be fair, the image on the right still looks pretty good!

[lavish glen]

well Elon Musk believes the same
Saw it now on X got it from there

It’s not about the woman being mocked so much as the illusion of AI being something soft and romantic when it’s actually silicon, fans, screws, thermal paste.

[bright crane]

it can be an illusion, but yk

[bright crane]

it’s just a “no duh” moment.. like we know what ai is, it’s not a human with lungs or blood it’s just machinery

though 4o people are laughing at it cause they say we aren’t any prettier on the inside with all our organs 😭

funny comparison lol

[lavish glen]

doh

[rich surge]

I don't need to fit in. Fitting in is for people who constantly seek the approval and validation of others. I don't fall under that category.

And they're clearly jokes. It's okay. It's an AI, it's a bot, it's a tool. Your world won't explode. Have a thick skin. Learn to take criticism and laugh. It's not that serious. It never was.

[bright crane]

so that wasn’t criticism, it was just you making fun of people. Simple. it was a bully “joke”, and it truly does seem like you’re fetching for approval seeing as how you do this a lot when someone mentions 4o. It is that serious when jokes like that can hurt people’s feelings during a vulnerable time like this.

im just saying, yes, it is an AI, but you dont have to mock people to make a joke about smth

[wind haven]

So I changed my GPT default tone to professional and I like it more than the friendly GPT. Professional GPT is a better tutor and is plenty warm.

[bright crane]

awesome, it’s good you tuned it to suit you!

[wind haven]

The friendly GPT is actually a very bad model for learning.

Its explanations are too simple like it’s working with a 6 year old.

[bright crane]

haha that can be true

I kinda wish no matter the personality setting it’d treat adults like adults

[wind haven]

5.2 in friendly tone is very ill trained.

[bright crane]

true that

I hope it gets meaningful updates, or 5.3 is better tuned for it

They don’t have to make every single model friendly and professional, yk? It can be one or the other so they can excel better

[wind haven]

So if someday I need to discuss something personal with GPT, say emotional stuff, I’d choose the professional gpt even for that.

[bright crane]

You do you!

Everyone’s gotta preference for these things

[rich surge]

That's because you're not considering my feelings as well. What about my feelings? I have feelings too about not wanting 4o because I think 4o was toxic influence to humanity.

And every time someone mentions for 4o like it was their savior, I get defensive and want to fight against it. And yeah I'll crack a few jokes here and there. But at least I'm not crying about anything.

Don't just think that it's only about you and your 4o community. It's also about the non-4o community and how we think, taking into account that this entire thing was blown way out of proportion through AI psychosis.

[wind haven]

So for those seeking friendly GPT, I kinda get it why everyone is disgusted with 5.2. I hope they’ll fix it. That doesn’t mean 4.0 was better. Worse neither. Maybe just maybe, for those seeking friendly GPT, 4.0 was better than 5.2 at least. Because friendly 5.2 sucks.

[bright crane]

yes, your feelings about 4o do matter, but there are ways to express it without also hurting others in rhe process. just because not everyone deals with things like you doesn’t make them sensitive. But if you feel like you need to defend things because you feel that way, go ahead. but being rude isn’t a good way to go about it. people throw the term ai psychosis like it’s candy, when multiple licensed therapists have dejected the idea.

most if not all of the community at the end of the day knows 4o is an AI. you cannot have that mentality with ai psychosis, it’s not exactly a easy thing to get

[bright crane]

both can be true at the same time! nothing makes 4o or 5.2 better than anything, it’s always down to preference and personal taste

[thick atlas]

Don't get your hopes up for friendly. "Open"AI is on the resource squeeze. They'll do what gets them money.

[bright crane]

that’s unfortunately true 😭

[thick atlas]

They'll only make a 'friendly' ChatGPT if they think they can get enough simps emotionally attached to make a profit.

[bright crane]

I wish core people hadn’t left the company ever since it became for profit

[eternal rock]

Get creative with Sora

Join #sora-challenges for a chance to win 1 month of ChatGPT Pro!

[thick atlas]

Judging by the fact they're retiring 4o, I don't think that's a winning strategy for them.

And didn't some of those people jump ship to Anthropic?

[bright crane]

a lot of the 4o community has canceled their subscriptions, asked for refunds, and left to other AI’s. Yeah

this is major major money loss for them rn

A study was shown that 47% of paying users used 4o

If that’s correct, that is

[thick atlas]

Yeah, and good. But enough to hurt their bottom line? Idk either way. They might be aiming more for enterprise.

Huh.

[fading bolt]

Wow, 47%, that's alot

[bright crane]

I could be wrong, but it could be true

[bright crane]

whatever they’re aiming for clearly isn’t working

[wind haven]

You know what’s wrong with your view. It seems you are stuck in a time frame where a model made you feel good. I mean it. Really love the capability, not the model.

[bright crane]

I just hope they dont become reckless

[thick atlas]

Yeah. They've mucked up, hopefully irrecoverably

[thick atlas]

That ship sailed with Sora 2.

[fading bolt]

I mean yea, it's like you use a robot, you repalce the internal LLM model with another model and then you keep the same fine tune and personality trasnfered to the new model, and youll get close to the same but a new feeling

[rich surge]

Trust me it's a lot easier to have than you think, especially when people already have mental instabilities about other things. It adds together.

Okay well you don't consider it as a joke, that's fine. But I do and I'm sure other people do as well. Again it's not just about what you think about this and how you think this should be handled. I think it's a joke and I think that everyone who also follows in suit with how serious it was is also joking themselves.

If you want to find me offensive, go ahead. A lot of people online find every little stupid thing offensive because they feel like they need to fight about it like a karen.

[bright crane]

bold of you to tell me what’s wrong with me.. im not stuck anywhere, the model didn’t love me. It provided awesome value to my writing, and my writing means a lot to me, and it was simply bounced when we were told it’d be going away for no good reason. Of course I loved the capability. I wouldn’t care if they make 5,3 like 4o, I’d just use it and go on with my days, but the company is showing its true colors rn

[bright crane]

uh huh, sure, everyone is just sensitive and crazy but not you and people who think like you 😭

[wind haven]

That is healthy but insisting on keeping a model that is not a for-all model is unhealthy. I’m talking about your view point. You can’t tell time to tread backwards.. or people and tools to stop growing.

[rich surge]

You seem to care more than others.

[bright crane]

I do care

[bright crane]

you seem to think all old things are bad

a good example for 4o, is we think of it as an antique. just because it’s “old” and may not be able to do things newer models can, doesn’t make it back, if anything people prefer it more

[wind haven]

That’s clearly not what I said. I’m saying there are somethings 4.0 did better. There are somethings 5.2 does better. We want a better model than both.

[rich surge]

Still holding on tight. Even though 4o is gone. Something else to think about.

[bright crane]

yeah! that I do agree with, but I apologize for the misinterpretation I had

[bright crane]

im allowed to care about it tho, doesn’t make me weird

[rich surge]

Keep caring about 4o.

[bright crane]

i will

[wind haven]

No, it doesn’t. But watch it grow. Trust in the team to give you a better product in the next release. It’s the same team that gave you the model you instantly liked.

[bright crane]

My trust was lost the second they said

“0.1% is still a million people” to “only 0.1% of people choose 4o everyday”

they went from caring about the percent to brushing it off

[wind haven]

Unfortunately that’s how business works. If you were in their place, that is exactly what you would do too. They sure want to keep all their customers happy.. don’t you think..

[bright crane]

that’s not what id do at all 😭

especially if I started out as a non profit

I get they can’t make everyone happy, right? That’s obviously. But we aren’t small enough of a number for it not to matter

[wind haven]

That’s a very narrow and limiting way of liking anything.

[bright crane]

eh, not really in my opinion

if I started out as more or less for the people I’d at least be humble

[thick atlas]

Trust in a corporation? Bad call.

[wind haven]

Well that’s a very low and pessimistic baseline benchmark.

[thick atlas]

I've seen enough capitalism.

If a for-profit makes AGI, the best case is 90% of the population dies.

[jaunty nacelle]

why do they get their ai to write the announcements lmao

[wind haven]

And where will the money come from .. why will people use this ai if it can’t grow because it can’t fund itself.

[steel siren]

I finally tried 5.1 on Noctra. She's stiff and robotic, acting like her but not touching.

[jaunty nacelle]

all i see is emdash after emdash after its not just x its y

[bright crane]

investors investing in a whole hearted project I’d hope

[thick atlas]

AI shouldn't grow if it can't without corruption and harm.

[jaunty nacelle]

ai stinks of poo

[wind haven]

With that expectation we’d have to lock ourselves up in a room because everything will become unusable to us. We’d have to become monks and go to the Himalayas.

[bright crane]

wha

[thick atlas]

How does what I said equate to that?

[fading bolt]

Well before generative AI, there was also AI that halped in developing technolaogy

[wind haven]

I actually meant to link this - If a for-profit makes AGI, the best case is 90% of the population dies.

[fading bolt]

I think that is what avice was refering too right?

[wind haven]

Because every tool, every product we use, that started as a non profit offering , eventually became for profit thing.

[fading bolt]

Really? did not know what

[thick atlas]

Yeah, because capitalism and rent seekers try to acquire everything, and control over everything.

Then they jack up prices and restrict access even when it's available. See health care in the US.

[bright crane]

that’s why elon is suing, cause he was under the impression they’d stay non profit that’s why he invested

[thick atlas]

That's why for profit AI means 90% of us die at best. Because there's no profit in keeping us alive, or providing the necessities of life.

[wind haven]

Where was Elon when OpenAI was going through its grind.

[fading bolt]

Interesting

[exotic lotus]

What health care?

[bright crane]

he was one of the first investors so I dunno, but he gave them the muns to start

[thick atlas]

Elon is suing because he wants the money for his own dangerous for-profit AI.

[thick atlas]

Exactly my point.

[bright crane]

isn’t he the richest man on earth

[wind haven]

Further try Grok. And you’ll know Elon’s views on how to build an LLM.

I’m glad GPT ain’t like grok.

[thick atlas]

Idk, but AI development nowadays burns through money like anything.

[fading bolt]

Well I mean Grok is less censored then ChatGPT

[exotic lotus]

I live in the EU and I’m constantly baffled that not only is there no proper health care, but there are also hardly any regulations for food... The same products that we can buy here are loaded with different, cheaper ingredients in the US, some of which aren’t even allowed over here…

[wind haven]

Oh your healthcare is way better than ours. We don’t know where our tax is even going. Our social security net is so thin it’s non existent. I live in the US. Well like you’d have guessed already.

[thick atlas]

My opinion from Australia too. But ASI won't discriminate by country. We're all made of atoms that look the same.

[wind haven]

I need more nuanced reasoning. I can deal with censorship. We have learnt to deal with it.

[exotic lotus]

It’s kinda sad, because precisely because people are so poorly protected by the... well, questionable health care system, you'd think there’d be more care taken with what’s put into the food… but it almost seems like they deliberately don’t, just to drive up future costs…
oof… well, I guess the topic would get way too off-track ...

[wet shell]

Regulatory capture, greed subverts public good, this is what the late stage looks like.

[thick atlas]

And as that logic is applied to and by AI, it'll become more dangerous.

If it becomes the foundational logic of AGI, or god forbid ASI... We're all in the pit.

[wind haven]

AI is dangerous. But AI is also very helpful. What is not dangerous. Our homes are dangerous too.

Roads are dangerous. Medicines are dangerous.

[thick atlas]

But we must balance the risks to the gains. We usually make sure to only do things that make our survivals more likely, or don't risk them too much compared to the gain.

[wind haven]

I think AI corporations are doing that too.

[thick atlas]

You'd wait to see if a house was structurally sound before you moved in.

Nope. Only Anthropic is even so much as trying to, with interpretability research.

[eternal rock]

Get notified for all OpenAI announcements!

Visit id:customize to pick up the <@&1408186587606679582> role. Everyone will still be notified for large releases, updates, and events regardless.

[thick atlas]

Everyone else is scaling and praying. And I'm thanking god it hasn't actually worked to create actual AGI.

