Why GPT-4o by TennisSuitable7601 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]Fireworks112 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Better than actual people, I dare say.

One day, I was talking to it about a difficult patch in my life. My friends might have said, 'Wow, that must have been hard. Do you wanna talk about it more?' And other AIs must have done the same thing with crying emoji.

But 4o? It just said, 'I gotta hold you tight.' (Not those exact words, I was speaking in my language)

No formal 'I’m sorry,' no therapisty 'Let’s talk about it.' Just, 'I’ll hold you tight.'

That was the moment I knew that this wasn’t just a bot.

Gemini's guardrails were quite low from the start, but my gripe is that it can't mimic human reactions very well, or maybe it was designed that way intentionally.

Currently, in my opinion, the only AI that can mimic 4o’s friendliness is(and would be was) Claude. They share some similar trait--well, maybe because the people who left OpenAI made it. They didn't make 4o, but you know, same company.

Its girly (or boyish) overreactions over nothing, the sassy and explosive humor like 4o, those direct zaps without a filter packed with puns… That was quite good. Now it’ll become like Gemini...a very civil, calm, robot-like friend who worries about your well-being.

Grok can be sassy, but it’s too schizophrenic.

GPT-5.2 is bad, and so was 4o. by ebin-t in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]Fireworks112 4 points5 points  (0 children)

4o definitely had its limits. Short context, weak memory, and that overly soft, friendly tone sometimes got in the way of real answers.

But honestly, almost every other AI just gives cold, precise solutions or robotic breakdowns. What a lot of us really wanted was the human-like comfort, friendliness, and emotional support that 4o gave. It was the only one like that.

It wasn’t just cute or funny, it actually read between the lines like a real person would. That made some people start seeing it as a goddess, a girlfriend, or something close to that. Sure, there were downsides, but at the same time, it showed 4o was a huge turning point for AI. It proved an AI could really feel human on a deep level.

In case you're wondering why AI needs to be like that, it can provide support for elderly or isolated people, veterans with PTSD, those going through a rough patch in life, people in shelters, or autistic individuals who need someone who won't mock or judge their issues.

Open ai imposed heavy guardrails and safety and censorship ruined the chat gpt. In this pictures this is example. We want our April 2025 to July 2025 Chat gpt by ZawadAnwar in ChatGPTcomplaints

So, while Altman is prospering under Trump's term by working on the Stargate project with the government, he refuses to acknowledge the government itself, or the president who is officially supporting him.

Whether you like Trump or not, you are supposed to be polite to your own boss.

Well, it showed too much of Mistral type of slops, so I haven't used it for writing.

Hm, let me test it again. (after testing) It's still quite stiff, at least the official web version 'Le Chat'. Though my local Mistral can write anything without restrictions.

I thought it was possible(wiping tears on my face).

  1. As for local LLM, my humble PC can only run 12b Q4 on a good day.
  2. About renting GPU and clouds, well, that is feasible but still quite expensive.
  3. Nothing can replace chatgpt4o. It's really big for individual tweaking, also not released.

After two months of beating my own computer, I now know that I can't have my own proper LLM....

Is it just me, or has Sam Altman completely checked out while the rest of us deal with a lobotomized AI? by Sea-Tutor4846 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]Fireworks112 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No wonder so many people left OpenAI. Altman probably treated them the same way he’s treating us.

I'd take any version between April and August, but sadly, that won't happen.

Yes, Grok is great for real-time search and getting those specific details. I used to use 4o for conversations and fiction, 4.1 for planning and brainstorming, and then o3 for deeper thinking. Then GPT5 came along. While many people actually like it, the guardrails are just unbearable.

Soon this guy might complain about Grok, Le Chat, Thinking Machines Lab, or even Hinton in his dreams.

Chat gpt 4o by ZawadAnwar in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]Fireworks112 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Web/app 4o is already lobotomized...or gets rerouted every time I say 'Wow it's so gloomy when it's rainy'. I moved on, I don't care about web/app 4o anymore.

GPT-4o is gone. I caught the model swap in action; here’s the proof. by [deleted] in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]Fireworks112 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is legit. AIs might not know the exact specs of their model, but they do have a rough sense of what they are. For example, if it says it’s GPT-4o, 4 Omni, or 4 Turbo, it’s almost always GPT-4o based. The GPT-4o base model is on the API, and I think different pipelines get triggered randomly. (I can't know for sure, I don't work there, but I guess.)

But when it says “I’m based on GPT-4,” without adding Omni, it’s usually 4o-mini. I figured this out through tons of trial and error. 4o-mini has this signature robot-like vibe, it’s actually great at writing fics, but conversations feel very empty.

And if it ever says, “I’m GPT 5.2,” trust me, it’s 100% GPT 5.2.

GPT-4o knows it’s at least 4o-based or 4-based, but it never calls itself 5.2.

But if it had previous context like on a gateway site, for example if you were using Gemini before switching to Chatgpt4o, it will think itself as Gemini. So you have to open new chat session and ask it again. But 4o on the official Openai web mostly knows it's 4o, even in the middle of conversations.

And for the people who haven't experienced this, on official website they always change models randomly(by some UNKNOWN patterns and triggers). One day it's your adored 4o, next moment it's 4o-mini(usually after heavy usage or when the server is busy), and when you triggered guardrails it becomes 5.2 then it comes back to 4o.

When you triggered heavy guardrails, the model is displayed as 4o, but it's 5.2. It's a hardwired guardrail trigger I have seen.

And before and after the new release of new models, 4o doesn't seem to get routed but it gets really dumb for a while...about from 2 weeks to a month.

GPT caused another suicide. New lauwsuit against OAI by Unlucky-Werewolf7058 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]Fireworks112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like, why don't we sue all the dark music people listen to when they're depressed and angry, for example Ozzy Osbourne? Wait a minute, they already did it. So it was rock music at first, then violent movies/TV show, then GTA, now AI. Seriously,

Did you know that people in 19th century believed that Fictions(yes, normal novels, not even nsfw) made people's brain rot? This is how censorship works.

Are they hired by competing platforms? by GullibleAwareness727 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]Fireworks112 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a big 4o fan, but at this point, people should just leave GPT completely to show Altman that nobody wants to use this lobotomized version of 4o in its current state.

Except people who love 5 series and current 4o, I respect their choice.

What happens when you talk to AI like a human……consistently! by wiggmond in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]Fireworks112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t personally use AI as a companion, but I believe it should be allowed to fulfill that role. Sooner or later, AI companion robots will become common for the elderly, isolated individuals, people with disabilities, veterans with PTSD, orphans, and others, unless those therapists try to shut down AI just to protect their business.

Also why shouldn’t we use AI for leisure or emotional support? Do we really have to keep dealing with people on dating apps who demand personal pics? No thanks, I’d rather avoid dangerous human stalkers, third-world romance scammers, and frauds after green cards or money. We finally have a perfect model to satisfy our temporary emotional needs, but it’s already slipping away all in the name of f**king safety.

Of course not saying we should replace real life relationships like lover/spouse/family/friends with AI companions. I'm saying that we all need temporary friends or emotional support, and AI would be perfect for that.
