GPT-5 was met with lukewarm reception. OpenAI intervened with a personality change. Is that going to be enough?
GPT-5 is still very fresh, but it still somehow feels like it’s been around for a while — all because of the uproar that followed the launch. Many ChatGPT users had something to say about it, and unfortunately, not all of it was good.

OpenAI went back on that one quickly, adding Auto, Fast, Thinking-mini, and Thinking. It also reinstated the previously removed GPT-4o — more on that later.
“We’re making GPT-5 warmer and friendlier based on feedback that it felt too formal before. Changes are subtle, but ChatGPT should feel more approachable now,” said OpenAI in a post on X. “You’ll notice small, genuine touches like ‘good question’ or ‘great start,’ not flattery.” Many users didn’t rely on ChatGPT for getting through situations such as the one described above. However, they still turned to GPT-4o for creativity, such as creating characters for stories or outlining ideas. GPT-5 doesn’t feel anywhere near as creative, which makes it less useful to those users, too.