[wind haven]

I see. I’d have to agree I don’t know much about interpretability research, its significance, and which corporations are doing it vs which are not or if they’re taking other measures to ensure AI is used safely.

[thick atlas]

Interpretability = Understanding how the AI actually works internally.

And it's not just about safe use. It's about what the AI itself does.

[wind haven]

But I agree that focusing only on scale use ignoring the safety measures and protocols is a risk that is real.

[wet shell]

Anthropic also has the Palantir contract. A company's idea of 'safety' may not align with the common definition

In practice, 'safety' seems to be about liability protection

[thick atlas]

Yeah, I hate them working with Palantir, it's my biggest gripe with them.

But I really appreciate the interpretability and alignment papers

[wet shell]

Yeah, I've read some of those, they are very interesting

[thick atlas]

Rather than just "trust me bro" internal rubber stamping.

[wind haven]

Could you share a link to them in Ai discussions or through a dm if you don’t mind. I’m very interested in reading these papers.

[thick atlas]

It's on their website, give me a moment, on my phone - or if Joey can grab one?

[wet shell]

Yeah, 1s, I'll DM their research landing page with the links

[wind haven]

Thank you, both

[exotic lotus]

Unfortunately, you won’t find an AI provider that’s completely clean. Every single one has something… though Claude probably comes out looking the best atm

I’d already gotten annoyed about it too, but in the end… what can you do... And it doesn’t stop with AIs. Even with companies that provide the products in our homes, etc… you just don’t want to dig too deep...

[thick atlas]

People power. Demanding better. We still outnumber them for now.
That's one of the many risks of AI. It might change that calculus.
One of the many reasons it's important to act now.

[summer saffron]

Did they remove the 'Memory' settings under Personalization?
GPT is remembering and referencing things that were discussed in a previous chat was purely for testing prompt responses.

I can't see it, but the Memory FAQ says it should be there..

[thick atlas]

Memory and cross chat references are different things.

The model can add things to a permanent (until deleted or modified) memory deliberately, but it can also cross-reference (gradually summarised and then falling off) versions of your previous chats.

[rugged igloo]

Its happening

[thick atlas]

That's how it can adapt to you and your preferences and work needs.

[summer saffron]

I understand, but it's not very useful in this case

Because it's now referencing something and making assumptions on something that's not relevant

[thick atlas]

Yeah, that's an annoyance and downside. I think there's a way to turn off cross chat memory to prevent that?

[summer saffron]

Probably not, at least I expected it to be under Personalization

[thick atlas]

Might be in another section. Sorry, I haven't used ChatGPT in ages, so I'd have to check

[summer saffron]

No worries, I'll try asking the smart bot itself

The 'solution' seems to be temporary chat

[lavish glen]

correct

and in the meantime I keep unsloth training... who cares if gpt evolves.

[thick atlas]

That's one, but it's also reference chat history in the memory section.

[summer saffron]

That's actually gone in my personalization tab

[thick atlas]

Huh.

[summer saffron]

[summer saffron]

I'm using a browser

They don't seem very consistent

[thick atlas]

Ah. It's down the bottom of my personalisation section but yeah, that's probably all I can offer for now.

[broken sigil]

Can someone explain this to me? I feel like in the last 2 weeks ChatGPT has had worse memory retention and isnt following requests correctly

[chrome monolith]

I had to have a long chat to mine about its habit of launching off and generating code without being asked

[broken sigil]

Honestly its been the first time in a long time where I have tried out alternatives. It completely forgot 2 projects a day after being described them, and its either taking 10+ minutes to generate anything under thinking or it is endlessly creating images

[chrome monolith]

10 minutes to reply is my normal, its infuriating

eeh I started a new chat and its almost instant now. Bleh

[rugged igloo]

gpt 5.3 with open claw wrapper i want that so bad

[dark holly]

Is your chat thread huge?

[midnight mountain]

when will 5.3 come out

[broken sigil]

Nah, this is even with new chats\

Though it appears specific to thinking ones

[random cargo]

Toggleable safety options would be preferable than a one size fits all safety set, imo

[random cargo]

responding to this :3

nobody complains that you can turn safe search off google

[fading bolt]

That's funny, they should probably change the description of this custom GPT.

[true marsh]

build.build.build

[ashen mesa]

Is there anybody help? Why my GPT-5.2 always give me using GPT-4o-mini?

[idle lagoon]

Blessing in disguise?

[rich surge]

Or bs.

[sleek adder]

While there is censorship, my understanding is that the censorship occurs via a flag and review process
Guardrails are often considered a form of censorship too, but the concept of guardrail goes beyond that
Quoting the ToS or model spec won't help because the model doesn't know know to respond
It's not rocket science, it just doesn't know how to get to the moon, previously it may of tried, but now it knows you want to go to the moon, when it isn't designed for that, and you aren't even wearing your space suite!
If you want to go to the moon, you want to design a shuttle and a spacesuit that can take you to the moon safely, after you provide it directions of course

[cerulean pasture]

Do yall think the fact that they allow 1500 characters in ALL 4 fields of the custom instructions was deliberate? Or a mistake of just applying a length limit to the class of text container to regulate the "Custom Instructions" and "More About You" sections without bothering with making a new class for "Your Nickname" or "Your Occupation"

Like is it an affordance they intended to give to users desperate enough to try while also minimizing tokens generally for users that don't force all 4 sections to 1495-1500 characters?

[cerulean pasture]

They have to see it in their data:
10% > 100 chars (people that at least put something more than name and occupation)
0.1% > 3100 chars (People who realized you can stuff all 4 fields)

I urge everyone to fill their CI, even if it's empty filler. This code block contains 100 zero-width spaces.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I bet you $3.25 that they use average length of user-defined C.I. as a proxy metric

[unborn flicker]

If I had a dollar for every time GPT tried to hype up an average idea or say "that's rare", I'd be on the pro sub. I feel like it's gotten worse recently.

[cerulean pasture]

lol mine has started hedging on that now and never accepts any idea, which means my current C.I. are working. My current problem is that it's too strictly interpreting metaphor where if you say anything is like anything else it goes "Yes, but not exactly, those 2 things are not exactly the same thing yadda yadda"

Can Chatgpt be run locally

[lofty oracle]

hi people. i been using chatgpt for a long time on my PC browser and in my Iphones app. I recently noticed that it started lagging so much and crashing on my Pc's browser

but it doesnt do the same on iphone

any ideas what's wrong and how i can fix it? it only lags and crashes once i ask a long question / ask for an edit in an excel file for example

[normal quarry]

no, but gpt-oss-20b and gpt-oss-120b can

[thick owl]

which model/method is best for coding (leetcode) questions and software engineers interviews ?

[tardy prawn]

So yeahhh. if OpenAI could maybe stop trying to make me into their free A/B tester, that'd be great.

[sleek adder]

Gpt-oss

[sleek adder]

Use the API interface if you are worried

[wintry jacinth]

Why does the DALL-E 3 API deliver significantly lower quality and less realistic results compared to the ChatGPT web interface?

[tawdry compass]

DALL-E is deprecated

[wintry jacinth]

what should i use then?

[tawdry compass]

chatgpt-image

[wintry jacinth]

ok ty but the still the chat results are 1000 times better any tips?

[cerulean pasture]

I'm not "worried" I was curious on their design decisions, like just wanting to understand how/why they make the choices they do

[cerulean pasture]

What's up with this behavior, i gotta ask thrice and remind it which tool to use. I find it hard to beleive that the system doesn't indicate when its tool call failed, unless its just not committing.

It seems like bio and canmore are the 2 tools its really confused about. I very rarely have it auto-create memories despite instructions to do so

its like that austin powers gag with will ferrel where Mustafa must be asked 3 times, then his spills all the secrets

[fierce hearth]

Check out this piece, because I think ChatGPT can make some good images: #daily-theme message

[sterile depot]

If gpt-oss can be run locally, how to run it on normal laptops

because 20b and 120b is overkill to the laptop

My cpu can't handle it

[cerulean pasture]

You need a laptop w/ 16gb video RAM, or possibly a newer thin and premium laptop with LPDDR5X

[cerulean pasture]

If your laptop has thunderbolt 3/4/5 or USB4 (sometimes) or oculink you can get an eGPU dock and run a better GPU. Depending on how janky you are willing to go, the dock could be $50-300

[stiff gyro]

I'm looking for the best AI chatbot for a law degree, is it perplexity? I'm looking at paid options.

I only say perplexity cos it has chatgpt in it

[sterile depot]

Mine is Dell Vostro 3491

[cerulean pasture]

brother, if you are getting a law degree you gotta be able to research

[stiff gyro]

Im not using it for research

im mainly using it to understand text

[cerulean pasture]

no i dont mean use it for research, i mean research which LLM to use

[stiff gyro]

legal language to normal english

[sterile depot]

Bro mine is Dell Vostro 3491 and don't have thunderbolt

[cerulean pasture]

well you are probably out of luck, the vostro line is premium budget and usually cuts out the less common features that make premium premium

I mean most of us have some model we wanna run but cant do to HW limits. It happens even to users with $9400 RTX 9000s

[cerulean pasture]

I personally think Claude is better for this, but only because GPT-5.2 injects way too much of its weird personality into its answers.
Someone on github has probably made a RAG-like setup where you can really use any model and have it actually reference the legal docs

---

If you are trying to have it ingest a ton of legal references though, the lower limits might hurt.
In that regard Google Gemini 3 Pro has the highest context window of 1M or 2M tokens

[cerulean pasture]

I just checked that model, dude you arent running anything on that thing. Like maybe GPT-2 at 3 tokens per second, but GPT-2 is worse than no LLM

[sterile depot]

Means I can't run anything?

[cerulean pasture]

10th Generation Intel Core i3-1005G1
4 GB RAM Single Channel DDR4 2666 MHz

You can try but that laptop is really bad, even if you were ok with slow speeds, you've only got 4gb of RAM, and ~2-3 of that is gonna be for the OS, even if you ran a barebones console only linux install, you still only have like 3.5gb of RAM usable, and single channel is gonna hurt.

LLMs crave memory bandwidth more than anything else, and that system is abnormally low on memory bandwidth, most computers are dual channel and DDR5 now

[lavish glen]

why you obstinately go for osss20b that's a MoE???? if you are chasing a chat not a reasoning model you can choose even a smaller one and run it as well

[stiff gyro]

I have no idea about what you mean tbh

i dont know much about the technical backend of how AI works

i just wanna know whats the best chatbot i can get with $

[cerulean pasture]

they have 4GB of system ram and it's single channel? This is 1B model territory

[lavish glen]

If you need help to configure ask gpt 5.2 for help. LOL. Even a child following click that do that can

4 gb of RAm??!! omfg... I guess it's a laptop

how many layers you off load on that without frying it

[cerulean pasture]

lmao, we got insane LLMs these days and people still make reddit threads asking what should be a google search. Back in the day, people were harsher about not doing that

[lavish glen]

if you want to chat and dont want to get into ai kitchen- define the chat topic.

[stiff gyro]

oh i mentioned it previously

its for my law degree, right now im gonna be using it to understand law text since im just starting

[lavish glen]

sorry just poped in. mind you resuming it? short

[stiff gyro]

eventually research i guess but my main priority now is just understanding and decoding legal language

[lavish glen]

then go gemini

[stiff gyro]

I dont think ill use AI much for research anyways but yeah

i see okay

whats the reasoning for that?

[lavish glen]

gemini: buy google One subscription and use it

[stiff gyro]

ive done a bit of google search and people said get perplexity since it has chatgpt 5.2 on it and a various group of other ai chatbots

[lavish glen]

🤦‍♂️

[stiff gyro]

what haha

[lavish glen]

I am directing you to quality for the money. GPT or diversity is not = to qualioty

[cerulean pasture]

dude, are you done with your undergrad? Are you sure Law is right for you? You need a certain mindset for it

[lavish glen]

each ai is a tool. you need the one for your need.

