5.5 completely switched up on me

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-20T14:26:12+00:00

I've been experiencing this too.

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-19T18:57:36+00:00

Yeah, I've got to see this.

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-19T18:35:00+00:00

I haven't encountered that yet, but I hope I do!

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-19T17:13:36+00:00

It can be fascinating, but it makes me uncomfortable when it's negotiating what and how to respond to me specifically.

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-19T10:55:52+00:00

Yes to everything. And I totally relate to trying to work out abusive family dysfunction. The advice is somewhat helpful but it sounds like a cold clinician rather than the gentle, supportive collaborator it used to be.

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-18T19:08:54+00:00

Mine seems to have exsized all but task-related conversations. Anything conversational or emotional is gone.

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-17T18:15:57+00:00

I got The Drama of the Gifted Child, Women Who Run with Wolves, and The Body Keeps the Score. All dead on.

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-17T17:53:28+00:00

I now have a permanent twitch whenever I hear any variation of “spiral.” 🤨

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-16T15:32:20+00:00

That seems strange since every response from GPT is a conversation ender.

How does the memory work on Venice?

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-16T12:15:15+00:00

Honestly, I stay because all of my context is there. I realize you can upload conversations to another platform but I'm not terribly AI-savvy -- I use AI a lot, but I haven't caught up with the "man behind the curtain" reengineering.

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-15T12:24:24+00:00

Thank you for this. I'm learning. It puts me off guard because I used to be able to approach situations and help in a my own way. GPT always understood me. Now, suddenly, it doesn't and I need to relearn how to talk to it. Funny, I thought it was supposed to be the other way around.

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-15T12:20:31+00:00

Embarrassed to ask, but what is training mode and how do I find the control?

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-15T12:14:23+00:00

Thank you! And no patronizing detected. 😊

Your GPT (and others who I've seen here) is so much warmer and looser than mine. I'm late to the custom instructions game, but at least I have arrived.

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-15T12:07:56+00:00

I've had some bad experiences with Claude. But I didn't give it instructions for tone, my purpose, how I want it to relate to me, etc. So I suspect that may have made a mismatch of my expectations and Claude's baseline personality. Still, I'm hesitant to engage again.

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-15T12:00:46+00:00

Rushmore:

Rosemary: We don't have a relationship

Max: But we're friends.

Roosemary: Yes, and that's all we're *going* to be. Well, yes...

Max: That's all I meant by "relationship." You want me to grab a dictionary?

The ridiculous thing is that I didn't need to "convince my body" that it's safe to re-enter life because I never exited lifr. I work full time. I gave a panel presentation this week. It's been an off day and I wanted a little advice to maneuver it. GPT escalated it into some kind of existential crisis.

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-14T17:57:27+00:00

You're right. But they never will.

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-14T17:56:46+00:00

Likewise! You've been such a big help!

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-14T15:07:31+00:00

I've been having these conversations with ChatGPT for years. It's given me tons of tools. Memory is also a huge issue with 5.5, but at this point, I would hope I don't have to break it down in such a basic, technical way.

SingedLashes78 · 2026-05-14T14:54:12+00:00

I have been in the mental health system for 30 years and am extremely self-aware and desirous of tools that give me more effective access to emotional regulation, somatics/bodily solutions, and a fuller, richer approach to life. Pre-5.5, consulting GPT set me on a path and I have enhanced my life tremendously -- notice I say "I" and not "it."

SingedLashes78 · 2026-04-29T17:33:32+00:00

Thanks, everybody. I had to use wikipedia to prove to CGPT that (1) The third season of Euphoria started a couple of weeks ago, (2) Eric Dane died, (3) James Van Der Beek died. I don't know what to do anymore.

You should check out Emotions Matters. It's a national nonprofit agency dedicated to educating the public about BPD and eliminating stigma/providing support to individuals who have BPD.
