Sure but different people have different preferences. Some people mourn replacement of GPT4 with 5 because 5 has way less of a bubbly personality.

- WesolyKubeczek 1y agoI, for one, say good riddance to it.
- arresin 1y agoBut it doesn’t say ima good boy anymore :(
- cubefox 1y agoThere is evidence from Reddit that particularly women used GPT-4o as their AI "boyfriend". I think that's unhealthy behavior and it is probably net positive that GPT-5 doesn't do that anymore.
- ivan_gammel 1y agoGPT-5 still does that as they will soon discover.
- cubefox 1y agoNo. They complained about GPT-5 because it did not act like their boyfriend anymore.
- scotty79 1y agoWhy is it unhealthy? If you just want a good word that you don't have in your life why should you bother another person if machine can do it?
- cubefox 1y agoBecause it's a mirage. People want to be loved, but GPT-4o doesn't love them. It only creates an optical illusion of love.
- 9rx 1y agoPeople want the feelings associated with love. They don't care how they get it. The advantage of "real" love, health wise, is that the other person acts as a moderator. When things start to get out of hand they will back away. Alternatives, like drugs, tend to spiral of out of control when an individual's self-control is the only limiting factor. GPT on the surface seems more like being on the drug end of the spectrum, ready to love bomb you until you can't take it anymore, but the above suggests that it will also back away, so perhaps its love is actually more like another person than it may originally seem.
- cubefox 1y ago> People want the feelings associated with love. They don't care how they get it. Most people want to be loved, not just believe they are. They don't want to be unknowingly deceived. For the same reason they don't want to be unknowingly cheated on. If someone tells them their partner is a cheater, or an unconscious android, they wouldn't be mad about the person who gives them this information, but about their partner. That's the classic argument against psychological hedonism. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experience_machine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experience_machine
- 9rx 1y ago> For the same reason they don't want to be unknowingly cheated on. That's the thing, though, there is nothing about being a cheater that equates to loss of love (or never having loved). In fact, it is telling that you shifted gears to the topic of deceit rather than love. It is true that feelings of love are often lost when one has been cheated on. So, yes, it is a fair point that for many those feelings of love aren't made available if one does not also have trust. There is a association there, so your gear change is understood. I expect you are absolutely right that if those aforementioned women dating GPT-4o found out that it wasn't an AI bot, but actually some guy typing away at a keyboard, they would lose their feelings even if the guy on the other side did actually love them! Look at how many people get creeped out when they find out that a person they are disinterested in loves them. Clearly being loved isn't what most people seek. They want to feel the feelings associated with love. All your comment tells, surprising nobody, is that the feelings of love are not like a tap you can simply turn on (well, maybe in the case of drugs). The feelings require a special environment where everything has to be just right, and trust is often a necessary part of that environment. Introduce deceit and so goes the feelings.
- catigula 1y agoGPT-5 still has a terrible personality. "Yeah -- some bullshit" still feels like trash as the presentation is of a friendly person rather than an unthinking machine, which it is. The false presentation of humanness is a huge problem.
- ted_bunny 1y agoI feel strongly about this. LLMs should not try to write like humans. Computer voices should sound robotic. And when we have actual androids walking around, they should stay on the far side of the uncanny valley. People are already anthropomorphizing them too much.
- Applejinx 1y agoIt can't, though. It's language. We don't have a body of work constituting robots talking to each other in words. Hardly fair to ask LLMs not to write like humans when humans constructed everything they're built on.