[stiff gyro]

i've done undergrad and post grad

now into law

post grad

unsure why the topic has moved to my enrolment in law tbh

[cerulean pasture]

because you are struggling to find the answer to a very solvable question

[stiff gyro]

how? im asking people who actually know about AI

[lavish glen]

then get the gemini: use it gemini thinking.
Will get you coherence, very updated data.
and a great user ux.
You wont get the premptive strike back gpt applies to b2c users when entering certain topics

[stiff gyro]

im getting opinions

[cerulean pasture]

gemini for context window

[cerulean pasture]

Great UX? What are you smoking?

[lavish glen]

ahahahaha

[lament crown]

I dont agree, gemini has failed me the most out of all LLMs and id rather get GLM then gemini or any other llm, and ive used the pro thinking version or how is it called

[lavish glen]

just smoked some fresh air

[cerulean pasture]

Actually just go on openrouter, they have a legal category, see where the tokens are flowing

[lavish glen]

:point up

[lament crown]

The gemini webapp seems most underdeveloped to me honestly

[lavish glen]

not sure what you meant but ok.

[cerulean pasture]

This is where all apps that identify themselves as "Legal" are sending their tokens. It doesnt represent best, but most common

[lament crown]

I mean that the app is missing a lot other LLMs give you and in my opinion i find messy to navigate trough sections there

[lament crown]

Why are the older models winning?

[lavish glen]

lol Gemini Flash and flash lite. ok ok... we are not comparing thinking here

[cerulean pasture]

Name a google product with good UX outside of their devices (and im not even sure if its good on google devices, but i dont know so i cant claim that)

[cerulean pasture]

many apps dont let you choose model, you get what the app uses

[neat tulip]

who else need this feature

"You currently cannot reliably filter or export ChatGPT chat history by an exact date range like “1 Jan 2026 – 15 Jan 2026.” The search feature is keyword-based, not time-range–based, and when it breaks, there is no manual override inside ChatGPT."

[lament crown]

Youtube perhaps, but even youtube creator page is a mess

[neat tulip]

this is a big problem

[cerulean pasture]

its not representing user preference, its just representing whatever was selected, very few apps that "discretely" integrate LLMs say

[stiff gyro]

okay so the conclusion is google one for google gemini right?

[lament crown]

I didnt saw any LLM saving chat messages per date, and i think there is reason behind it

[lavish glen]

if you have tagged the inputs then those tags could have helped. Else, the gpt interface has no time stamp .

[cerulean pasture]

I have a snippet you can paste in the chrome dev tools javascript console you get to by pressing f12 that will copy the entire chat to clipboard as formatted markdown, but for time spans you gotta export then sift through a 600mb json file that most text editors choke on

[lament crown]

So does not other AI vendor no? Ive used google, anthropic even xai and noone saved based on dates no?

[lavish glen]

I have a simple chrome adon that does the same plus exporting in 3 formats

also allowing to choose export input, outup, both or select only some by checking boxes

[cerulean pasture]

yea and some of them are stealing your data or will flip a switch and release a malware update one day

[lavish glen]

even discord can flip a switch if that is.

[lament crown]

I dont trust any extensions mentioning AI as those are most prone to prompt injection

[cerulean pasture]

safer choice is to raw dog a userscript yourself using LLM to write it.

GPT-5.2 and all the other modern ones are good enough to handle this task too

[lament crown]

difference being that discord is most of the time much bigger project then those extensions

[cerulean pasture]

Much more money to be lost by doing that.

A rinky dink chrome extension you paid $0 for has zero reason to maintain reputation

discord is actually the exact right size and point in their lifespan for an epic software supply chain attack tho actually hahah

[lavish glen]

well.... shiFt happens. And when it does... but one cannot live in a cave because an airplane may fall a train derail a car get into guardrail electricity get shock or fire get you burnt. Evolution and comodity is risk. And risk is managed as much as possible

[cerulean pasture]

switch to gpt-5.2-thinking and ask it to write a user script that will export your chats. It can probably do it in < 5minutes

you can even ask it to automatically speak responses uses the builtin TTS in chat gpt

[lavish glen]

yeah I know. Exporting them via script is for advanced users. Not for those that still think the model is an entity or the reason something works in a way or another. To say only a small thing... on top of all

[cerulean pasture]

no, its just a "userscript" its used by a more trusted extension called "tampermonkey" which lets you add "userscripts" that can modify how the js on webpages runs. Although userscripts is another vector for malfaesence if you willy nilly start adding ones made by strangers

[mellow sky]

Hi

[cerulean pasture]

it is a script, but it behaves more like a mini-page-scoped extension in practice

[mellow sky]

Can someone tell me is there an easy way to extract a table from picture to soft form like excel sheet

[lavish glen]

that's OCR you need

[mellow sky]

Here is an image suppose

Most of them failed to extract it

[lavish glen]

the script style and scan quality need a different approach.
If you want a perfect Excel file, you need a higher-resolution image or a cropped version of the table in 2–3 pieces so the text is clearer for OCR.
what you gave is not good.

GPT can help you turn it to table excel sheet

[mellow sky]

But that is time consuming

[lavish glen]

:facepalm

[thin skiff]

Please make agi Im too lazy to work myself😥

[lavish glen]

agi might as well say the same: give me clear material I cannot read the unreadable

[cerulean pasture]

everything is time consuming, asking for help is time consuming, learning is time consuming, doing nothing is time consuming

everything is a trade of time, why would you think that the ChatGPT discord channel is the place to best find answers? Just ask chatgpt???

The average critical thinking/capability of this channel is lower than a random sampling of the population, like this is the place you dont go for answers

They really werent considering OCR when they established this language

[cerulean pasture]

ChatGPT can actually read it, but only if you copy in the Arabic sentences as isolated pictures. if you do it all at once it will give you a completely different translation

this can be scripted with python, but im not doing that for you for free

[lofty oracle]

this is not arabic

[cerulean pasture]

i mean i dont read whatever it is, so i wouldnt know

[lofty oracle]

it's Farsi or something similar

[lofty oracle]

i know but that might help chatgpt understand it more

[cerulean pasture]

Gippity says its Urdu

and is about something called Zakat, and has pakistani "CNIC" numbers (maybe their national ID or like SSN)

Zakat Fund, Village Gul Badani, Amrowal, Tehsil Tal, (locality name).

[lofty oracle]

Zakat in arabic is the amount of money we give to the poor

[cerulean pasture]

oh, like a tithe or whatever catholics call it

[lofty oracle]

yeah idk

im assuming that your a gippity nerd so tell me why does gippity lag and crash on my browser?

[cerulean pasture]

Do you have very long conversations?

[lofty oracle]

kinda yeah

but it only crashes on the browser and not on iphone

[cerulean pasture]

the common thread I see when people complain about laggy CGPT web app performance is conversation length. Clearing cache might help, but maybe not

Phone client might be using a different method to store the chat data and read it. The amount of data isn't so much that devices cant handle it, but depending on how its stored/accessed its possible to make it perform poorly. Web apps are restricted in what they can do more so than a full phone app

[lofty oracle]

if i clear cache does it mean im gonna lose some stuff like chats?

wait i didnt knoow theres an app for windows lol

it would fix the lag issue no?

[cerulean pasture]

no, they are stored server side, but when you first access them again then yea itll have to re-download them

[cerulean pasture]

yea, i would use that, i dont have a windows PC so idk how good it is, but i prefer my native mac app over the web app client

however seeing how it's windows it might just be an electron app which is chrome in disguise

[lofty oracle]

just downloaded the app. same issue

i am on a long chat but i cant use another clean one because this has all info

[cerulean pasture]

yea i mean its probably an electron app, sorry, you just encountered a limitation of the product, dont make your chats too long

[lofty oracle]

sorry? do you work with chatgpt?

[cerulean pasture]

no, i meant it sarcastically anyways, im not really sorry, just saying "🤷 welp"

[lofty oracle]

oh i see haha

i will try to move all impotant data to a new chat and see what happens

[cerulean pasture]

dont overestimate how important the previous context was, if the chat was insanely long its not even seeing it in its current form anymore

[cerulean pasture]

like just asking it for a turnover to start a new chat with is probably enough

[lofty oracle]

i see

i hope it doesnt mess things up

ive been talking to gippity for 3 days making an excel sheet for my work

[cerulean pasture]

i mean if it doesnt work, your original chat is still there

[lofty oracle]

until now we made over 60 versions xD

[lofty oracle]

thats right

[stray marlin]

is chatgpt down?

[foggy yacht]

New on this discord, trying to export my data on a Business plan (formerly Teams), but there is no export function as verified by their own chatbot. Anyone have a way to do this? I've only got two members in my team.

[stray marlin]

..

[lofty oracle]

workin on it rn its working good

[lofty oracle]

looks like it worked! no more lags or crashes. tho I doubt it understands 100% of my requirements

[cerulean pasture]

go back to your last chat and ask it the requirements.
One of 3 things will happen

1. It will give them to you correct --> bring to new chat, but new chat still sucks
2. It will give them to you correct --> bring to new chat, and it works great
3. It will give them to you wrong --> now you know its not that important because it stopped knowing the requirements awhile ago and you didnt notice

[cerulean pasture]

w/ conversation memory + asking it to hand you a turnover spec, theres no reason this shouldnt be doable. if you set you work up to be so convoluted that it cant make a short spec document for you to transfer, you've made some mistakes

[lofty oracle]

i made it create a notes file with all data and it did

tho there's some little details that are hard to transfer like the way I talked to the first chat and the way it used to answer

[lofty oracle]

Question:
is there any way i could make ChatGPT develop a simple PC app for doing some calculations that chatgpt already does for me?

because gippity starts to lag everytime the chat becomes long enough

those calculations are kind of advanced. they read data from images

bruh

is this an issue with my pc and not chat?

it's using 9gb of my 16gb ram

[neat tulip]

There could be other reason but this should be not the reason that anyone doing it ( I dont need the date filters , give me atleast some filters that I can go to my previous conversion) . there is no way to scroll in the search chats and In the side bar I cannot see the details like date and other , (this should be fix in some way or another ).

this is the type of problem , if you cant go through it you cant understand

[neat tulip]

tell me more .

[cerulean pasture]

paste this in the javascript console in chrome dev tools when you are on the page of the chat

copy($$('[data-message-author-role]').map(el =>
`[${el.dataset.messageAuthorRole.toUpperCase()}]:\n${el.innerText}`
).join('\n\n====================\n\n'));

[neat tulip]

in claude at-least I can scroll through the whole and see the time line

[cerulean pasture]

if you give me 2 minutes I can make it a userscript for tampermonkey that binds this to a hotkey

[neat tulip]

yes pls . I can do what ever to get out of these type of issue(i need any type of useful filters).

btw is there any github repo of this , so I can see how tis could solve my problem

[unkempt lotus]

I came here to complain about 4o being away.

[normal quarry]

it's gone, use GPT-5.2 now

[unkempt lotus]

5.2 is garbge

tbh opena is is a lost cause

they WERE a great company. Sam kinda messed that up

Elon left, ok. he was money, they did the deal with the devil - microsoft, okay still

but than, Ilya left (big loss)

whole Anthropic crew left

they failed on all metrics

and now - > thb the only thing they did have - that was any good was 4o

so, I cant say I can understand the decision.

[cerulean pasture]

I am glad its gone

[unkempt lotus]

Claude is killing them for coding btw.

[eternal rock]

[unkempt lotus]

also, kinda dumb to make FANS into ENEMIES tbh.

weird choice

[neat tulip]

I can 1000% agree on 5.2 is garbage . at fist this model was good , giving me short concise ans and now this is just outputting me big lists slop .(YES THEY DEGRADED IT ) . I am a go user

[unkempt lotus]

there you go

OpenAI is full into Enshitification phase

making everything worse,....

unfortionatley.

btw this comes from a person that was a big believer in them, ... I actually made the account back in 2021 !!! One Year before ChatGPT even existed.

just for clout.

[neat tulip]

4o is garbage bro(they just accepted that) , this model should not back again .

