Ask HN: Has the ChatGPT 5 web chat become more agreeable?

1 bn-l 0 8/13/2025, 1:24:16 AM

I think they’ve implemented some feedback from people who missed the obsequiousness of ChatGPT 4o.

Which if true is is a mistake imo—to take on face value the feedback of your lowest common denominator / lowest taste customers. It would be a shame if this stopped them from implementing a model with actual push back.

To be clear I’m talking about the online web app not the API—I haven’t tested that much yet.