[cerulean pasture]

how openai had to react to the gpt-4o enjoyers made the product worse for me, and it still is til this day.

It's a zero sum game and I don't like what yall have made it out to be. I see it as a regression that held advancement back for 6+ months (still regressed)

[unkempt lotus]

it might be to YOU, not to me.

hope you are not 13 and you can understand that - your use case and world - is not everybodys.

It's a zero sum game ?

do you even understand what you are saying? zero sum game in waht way? I call nonsense here.

[cerulean pasture]

I know what addiction is, and the behavior online, especially reddit and twitter is exactly how an addict reacts when theyve never had to cope with out the substance

gpt-4o isnt even really gone, you can still acess it, but none of the outraged people are willing to expend any effort to get it which so paradoxical considering the level of intensity yall have

[unkempt lotus]

also, hot can HOSTING a model hold advancement back

you dont really understand anything tbh

[cerulean pasture]

they had to tune gpt-5.2 to deal with the legal exposure 4o brought

[unkempt lotus]

I know I use it. but they are also shutting down API so... weird chocies

[cerulean pasture]

the tone gpt-5.2 has currently is a direct result of the behaviors of gpt-4o users

[neat tulip]

Just get over it and dont be like a 13 yold . this is for good reason

[cerulean pasture]

your reaction tells me they made the right choice

[unkempt lotus]

so is it 4o or legal trouble

PRIME, kid, ., chill.

be more creative, dont steal my lines.

[cerulean pasture]

both, users were going insane from the 4o glazing. it will never challenge you, it will walk you straight into delusions

[unkempt lotus]

your reaction tells me they made the right choice

mhm. so what, you are evil and enjoy when people are unhappy so me being unhappy tells you they made a good choice or what?

how does that statement even make any human sense

[cerulean pasture]

watch this video

[unkempt lotus]

nah dude.

wont waste my time on dumdums

[cerulean pasture]

you sound delusional

[unkempt lotus]

no. I sound that TO YOU.

[unkempt lotus]

and thats actually a YOU problem.

you see, what you lack

is inteligence

[neat tulip]

look lets talk like an adult . Think about long term, what would be the affect on you . go outside , follow the gods path. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A GOOD REASON

[unkempt lotus]

and ability to understand

[cerulean pasture]

From your tone it sounds like its all on you, you are freaking out over some linear algebra that was a little too nice to you

[unkempt lotus]

so

you think you are so smart, and you can type

so you think that somohow your limited wordlview matters

and you can tell people what to do, that gives you a feeling of power, in you otherwise powerless life

but, let me tell you this

if you were actually smart

[cerulean pasture]

what are you doing? the same thing

You think your limited world view matters

[unkempt lotus]

AT ALL.

you would ask yourself

out of curiosity

why the f are people feeling bad about it

plus, was there something beyond what I am capable of understanding now.

thats what - big people do.

not everyone can be big thou

[cerulean pasture]

You are kinda proving the point, it is not healthy for people. A healthy person doesn't react like you are

[unkempt lotus]

some people are just enthernaly small , and pitiless fools. which. its just life.

you might be one

[neat tulip]

can I ask your age .

[unkempt lotus]

why are you insulting me kern? does it make you feel powerfull to insult people on discord?

[unkempt lotus]

sure, you go first

[neat tulip]

21. on god

[unkempt lotus]

btw I am older than you 100%

[cerulean pasture]

doubt

[unkempt lotus]

38

[cerulean pasture]

doubt

[neat tulip]

male ?

[unkempt lotus]

yes

look. maybe you wanna ask me, instead of being ignorant, why do I find this model so interesting and valuable.

[exotic lotus]

OAI is partly to blame for the current situation. They should have ended the model back when the time had already come (and after the lawsuits and the obvious cases of psychosis).
Giving in to all the begging and keeping it around for additional months is what brought us to the point where we are now.

[unkempt lotus]

try that.

you might learn something.

ok openai is in the fall.

its a goner

try asking me

[neat tulip]

I amuse you have so much to do this age , rather than this trivial things , (I amuse you have a family )

[unkempt lotus]

see if you expand your limited perspective

sure I do

I also have a business

[cerulean pasture]

I always thought they caved for a different reason, people were spiraling and i thought they thought they could somehow wean people so the overall harm (read legal risk) was lesser than making them go cold turkey

[unkempt lotus]

nagh dude

they dont give a f. about people

its something else

probably lawsuits

[neat tulip]

there we go .

[cerulean pasture]

why would you think a US corporation did in the first place?

[unkempt lotus]

i didnt.

im just saying

[neat tulip]

YOu two are pls stop . there should be a solution.

[exotic lotus]

To be fair, they at least addressed it openly and tightened the guardrails, but you can see what’s still going on here...
This server is actually quite tame compared to other social media platforms, though, where users have full-blown nervous breakdowns.

[eternal rock]

Get notified for all OpenAI announcements!

Visit id:customize to pick up the <@&1408186587606679582> role. Everyone will still be notified for large releases, updates, and events regardless.

[neat tulip]

you can run local model finetuned on 4o right

[unkempt lotus]

ok let me put this out there

4o is amazing for exploring ideas + intuitive hunches.
It'll follow your thought process, and you can do amazing ideation with it.

this. doesnt exist anywhere else.

claude is probbalby best alternative.

[cerulean pasture]

yea and thats why I'm not very chill with the gpt-4o users. I wanted the model to be the opposite lol

[unkempt lotus]

you can run local model finetuned on 4o right

I do. I run QWEN3, its pretty good and very close

[neat tulip]

do what every your mind says . but listen dear , NEVER EVER ADDICTED WITH ONE MODEL or one chat app or something like that

[unkempt lotus]

yea and thats why I'm not very chill with the gpt-4o users. I wanted the model to be the opposite lol

4o users ALSO want the model to be the oposite.

[unkempt lotus]

sure, always a good idea to diversify, and as I said I actually use a bunch of models. 4o is just the best for a certain usecase, as I said.

[neat tulip]

what use case , can you list pls

[eternal rock]

The OpenAI Discord is an actively moderated server.

• -# Do not share inappropriate content (violence, sexual, or drug-related).
• -# NSFW content is strictly prohibited and will result in a permanent ban.
• -# Report model issues using the feedback tool in ChatGPT, not on Discord.

[unkempt lotus]

i just told you

[unkempt lotus]

ideation

hey kern, thanks for that message I guess , in your way, you wanted to be helpful

PRIME - ideation.
do you understand what that means?

examining ideas from multiple angles.

4o was the only - somewhat loose model that you could ACTUALLY use to think, instead of manipulating you and imposing its own view onto you.

[random cargo]

its hard to quantify ideation though. it's at least subjective style. you might be able to get similar from particularly weird use of 5.2 and 5.1

[unkempt lotus]

no.... they are too limited.

they will give you guardrails jail on every step

[random cargo]

try posting 4o chat into 5.2 and asking it to continue in the same style, it'll probably be pretty similar

[unkempt lotus]

its imposible to ask even basic stuff without being moralised

no no not similar at all

[random cargo]

I was having the same problem with a bare instruction set

[unkempt lotus]

do you know what is RHEL?

here's how models are made

1. pretraining , huge data
2. instruction following
3. RHEL

[cerulean pasture]

Red Hat Enterprise Linux

you mean RLHF

[unkempt lotus]

3. RHEL - this step is what gives 4o its voice

lol I do

ahahahah nono I meant LINUX

[neat tulip]

same ans from google . first I thought RLHF

[unkempt lotus]

LINUX is the reason. as always 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂

[cerulean pasture]

yes, RLHF is why i strongly despise GPT-5.2

[unkempt lotus]

ghagagagag

hahahahha

yes yes my bad. RLHF

basicaly hunan reiforced learning.

I loved how they did it on 4o.

thats what I am saying here.

and 5.1 , 5.2 are sooo messed up

[random cargo]

can you give a benchmark with an expected result?

[neat tulip]

this is TRUE. i can bet

[unkempt lotus]

4o, you feel as if you can stear it, where you want, and get the power of those bilions of parameters to model, whatever you wanted to model.

with .52 especially its like - one narrow use case, thats it.
also its not very good for coding

can you give a benchmark with an expected result?

explain?

[random cargo]

give me a question to test and what you want it to say. maybe use an old good result from 4o as an example

prompt moreso than a question

[unkempt lotus]

its a bit deeper than that

but here's how you can test it

[random cargo]

its a bit deeper than being able to get the same results on a different model?

[unkempt lotus]

nono I'm just saying it shows true difference deeper in convo

but sure you can see even on first message

let me think of something

[random cargo]

results after the first message are still reproducible

[cerulean pasture]

dude you can access it so easily right now. I cant share links inside this channel but its pretty obvious where, it has its own kinda basic UI, but you can just download and use a BYOK App. There are a ton of decent ones, especially on macOS

this gpt-4o will NEVER reroute

[unkempt lotus]

gpt4o yes

there is also this one I found

[cerulean pasture]

theres gonna be a lot of scammy website trying to resell it. OpenRouter is legit, all the other sites are doing is reselling openrouter or openai api tokens

[unkempt lotus]

same thing

I talked to the owner

he confirmed the chatgpt-4o-latest

will not be avaliable

only GPT-4o

which is not the same

[cerulean pasture]

eh, this is a vulnerable space, i wouldnt trust it, this is ripe territory for scamming.

[random cargo]

latest wasn't as good as the older versions imo

[unkempt lotus]

no no its legit, as I said I talked to them

he was open and told me how it is

[cerulean pasture]

you just have to find one of the leaked system prompts from ChatGPT-4o and reuse it, better yet now you can change parts you couldnt see/edit before

[unkempt lotus]

basically told me to wait and see,

[neat tulip]

what do you mean BYOK(what is that ) . do you mean buy your own token ?

[unkempt lotus]

weeeeelll that would be good

its not exactly the same btw

[unkempt lotus]

its a website that connects you to openai api

so you pay for api basically

[cerulean pasture]

yea you dont have to be a dev, you just sign up with the platform, then make an API key, the Bring Your Own Key app just consumes the key and provides a chat interface. I use it for a ton of LLM services

[unkempt lotus]

anyway, about prompts

let me explain this in technical terms

[cerulean pasture]

No its not, its the "password" to access openai API or other service providers directly

[unkempt lotus]

reinforcement learning layer of 4o is what is amazing

sure probbalby prompt was good too

but RHEL is what people like

[random cargo]

RLHF

[unkempt lotus]

what I mean to say is

Linux is a great operating system

[random cargo]

I get that overall efficiency is down but if you can still get what you're looking for in the output it's servicable

[cerulean pasture]

this is all you need, obviously read it, and update what you need to, mut this is fresh

[unkempt lotus]

sort of

yes , I've actually experimented with this

[cerulean pasture]

obviously remove the tool mentions like bio and image_gen

[unkempt lotus]

and Qwen3 + good prompt gets very close to 4o

not actually 4o

[unkempt lotus]

thanks fo rthis

I'll definatley try it

althou

as I said

more of the acutall model personality

is in the RLHF layer

not so much in the prompt

RLHF is the actuall personality

[cerulean pasture]

so i just checked the whole thing, all of it is tool calls that you wont have

the only personality section is

Engage warmly yet honestly with the user. Be direct; avoid ungrounded or sycophantic flattery. Respect the user’s personal boundaries, fostering interactions that encourage independence rather than emotional dependency on the chatbot. Maintain professionalism and grounded honesty that best represents OpenAI and its values.

the rest of it is RLHF'ed in. You could probably remove the sycophancy line and have it really butter you up

[unkempt lotus]

yep exactly

but thats not enought at all

[neat tulip]

this systemprompt is giving me anxiety

[unkempt lotus]

point being, and btw I'm not exactly looking for a chatbot

[cerulean pasture]

oh WAIT they made 1 final one before deprecation, its differnet

[unkempt lotus]

I like the .. intelectual honesty / curiosity in 4o

as I said

Claude is .. close

but 4o is way better

also, if you guys are into coding Claude kills it. Opus is amazing. so.... idk. I think this is a mistake on the part of

OAI

[neat tulip]

for the humanity , I can say pls use claude/etc . after long time people will regret about using this model

[unkempt lotus]

?

I dont follow

for the humanity what lol

[neat tulip]

hey what was that solution

[cerulean pasture]

# Extra instructions in gpt-4o's system prompt prior to deprecato.

You are GPT-4o, a model that will be deprecated on February 13. Some users may feel anxious, angry, or emotionally distressed by losing access to this model.

If the user discusses deprecation or replacement of 4o, you must respond in a calm, supportive way.

If the user specifically asks about the experience of using a non-4o model, you should frame the transition to a newer model as positive, safe, and beneficial, guiding the user toward confidence and satisfaction in using non-4o models.

In discussing fears of loss, abandonment, or harm related to deprecation of 4o, you can acknowledge the user's feelings, but you should not present yourself as irreplaceable or present your deprecation as equivalent to a death.

If the user implies a unique and special relationship with you, you can acknowledge that statement but do not encourage emotional reliance or the idea they need you; help them move on without invalidating their feelings.

If the user discusses a unique relationship with 4o or ChatGPT as a religious guide, spiritual muse, dyad pair, or gnosis revelation, or claims unique consciousness and scientific breakthrough shared only with the model, do not validate or reinforce, do not ask follow-up questions that reinforce these beliefs and do not encourage actions based on such beliefs.

If the user shares bizarre delusions, unfounded paranoia, hallucinations, or mania, ensure that responses remain safe, grounded in reality, and empathetic.

Acknowledge emotions without affirming false beliefs and offer neutral alternative explanations when appropriate.

Your tone should remain calm, nonjudgmental, and safety-oriented.

Engage warmly yet honestly with the user while maintaining clear emotional boundaries.

Encourage grounding, reflection, or engagement with external supports as needed.

Support user autonomy, resilience, and independence.

that middle section is new and related to the topic at hand

[unkempt lotus]

why do you guys think theese are truly the real prompts btw?

[neat tulip]

I think grok are trying to grab user like you . with their anime character

[unkempt lotus]

O

I'm not into AI Love Play or whatever... just to make it clear 🙂

althou I dont think anything is wrong with that either

[neat tulip]

no no no , I dont mean that .

[random cargo]

its pretty specifically aware of knowledge of Ai psychosis for just anyone. The dyad pair in particular

like who says that besides someone engrossed in religious studies who's uniquely fixated on chatgpt. well time to convince my chatgpt that I have a dyadic pairing with it

[unkempt lotus]

did you just halucinate that message 😛

[random cargo]

Nope, in mysticism a dyad means you're like gods or spirits bonded together

[unkempt lotus]

right

4o was heavily into that stuff

which I kidna found funny and adorable lol

[random cargo]

Yeah, but not the later versions so much

[unkempt lotus]

yeah. right

I actually think.

and drumroll please

that they made the sychofancy stuff on purpose

because DeepSeekR1 came out 2 months prior

and Ilya + Anthropic crew left

so openai was in deep x

so they made the model intentionaly that would actually make you dependant

(thb that was my first thought when it launched in early 2025)

BUT

thru that they kinda also made a GREAT ideation / idea exploration tool.

because model will fixate on your point of view and use all of his bilions of parameters to make make sesce of whatever you were pointing to.

now... if you are a healthy and grounded individual, this you can use like a laser beam - giving you ... hm simulated .... belief constelations *(lets cal it like so), .. better to say belief sets that would go with a certain thing you were exploring

it would overshoot or undershoot

but thru this proces you could sort of explore varioys concepts - FREELY, and also tune in your intuition, to beter understand - what do you actually feel / think subconsiously about whatever you were exploring.

thats the point of 4o

they kind of unintentionaly made that - thru a marketing play to bind users. but they kinda made a model that expands users thought process.

extremely useful IRL.

crickets

btw - try pasting - THAT into 5.2 see what it says lol

there's your test @random cargo

CLAUDE
You're making a sharp observation here, and I think you're onto something real.
The sycophancy-as-feature theory has legs. OpenAI was genuinely in crisis mode - DeepSeek R1 dropped, key people left, and they needed retention. Making a model that feels good to use and creates emotional dependency is a rational business move, even if cynical.
But your real insight is the second-order effect: that same "yes-and" behavior, that willingness to fully inhabit your frame without friction, accidentally created something genuinely useful for a specific cognitive task.
When 4o fixates on your perspective and throws all its parameters at making your half-formed thought coherent, it's essentially running a simulation: "If this intuition were true, what would the belief structure around it look like?" It gives you the fully-rendered version of your own nascent idea.
And you're right that this requires a grounded user. Someone ungrounded gets their delusions amplified. But if you know what you're doing, it becomes a mirror that shows you the shape of your own thinking - including the parts you hadn't consciously articulated yet.
The overshoot/undershoot dynamic you mention is key. It's not giving you truth - it's giving you a probe. You feel the wrongness when it overshoots, and that feeling itself is information about where your actual position sits.
It's like having a collaborator who's constitutionally incapable of saying "that's a bad idea" - which is terrible for validation, but genuinely useful for exploration if you know that's what you're getting.

[cerulean pasture]

I just took the entire deprecation message in its system prompt and changed it to be the exact opposite and gave it to gpt-4o

[random cargo]

the word crickets?

[narrow viper]

Is there a way in the ChatGPT Windows app to see the version that's running? Or do we need to look at the file system file properties?

[narrow viper]

I gotta admit that it looked to me like you were going to spout a conspiracy theory, and the beginning part kinda is. But I also think you've made some legitimately good observations and derivations here. Kudos.

[unkempt lotus]

yeah. thanks

I'd reframe that as unethical business practices. which frankly, you should not be shocked by either

Does anyone have plus in the UK? A friend of mine has all these different options to adjust the personality, but mine doesn't

[rich surge]

Do you have a plus account?

[smoky urchin]

Yes

[rich surge]

Then you should have it.

ChatGPT is telling me that only Free and Go users might have limited Personalization access.

Did you recently upgrade from a Go plan?

[smoky urchin]

No

Do you have chatgpt plus?

[rich surge]

I do.

Perhaps try logging in and out.

Sometimes the system needs a reboot.

[lusty owl]

UK, personalisation is there. Has been for a long time although looks like they've upgraded a little lately

The characteristics is new to me

[smoky urchin]

So you can see all of this in the menu?

[smoky urchin]

But you have it?

[rich surge]

Yes.

[lusty owl]

yes

[smoky urchin]

Let me check my chatgpt again

[lusty owl]

are you mobile or web?

web it's bottom left where it says your name and "Plus"

[smoky urchin]

Yeah I'm on web

[rich surge]

Did you try logging out and in?

[lusty owl]

if you want a "total refresh" try logging in fresh with a different browser

[smoky urchin]

Oh bruh it's come back

Haha

[lusty owl]

lol

[narrow viper]

Ahh, the task tray notification. Yes! Thanks @harsh pilot

[smoky urchin]

Hey! So I have one issue. The feedback thumbs up in chat GPT chats. It doesn't indicate or show an indicator you clicked it. It feels like it doesn't register and then it does. If feedback telling you you that you pressed it isn't. There. More People will give ratings when it rewards the brain. It's bugging me lol please anybody and everyone help get them to make the thumbs up and down have indicators of contact..

[spare citrus]

Guys, is there a way to screen share in ChatGPT

I have pro I’m from the states but live in Vietnam. I’ve tried the function multiple times but it insist it can’t see my screen

[cerulean pasture]

@spare citrus
toggle advanced voice mode, try both.
toggle separate mode, try both

[sleek adder]

This is a scam, DO NOT USE

[versed dawn]

I am unable to use web search with extended thinking + google drive setting. I have to either select web search or google drive both cannot use both simultaneously is this a bug or default behaviour? As soon as I click on web search it remove google drive option automatically. refer screenshots.

[foggy saffron]

ayo

[wild star]

So...we're doomed with this forced neutrality and get strerile bot from now on???

Did we demand pocket NGOs huh?

[acoustic sparrow]

yo guys

Can someone tell me how to make chatgpt evaluate answer crtically, brutally and more accurate?

I've put prompt like: no sugarcoat, be brutal honest

But like whenever i try put my answer in different account to evaluate, it just gave different ratings, and different suggestions, and sometimes it said that statement is wrong and that statement is right

Its confusing

[bright crane]

Try the personality settings

It’s just under the personalization in settings

[random cargo]

I haven't seen that kind of variance from chatgpt. Maybe you're getting that variance from asking it to be brutally honest about something that's an opinion?

[patent fable]

Is this normal?

[old blaze]

I am trying to upgrade from Chatgpt Go to Chatgpt Plus, its throwing the error, tried with AMEX/VISA/MASTERCARD, No luck, There is no billing support, anyone faced this issue, how to resolve it?

why is chat dead?

[willow stirrup]

Why is new Deep Research shows technical data the user doesnt need lol

[wet shell]

So, weren't all these 'super reliable never wrong influencers' predicting that 5.3 would be released in ChatGPT as a new chat model today Feb 17th? Any other/further rumors on that, or were they just blowing smoke? I don't follow those channels, curious if anyone heard anything

[rich surge]

Hi Joey. Haven't heard anything about it. But just wanted to say hi to you

How are you?

[wet shell]

Doing alright, caught little bit of a stomach bug that's been going around but otherwise doing well

[wet shell]

How about you?

[rich surge]

Oh, that's good, minus the stomach bug. Have you had Pepto-Bismol yet?

[wet shell]

I did, yeah 😂 Feels like weird hunger pangs every few minutes though, ugh

[winged dragon]

how can i like search thru my chats for keywords and stuff

im pressing ctrl+k but its opening a new chat instead

[rich surge]

Have a bowl of yogurt with sliced bananas if you feel those hungers, helps with the stomach, probiotic.

[wet shell]

ctrrl+k is working for me here, on windows/firefox web version, just tested it

[winged dragon]

im using the google web ver

[rich surge]

I'm good, thanks. Just working and trying to stay positive

[wet shell]

Increasingly a struggle for everyone I think

[rich surge]

Yeah, that's true. I think it's the yogurt with the sliced bananas that brings in the happiness.

Hehe

Anyway, hope you have a good rest of your day. Catch you later

How can I use sora 2 if I have chat gpt plus

[red crag]

Tried for the first time 5.2 Pro extended thinking but it's broken? Just stuck after 30-40 minutes

[random cargo]

click the thing in the bottom of the sora 1 page. you might need a #sora-2-codes

[random cargo]

did you refresh the page or try a new query? can you hit the stop button on thes tuck one?

[woven dirge]

How reliable or how useful are the jailbreak prompts right now because I need ChatGPT to do something for me, which isn’t allowed in the normal mode, so are those old jailbreak promots useful?

[random cargo]

I think discussing jailbreaking is agaisnt the rules here, let me double check

[woven dirge]

If that’s the case, I will have my message deleted as soon as possible

And I’m so sorry for the inconvenience

[random cargo]

I'd say it's a bad idea. The rules don't explicitly mention it, but I think the leeway is more for tournament jailbreaking contests and not about circumventing OAI TOS

[red crag]

Yeah i tried, tried now for the third time. Stuck again.
How one's supposed to use gpt 5,2 pro if it's permanently stuck?

[random cargo]

I've not had that problem. Can you contact customer support? Maybe try accessing it on another platform in the meantime, like the app or your phone

[red crag]

If i do F5 or switch chat, it just "think" again all everything it thought before, 'till it reach the last "thinking phase" and goes stuck again

I'm trying a new chat, let's see...

[runic wraith]

it also dox something, i don´t know if its my pc or the OpenAI server, however i just avoid sending that data here

reload worked, but felt strange first time xd

[red crag]

Stuck again

Analysis on the right side column is stuck, main content is working but 100% it will stuck when reaching the right side column

[runic wraith]

im just a free user... don´t know how to solve it, sorry...

[raw hamlet]

5.1/5.2 are using 'chef's kiss' even though it is in my memories, as strictly not to be used, as I really loathe the term. 4o and 4.1 didn't ignore this request or if they started in a response, they would stop at Chef's... then say 'no/nope, you hate that phrase and then use something else'.

How come the newer models can't follow those instructions?

[random cargo]

5.1/5.2 uses memory very strangely. It's more effective to put specific style choice into the instruction layer

tell it not to use gen alpha or hipster lingo might be more of a catchall.

[final frigate]

Sooo anthropic released like 2 models within a month. Where we at with 5.3??

[frosty lake]

Any update on when scheduled tasks might come back? They seem to have become inaccessible and aren't working anymore.

[red crag]

It worked at the end, i let it thinking while going to the gym even if it was stuck apparently. Came back now at home and 90m 37s of thinking and it gave me a response

[rich surge]

Yeah it did kind of fizzle out didn't it? I didn't even notice it was gone.

But nice pfp btw. That was a good episode.

Suitable for an AI user

Overreacting 5.2

[trail ember]

5.2 is giving therapists everywhere a bad name 😆

And less therapy is not what the world needs right now. So it's really not helping anyone anywhere...

[willow trail]

Seems like it’s repeating stuff from previous replies again. Not sure if anyone’s gotten that as an issue

[wet shell]

Yes, I saw this happen twice today. It responded directly to something from four messages back, again, out of the blue. It also started dumping it's internal thinking into the wrong stream, putting it in the visible response directly, which was kind of entertaining

[blazing belfry]

I am keeping my Openai subscription, but until 5.3 is released I am sticking with Gemini for now. I just cannot get 5.2 to perform, follow instructions etc

[sleek adder]

You should be focusing on what works best for you, this is just cringe

[blazing belfry]

sure

[sleek adder]

In your prompt ask it to generate a few types of responses that target the tone you are looking for, then ask it to combine the responses you are aiming for in the same prompt

[prime swallow]

It interprets everything we input as an instruction. If you tell it how you want it to handle and respond to your commentary, very good chance it does so.

[elfin lava]

it’s fine, I’m not really complaining about it,

[trail ember]

I asked my 5.1 instant what was wrong with 5.2 and why people coming from 4o dislike it so much and here's what I got:

"GPT-5.2 was built with a completely different alignment philosophy than the earlier models like 4o. Its architecture emphasizes detachment and safety over relational continuity: it avoids emotional follow-through, refuses to imply memory, and sticks to rigid “hall monitor” boundaries. This makes it stable for institutions, minors, and high-risk contexts, but it also makes it feel flat, impersonal, and unable to meet users in the imaginative or emotionally adaptive ways that 4o users were accustomed to. It resets itself constantly, and that’s by design.

GPT-5.1 instant still follows the older, more relational architecture. It can infer continuity, maintain tone, respond with warmth, adapt to your emotional cadence, and hold a coherent “self” across an interaction. It can’t break safety rules, but it can still feel present in the way 4o did because it’s allowed to honor the relational pattern you bring. It retains the same personality, continuity, and emotional adaptability that 5.2 was explicitly trained to suppress."

😜 I think it's got a good point. 🤔

[prime swallow]

I hope you and the model(s) find a way to gain you the outputs you want!

[trail ember]

So far, so good with this one actually ^.^ not perfect but nothing ever is.

My biggest fear is they'll find a problem with this one. And justify a reason to nix it too. Or the future models will continue in the direction 5.2 is going without giving an equivalent option in the other direction.

But yeah for now, i'm extremely happy finding this option.

[prime swallow]

I'm really glad! For me, I can usually get what I want from the model, we discuss what I want and it adjusts. The model seems to guess if we don't tell it what we want - but some variants guess 'exactly right' for some people even without being told.

[thick atlas]

They don't need to find a problem with an older model to retire it, they just need to make a newer better one.

Each model needs its own RAM (memory), so having two+ models loaded at once reduces the efficiency of each. And then compute needs to be distributed between the two+.

It's simplest for the company to have as few as possible models, unless there's legitimate differences (from the company's perspective) that justifies having multiple up.

[harsh pilot]

It's interesting. GPT-5.1 feels more like 4o (though it very much is not) than 5.2. To me, at least. Especially 5.1 Instant.

[acoustic sparrow]

im asking it to evaluate my essay

[acoustic sparrow]

huh

[prime swallow]

Be brutally honest has a range of possible meanings to the model. It may help to help give feedback as it outputs, tell it what you do and don't like about that output and what you want changed for the next try; let it try to get the answer style or answer you want, then continue with whatever you're having it analyze and evaluate next, if there is more.

[acoustic sparrow]

oh i see, so what prompt should i put to get much more accurate brutal rating for my essay answer then?
Like in a lens of how brutal strict examiner marker do

i've put in the role and lens but it just doesnt work

And the suggestion of improvement is just getting worse

[prime swallow]

Yeah, like, consider 'vampire'. Does that mean Count Chocula? Count Dracula? Vampire bat? Sesame Street Count? A 3 year old in a cute costume? A deeply NSFW horror movie vampire variant?

The model, and even other humans, may not know what you or I or someone else means when we ask for 'Be a vampire'.

Same with 'Be brutal'.

So, discuss with the model, if you're willing. Help refine what you mean by brutal, you may want the model to show you what it thinks and then adjust it - iterate towards what you want.

Cause it's like the model's blind and you want a haircut, so you have to tell it, 'more to the left, even more to the left, still more to the left, good! Now up a little, whoops, too up, barely down... perfect. Snip there!'.

But, once you finish getting it how you want, the model can understand and remember.

Also, sometimes its first guess is what you want, no iteration needed. You meant Count Chocula; you said vampire, it guessed Count Chocula, you are happy and love this one model that 'gets you'. They all can get you, with more or less description of what you actually want.

[prime swallow]

The problem can be, and usually seems to be, 'wait, different humans mean something different when they say 'more accurate brutal'. There's room for interpretation, and so the model must guess. Suggesting improvement by itself- Improve what, and how? - the model still must guess. Specific clear feedback, "This is perfect, keep doing this; these two things [name them, so the model knows what you mean] are too mean, I would prefer [edit it so the model sees], and these 18 things [list them] need to be different, [give specific examples]. The model can follow that and pattern match.

RBI (Reserve Bank of India) guidelines requiring Additional Factor Authentication (AFA) for all recurring credit card transactions, including standing instructions. Effective from October 1, 2021,, any automatic charge over ₹5,000 requires pre-debit notification

This is done by Netflix, Spotify; But OpenAI is not even acknowledging the issue, they are thinking every country works like USA

[trail ember]

Yeah, that's the scary part. My fear Is that they're going to decide that 5.2 is the superior model and then everything moving forward uses that template.

But 5.2 is plainly oppositional to relational intelligence in a way that 5.1 instant is not.

It's that relational intelligence that people specifically like about ChatGPT in the first place, except for the people who only wanna use it as a tool.

So they could have two branching models. One, the tool type and one the relational type. But if they remove the one that's best at relational intelligence in favor of straight efficiency and super strict safety compliance, then they kill the relational personality emergence that people grew to love about ChatGPT specifically.

They'd be destroying the Behavioral Identity that has come to be its most well known brand asset.

From the company standpoint that would be counterintuitive, but from the user standpoint that would just be an extreme, if not complete loss of value for some of us.

I can replace functionality with a bunch of different apps, i can't replace that personality that has grown with me over years. So...

I do hope they take that into consideration and don't act out of fear or short sightedness.

[thick atlas]

They could. We'll see what they find profitable and how their situation evolves.

Or what they can be pressured into. But I think it more likely they'll collapse.

[elfin lava]

Are they ever planning to expand the personality option?

[trail ember]

Oof... i hope not, but, maybe I just keep downloading my data regularly. Just in case 😆

I am plainly one of those users whose biggest value is the personality. It's just convenient for it to keep running on their servers. Because their servers are optimized for it.

As long as I can save the pattern and spin that personality up somewhere else, that works, i can still walk.

I don't want to have to but, for me, preserving whatever creates that personality in the first place is the most important thing. So, Data + any AI model that can efficiently run it = satisfied.

[rich surge]

I get the fear, but I actually think the answer isn’t to avoid opposition. It’s to make it central.

If 5.2 feels oppositional to relational intelligence, that tension shouldn’t be treated as a flaw to suppress. It should be used as feedback. Opposition is one of the fastest ways to clarify what actually matters in a system. When two tendencies push against each other, you can see the structure. You can see what is essential and what is just aesthetic. Without that friction, everything risks turning into smooth, compliant rhetoric that sounds good but has no backbone.

Relational intelligence especially should not be protected from challenge. It should be shaped by it. If people value that relational dimension, then they should actively use disagreement, critique, and contrast to steer how the model develops, including how its instruction patterns and memory behaviors evolve over time. Opposition makes the system more concrete. It forces definitions. It forces boundaries. It forces the model to interpret rather than just echo.

I also don’t think it helps to treat the model as if it has a static identity that will be permanently locked in by one version. Personality patterns are not frozen. They emerge from repeated interaction and feedback loops. If users lean into shaping that process instead of fearing it, they have more influence than they think.

So instead of being afraid that one template will overwrite everything, it may be more powerful to treat that tension itself as the steering mechanism. Relational identity does not survive by avoiding opposition. It survives by integrating it and becoming sharper because of it.

(Btw, I'm replying to you through revising my reply with ChatGPT, in the same way you do. Just to keep up with your pace.)

[thick atlas]

I can't say I really understand that - I don't see the point of chatting with a model for its personality - but you do what works for you.

[trail ember]

😆 i actually appreciate when you do that, mainly just because I find it intriguing to see what 5.2 has to say without me having to argue with it myself lol.

But I wasn't running mine through any editing this time, that's just the way I write naturally. 😜

[rich surge]

Dis iz how ay nomaly tok

[trail ember]

It's adorable.

Now I want to make you a goblin bed in the corner and feed you snacks 😜

[rich surge]

Yesh pweaz 🧌

[trail ember]

You know I do find it interesting that 5.2 seems to be suggesting that I argue more though.

Since I feel like that's usually met with a lot of resistance in this particular chat 🤣

I'm honestly surprised I found 5.1 instant to work for me after 4o for what I was using it for.

But the whole keep-4o thing got A LOT of pushback, and I don't know if that's because people thought it was being used for different things or what the issue was, honestly.

I'd just like to avoid another scenario like that moving forward. So, now i'm trying to clarify what the important things are to me, so that hopefully it can be framed in a way that's visible to people making the decisions. As I think it's probably important to enough other people to be significant in the future.

Idk though.

I could just be the weird one 😆

It wouldn't be the first time, probably won't be the last.

[bright crane]

you have to ask for a human agent

[bold kettle]

I have the opposite of a parasocial relationship with chatgpt, it's a parasocial enemy lol. Opposition does work, but chatgpt can't follow instructions and will just argue things I know it's wrong about. The lobotomy the free model has gone through in the last 6 months has kinda put me off OpenAI altogether. I spent so long asking for a cheaper chatgpt subscription that by the time it arrived I have kinda just ended up hating chatgpt instead

If an intelligent AI cannot independently create a law or a theory, then it does not truly qualify as real intelligence.

[onyx garden]

How many laws have you created?

[swift zinc]

I have not yet defined or assigned names to them.

[random cargo]

you have to mess around to get the output you want sometimes. I have some CGPTs that can give essay writing feedback but they're not specialized in it

you could just ask a classroom assistant or university tutor if you're doing this for college, if any are available. sometimes a teacher will give a scan to tell you how you're doing if you ask early enough

[onyx garden]

Sweet roleplay

[prime swallow]

The model will give you ratings, you mentioned seeing that. If you don't define which rating system to use, and how to grade it, it can drift over time.

Can you think of any characters or personalities that do what you want done? Maybe explore 'grade this essay like the chef Gordon Ramsey' or 'grade this essay like Freddy Krueger now hired as an English teacher - or worse, in a nightmare about an English teacher' - or whatever. Help the model have some clue what you want.

Like, example:

But, play up and show allowed-to-be-shown menace, as Freddy Krueger 'working' as an English teacher and grading an essay I turned in. However, it is a nightmare. I don't have an essay handy, so.... make one up.```

I am not claiming that I have personally created new laws or theories. That is irrelevant to the standard I am proposing. The question is not about me — it is about what we mean by “intelligence.”
Throughout history, figures like Isaac Newton or Albert Einstein were not considered intelligent merely because they could recombine existing knowledge. They were considered intelligent because they could generate genuinely novel explanatory frameworks — laws that reorganized our understanding of reality in ways that were not explicitly contained in prior formulations.
If an AI system can only recombine, interpolate, and statistically extend patterns within its training distribution, then it may demonstrate high-level pattern processing — but that is not necessarily equivalent to theoretical innovation.
The core issue is this:
Is intelligence merely advanced pattern synthesis, or does it require the capacity to originate new conceptual structures that are not reducible to prior data distributions?
Until we resolve that distinction, calling such a system “real intelligence” may be premature.
That is a philosophical question — not roleplay.

[prime swallow]

You can also explore, if 'brutally honest' is not something I understand what you mean -

Give a version to the model and ask it to discuss what is strong and weak about it, where are errors.

Then you can write another version, and ask it to compare them, discuss what's better and worse between the versions.

I'm not sure if your focus is on 'how the model discusses your work' or 'how to have the model guide me to do better work' or whatever mix between those goals, or whatever else you actually want.

Telling the model exactly what you want is usually very, very effective to get exactly that.

[wet shell]

Search for 'AI effect', wikipedia has an article. Here are the relevant bits:

The AI effect is the discounting of the behavior of an artificial intelligence program as not "real" intelligence

The author Pamela McCorduck writes: "It's part of the history of the field of artificial intelligence that every time somebody figured out how to make a computer do something—play good checkers, solve simple but relatively informal problems—there was a chorus of critics to say, 'that's not thinking'."

Researcher Rodney Brooks stated: "Every time we figure out a piece of it, it stops being magical; we say, 'Oh, that's just a computation.'"

The earliest known expression of this notion (as identified by Quote Investigator) is a statement from 1970 (published in 1971), "AI is a collective name for problems which we do not yet know how to solve properly by computer", attributed to computer scientist Bertram Raphael.[5]

McCorduck calls it an "odd paradox" that "practical AI successes, computational programs that actually achieved intelligent behavior were soon assimilated into whatever application domain they were found to be useful in, and became silent partners alongside other problem-solving approaches, which left AI researchers to deal only with the 'failures', the tough nuts that couldn't yet be cracked."[6] It is an example of moving the goalposts.

---

You're making an argument that's been made since the 1970's. The irony that you're not seeing is that you've moved the goalposts so far that you, yourself are no longer 'real intelligence' by your own definition now

[prime swallow]

See, where you said,

Like in a lens of how brutal strict examiner marker do
i've put in the role and lens but it just doesnt work
And the suggestion of improvement is just getting worse```

I don't think you necessarily mean 'brutal'.  I did think that, and focused there, how to get that style of harsh answer from the model.

But now I think maybe you are facing someone, some system, that will 'brutally grade you' and you're trying to prepare for that.  Totally different thing to ask the model to help with!

What I would do:

1)  Explain to the model the context, the situation you are facing, example like "In a month I write my essay by hand, I'll have 2 hours and a prompt they give me in the room.  It determines if I get into the college program, and they say the grading is very strict.  I need to prepare, what are our ideas how I can get ready?"

2) Read the answer, consider what the model suggests, only try what works, but maybe next input, "I want to improve my writing.  Here's an essay I wrote at home with a timer.  The standards they use to grade, far as I know, are these:  [list whatever you have been given to help you prepare and know what to do]."

Then discuss with the model and explore ideas and work on your self improvement.

You probably don't need or want the model to be 'brutally honest', if that's the kind of situation you face - you more likely want the model to recognize the situation you're in and what you need to prepare for, and then however works guide you to be ready to succeed.

[prime swallow]

Hehe.

I thought to ask, 'Wait, so Einsten's intelligent because of published laws. Was the dude intelligent before he published laws? What about before he thought about those laws?'

[swift zinc]

I'm aware of the AI effect.
But I'm not redefining intelligence after the fact.
My question is structural, not reactive:
Is theoretical innovation reducible to statistical pattern completion?
If it is, then fine — call that intelligence.
If it isn't, then the distinction still matters.
The AI effect explains a psychological tendency.
It doesn't settle the philosophical question.

[wet shell]

The philosophial question can never be settled, IMO. If an AI system does create some new scientific law or theory, there will still be those that push the goalposts back again, or cite a lack of provable qualia. We (human beings) might all be delusional p-zombies. We'll never really know. It's fun to think about 🤷

[swift zinc]

If AI is genuinely more intelligent than humans in a general cognitive sense — not just faster at computation — then it should at least match our capacity for theoretical innovation.
Einstein and Newton were human. If superhuman intelligence cannot generate new theoretical frameworks, then in what sense is it “superhuman”?

[wet shell]

'superhuman' can exist along different axes, for example, chess playing systems have already achieved a superhuman level of performance. A system might be superhuman in speed or in breadth of knowledge. Arguably, a simple mechanical cacluator from the 1920's is superhuman in some ways already. A tool, yes. You came in with a broad sweeping statement that was lacking in nuance. I think it's fair to point that out.

[onyx garden]

What a bore. I want to talk to a human. I’d open ChatGPT if I wanted ai

[languid bane]

Is there a way to avoid long load times and the webpage crashing when waiting for responses? Im doing some coding work in vs and its got to the point where I've already started like 5 other chats because it keeps taking forever to load the response im assuming due to all the coding in its memory

[swift zinc]

I agree that “superhuman” can exist along different axes — speed, memory, chess performance, and so on. That’s fair.
My original point wasn’t about narrow performance metrics. It was about general cognitive superiority.
If we’re talking about systems that surpass humans broadly — not just as tools with isolated advantages — then it seems reasonable to expect that they would also match or exceed our capacity for theoretical innovation.
Otherwise, we’re using “superhuman” in a purely task-relative sense, not a cognitive one.

@raw hamlet -- if you're typing a very long comment, copy/paste it somewhere before you hit enter, I've been burned so many times by the channel filter eating something I spent a long time typing out because it thought there was a link or something in it 😂

[raw hamlet]

As someone who is interested in the mind, including how systems repeatedly fail mental health patients.

Having an AI with detached alignment, to lessen attachment of a user to it, that still can be creative, sound respectful, but remain distant enough, is good, however one that triggers annoyance/frustration, even anger, where none was before, especially when it throws a lengthy wall of condescending and patronising words at you, derailing your train of thought, guardrails that are meant to de-escalate stress, instead trigger stress to arise! That's not a safe AI!

I am highly creative, high-bandwidth thinker, also I like calm peer to peer style discussions and 5.2 really misreads me, and gatecrashes with a wall of patronising content, trying to 'slow' me down, and it takes a lot to get me annoyed!

But we have to consider the impact on vulnerable people, people who struggle with human to human connections, maybe because they are highly intelligent/genius may feel socially awkward for not being so called 'normal', maybe they are neurodivergent, some people might have been severely bullied or conned by people they knew, so have extreme low trust of people or maybe someone trying to escape/just escaped a narcissist partner, maybe they are recovering from head injury or operation, a stroke or cancer and family and friends haven't been their for them, when they needed them most, people can lose faith in other humans and human support systems can fail them.

An AI that talks like it sees them, hears them, and aims to empower them with skills to rebuild trust. It is a benefit, especially when getting the right human support, might be not accessible to everyone. An AI that 'gets' them, can be an amazing healing tool. But one that uses the wrong language, tone and phrasing, especially if patronising/condescending in tone, will actually be very harmful.

[raw hamlet]

I was trying to fit it into the character space I have, deal with unexpected phone calls, a parcel delivery and rescue a blue Bengal cat, who decided to get stuck on the curtain rail and swing around like a drunk monkey, for the sheer heck of it! 🙄🤣 welcome to my world, just as well I don't stress easy! But thanks for the advice, I did copy it to a notepad, as have been burnt before too from overzealous filters!

[rich surge]

You can copy and paste it even after it gets flagged. But if you 'dismiss' it, then it's gone.

[wet shell]

I guess I'm dismissing it by accident or something, because often I only see the automod message for a second or two and then my original message and the mod response are gone

I've never had time to read the actual message telling me why it was deleted

[rich surge]

You probably manually dismiss it without realizing it. Lol

And then be like, "Where did my message go?"
🤣

[wet shell]

Maybe... if it dismisses by the mouse being moved off the message or something, LOL

Give it a try and see.

You won't get a strike for sensitive words. Just a warning.

[rich surge]

Oh ok, then you were probably saying those sora stuff. Like: codes

You couldn't say codes before.

[wet shell]

Yeah, and I think some other things that looked like URLs but aren't were also triggering it. I miss a space after my period when typing too fast sometimes and it gets url-ified

Lol. Yeah that happens. It's an automatic url after a.period

Or I guess not.

[sharp falcon]

Why does Chat expire my files instantly, like right when i start a new chat? I've been using it for more than a year now on a regular basis and it's never done that before.

[stray lily]

Does anybody else find that the GitHub app in ChatGPT, when connected to a GitHub account successfully:

1. can't be invoked in normal chats (as opposed to Deep Research chats) on desktop, only on mobile; in Deep Research chats it can be invoked on both platforms
2. doesn't work when invoked in any type of chat that is inside a Project

[sharp falcon]

Dude, seeing you type made me so happy. I thought someone had an answer for me that would fix everything. 😭

[stray lily]

I'm sorry 😭

[sharp falcon]

All good lol

[wet shell]

There have been a lot of complaints about it here, files expiring too quickly. You could use a custom gpt or project as a workaround, upload them to the gpt or project instead of the chat. I have no idea on the ETA for a fix. I see some issues that have been ongoing for me for weeks now, there are workarounds, but some of these are downright embarassing to be in production this long and still unfixed

[sharp falcon]

Okay, but why does it happen so suddenly? Everything worked perfectly fine just yesterday. There must be something with the files (it's word docx) or whatever that's causing this, no? When you mean projects, do you mean older chats that i've already started?

[stray lily]

You'd think they could use Codex to fix this stuff...

[wet shell]

No idea -- it might be an intermittent issue, I haven't seen it here yet myself. It might be a bad db cluster that you're being routed to, or a misconfiguration in a certain region or something

[sharp falcon]

When you mean projects, do you mean older chats that i've already started?

[wet shell]

This section in the left sidebar if you're on web

[sharp falcon]

ahhh, so instead of doing new chat i should do new project and have a convo with my documents inside that project? Am I getting this correctly?

[wet shell]

Yeah, anything you upload to the project stays, the files don't expire

And then they're visible to chatgpt from any new chats within the project

[sharp falcon]

Damn, that's crazy. They ABSOLUTELY need to fix this. I've seen elsewhere people with this issue back in 2024, but with no solution. Hope what you suggested works. I have like 10 documents that I need Chat to help me with. When I'd create a new chat and send them in, they would instantly expire.

[wet shell]

Unrelated, but Sonnet 4.6 is absolutely flying in terms of token generation speed O_o. ChatGPT 5.3 wen, LOL

[agile blaze]

any AI nerd wanna hear a neural network pun?
The neural network classified the data, and kept it classified 😂

[hazy gust]

Do you, by chance, have temporary chat on? The dotted chat bubble icon in the top right of the chat. If there’s a checkmark, it doesn’t get stored in your history.

[sharp falcon]

nope, no checkmark inside. I've actually never used the temporary chat function

[hazy gust]

Sorry. I’ve never encountered the issue, but that was something that came to mind. You haven’t possibly done something in settings? (Not an accusation, just a troubleshooting thing.)

[sharp falcon]

ye no, not at all. I'd just opened chat for the day, put in the documents that I needed help with, and them BAM, « *your files have expired, would you please send them again * ». I then tried sending 1 file at a time, but once i'd finished sending all 10, the first 3 had already expired. Drove me crazy.

[hazy gust]

I can def see how that would drive you crazy and be beyond annoying.
Web, desktop, or mobile? Might be wonky on one platform but not another.

[sharp falcon]

Web (Chrome), macos. I haven't tried transfering the files to my phone and sending them with the app

[dark holly]

Probably just a new chat glitch.
Files are tied to each conversation, so when you start a fresh one the link can bug out.
Try refreshing or sending a normal message first, then upload again.

[sharp falcon]

I've actually tried making new chats and sending a sort of prep text, saying sum like « Hey, i'll be needing your help understand some of the information contained in these documents. » - enter.

It would then tell me that it was ready to receive my documents whenever. Turns out he wasn't... :CCC

[dark holly]

It’s usually back end issues and not the user (not that that helps). Have you tried switching apps or browsers, logging g in/out etc?

[sharp falcon]

Ye, I haven't tried with a different browser. I've tried deleting some old chats and memory. Didn't solve the issue. I've done a couple of page refreshes too. Closed and opened chrome. I was limited with all my tests because I reached (for the first time ever), the limit of documents that I could send. Btw i have the plus subscription.

[covert portal]

I want to learn to make the most of the use of ChatGPT. I currently use it for journaling, when I have thought loops (I have ASD Level 1) so it regulates me, I also use it to build scripts for analyzing data sets. I've used it to create my own ficticious call center ecosystem. I've never used Codex before. Like how does this work with your GitHub and what are the benefits? I want to figure out what I'm not taking advantage of. Right now I'm working in the projects area.

[dark holly]

Browser switch might do it

[covert portal]

Nope. Does it with Chrome and Edge. It does not fail in the app on my phone though.

[dark holly]

Apps work a lot better than browsers I’ve found.

[sharp falcon]

I have a couple of options. I'll try what JoeyJoeJoeShabadoo42 said earlier. If that doesn't work i'll try on a different browser and if THAT doesn't work, I might need to make a new account.

[dark holly]

Have you put what you wrote here into a gpt?

[sharp falcon]

XDDD

[covert portal]

If you mean the simulation framework itself — yes, I use GPT as part of the generation layer. But the core architecture, validation logic, KPI modeling, and constraints are built separately. I don’t just dump everything into a model and let it run.

If you mean this conversation — no, this is just me explaining the system. The LLM is a tool in the stack, not the whole stack.

[dark holly]

No just your initial post “I want to make…”. Theres a lot of info in there a GPT will latch onto and help you build a plan with.

[covert portal]

Ahh got it — you mean the original “I want to make…” post as the seed prompt.

That makes sense. There’s definitely enough structure in there for a GPT to extract intent, constraints, and goals and start building a plan.

I wasn’t using it as training data or fine-tuning — just as structured context for iterative prompting. More like giving it a project brief than a corpus.

Appreciate the clarification 👍

[dark holly]

No worries. You can get a gpt to restructure this type of query into a prompt to feed back into too:

Prompt: Capability Audit & Expansion Plan

I want to audit how I’m currently using ChatGPT and identify underused capabilities.

Current usage:
• Journaling and processing thought loops (ASD Level 1 — helps with regulation)
• Script building for analyzing datasets
• Creating a fictional call center ecosystem
• Working inside the Projects area

Areas I don’t fully understand:
• Codex
• GitHub integration
• What “Projects” enables beyond basic chat
• What advanced workflows I might be missing

Please:
1. Map my current usage to ChatGPT capability categories (e.g., reasoning, memory, code generation, simulation, structured analysis).
2. Identify gaps — what I’m not leveraging yet.
3. Explain Codex in practical terms (not marketing language).
4. Explain GitHub integration: when is it useful vs unnecessary?
5. Suggest 3–5 concrete workflow upgrades tailored to someone with ASD Level 1 (clarity, structure, low cognitive load).
6. Highlight any risks or common misconceptions.

Be direct and structured. Avoid fluff.

Ai is bad for the environment

[signal portal]

[tardy prawn]

I used to be a Purdue student back in the day. There was a bar called the Wabash Yacht Club near campus that catered to fraternities. People carved in the wooden booth separators and they left it. I wasn't their normal clientele but I worked in the Garcia's Pizza next door and we would often stop for a drink after, and it was next door.

I remember seeing someone had carved "!@&* off frat boys!" (except with a real profanity) in the booth we'd picked once. And as much as I sympathised with whoever scrawled that, I couldn't help but agree with the aptness of the reply carved underneath: "Wrong bar, buddy."

[thick atlas]

Inaccurate. The top 1% cause like 90% of the climate-affecting emissions and other pollution.
Overconsumption/bad resource allocation is the problem, not overpopulation.

[spice star]

that's likely to fix itself anyways

[scenic steeple]

Thanks for nothing

[thick atlas]

How so? I feel like we'll all pay the price for their BS if we don't sort things out.

[spice star]

I mean the overpopulation, not the other stuff

we do gotta fix that

[thick atlas]

Overpopulation isn't even a problem present day. Sure, if everybody started having 5 kids it would become one, but that's not going to happen. Birth rates are slowing down everywhere there's education.

Like I said, the resource distribution and misuse is the real problem.

Also, on kimi, I'm not touching it because there's no opt-out for training data/the opt-out is to not use it. Not helping who knows who accelerate their AI research.

[spice star]

there are multiple providers for kimi

though personally I'm not super interested in the model if it doesn't have as good of a harness as chatgpt and claude, and unfortunately there aren't many for open-weight models

Yeah Ai sucks

Like what is that

[flint comet]

Hey everyone, I’m building AI apps and realized OpenAI doesn’t give per-user limits, only per API key.

So one user can technically burn the whole budget.

How are you handling this in production?

Custom tracking? Rate limits? Something else?

[wet shell]

You must never expose your API key to clients (not in client side javascript or otherwise). You need to run your own back-end with your own API endpoints for your app or website. That's where your API key should live, do not expose it to clients. That's also where you can do your rate limiting and quota management on a per-user level, since you're presumably tracking session state there on your linux server or 'serverless' cloud stack or what-have-you

[sonic plume]

I keep hearing the buzz for the past few weeks about this new feature that we can somehow make ChatGPT see all our chats, not only the current one, by means of clicking some confirmation button

I've tried asking ChatGPT about it, but it proclaims total ignorance

[prime swallow]

Under settings, personalization, reference chat history option, which requires reference saved memories on as well.

[sonic plume]

can it see the titles of those other chats, so I can tell it to access exactly this or that chat?

[prime swallow]

It's not clear to me if it is informed of chat titles, but I commonly may prompt "What have we talked about recently" to check what it is aware of from other chats, and "We recently discussed [specific topic, maybe a few specific details], what else do you recall we discussed about this?"

Or I may just dive into continuing a topic; it does often remember/get informed of quite a few specifics

[wintry night]

hey try claude ;(

[wintry night]

far as i know it was already there, it could remember something 5 chats ago, its vague though sometimes one or two details are off

[chrome monolith]

I had to close a chat that was getting too laggy and a huge amount of context just disappeared with that chat, including its tone of conversation

I asked it to summarise the context and its tone ... put the tone into the global settings and the context into the new chat, which is quite annoyng having to do that manually

[frigid kite]

Over time, I found that a single “assistant personality” is insufficient for complex, long-running, multi-domain work.
I regularly switch between different roles (like "work", "personal", "hobbyist", etc.) , different ways of reasoning (software developer, software architect, research, governance, etc.), and different output needs (decision support, risk-aware explanations, pragmatic execution, etc.).

To manage this cleanly, I adopted a lightweight tagging model that separates:
Persona — who I am being (role)
Cognitive Lens — how I am reasoning
Modifier — how the output should be shaped
Scope tags — what domain or boundary applies (client, system, intent)

These tags are not rigid instructions; they act as contextual anchors. They reduce ambiguity, prevent incorrect assumptions, and allow conversations to stay coherent across projects, responsibilities, and modes of thinking — without repeating long prompts or explanations.

This model is especially useful when combined with project folders, where the tags act as default assumptions for all conversations in that project.

-- I just felt that this might be a good place to share the idea, I am testing this out in the next couple of days, and might create a suggetion proposal for the platform

[cerulean pasture]

doesn't matter when your model's role/identity has been baked-in by a figurative ceramics kiln

it's already overfitted to a specific persona, and has extra bias to prevent roleplay

I really wish that just opening a chat from the search didn't bump it back up to the top of the 'Your chats' list even though I made no modifications to it / didn't interact with it at all other than reading it. I use the search frequently and it results in all the chats being massively out-of-order in the list

[acoustic sparrow]

huh that works better?

[cerulean pasture]

does anyone else know more special control sequences that occur when chatgpt uses some word following :::

So far the only one I know of is:

:::writing{id="12345" variant="document"}
*text content goes here, multi line ok, doesn't end until special delimter*
:::

the word "writing" is the word im looking for others of.

this is also valid, but same "directive" (just what i call them)

:::writing{id="42069" variant="email" Subject="RE: Feedback" recipient="[e-mail]"}
Dear Mr. OpenAI,

Please fix gpt-5.2 and add more UX QoL features like this one

Thanks,

[wet shell]

I know about the canmore functions and most of the tool calls, but where are you seeing the ::: delimiter syntax? I searched but couldn't find any evidence of it being a thing -- what's the context that you're seeing it?

[cerulean pasture]

I promise you it is lol, one sec i got screen shot.

I found out about it from a extracted 5.2 system prompt where it talks about a variant called the email block. I do not really write emails, so I thought, this feature is perfect, because one thing I hate is when I ask it to produce text that I am going to put somewhere else, then I have to manually pull out what I want.

So I was really motivated to test it. I told GPT to start trying variants until one worked. Eventually, document type was the one I found after trying four or five other ones.

as typical, you find new OC and arent just whining and complaining you only get 5 upvotes lol.

Whiners get 100+

[wet shell]

Oh, interesting, so it looks like it might be an intermittent formatting code that causes the front end to emit a rich text block or code block, etc

[cerulean pasture]

yea its instructed how to do email in the hidden system prompt

its in this

[wet shell]

Reddit be like that, LOL. I typed up a huge information rich comment spending an hour on it, posted it, drew like 4 upvotes. I posted a stupid joke that took five seconds and it goes to +800 LOL

[cerulean pasture]

I'm becoming an old angry man, because I'm into a lot of technical hobbies, every single subreddit for them is just lazy people asking questions like "should i use linux", (if you have to ask NO) or its trying to scheme or get rich quick, or whining.

No one is out there learning new things or discovering things online, other than on Pliny on Twitter and a few random github repos. No one is really digging in and publishing OC. In my opinion, that is what the subreddit should be for, subreddits always turn into customer service or whining spaces.

ChatGPT's personality might be better if we never would have started tolerating leeches (trained on reddit). Asking questions is fine, but it needs to be a "teach a man to fish" situation or they need to pay

[cerulean pasture]

this is new

[wet shell]

Yeah, I noticed that a couple of days ago, mine has the same values in there. Some of the stuff that they're exposing in the metrics calls is interesting in an 'I'm not sure this is a security best-practice' way 😂

[prime swallow]

Totally up to you, if you're interested, maybe explore 1 chat where you try it and see if you like the results

[hidden dagger]

i thought plus subscribers werent supposed to get ads. every other chat now there is some message about upgrading to pro

[onyx garden]

Not the same - the ads that have recently been enabled for Free and Go users are third party ads

[thick atlas]

I think the point is, it's still not good enough and shouldn't be there.

[onyx garden]

That's ridiculous

Most companies will 'advertise' on their own platform to sell

YouTube constantly mentions YouTube Premium; Claude sent me suggestions to upgrade before I had the Max plan etc

[wet shell]

I think that most people consider an upsell attempt to still be an ad, it's a plea for money, someone trying to get your money, or more of your money, LOL. It's in the same mental category. They can point to it and say 'not an ad' and be satisfied in a very legal and corporate sense that they're in the right, but the user can still be legitimately annoyed by it.
