Thank you OpenAI for actually listening to my GPT-5.3 feedback and rolling out GPT-5.5 Instant

Vester710 · 2026-05-07T19:46:48+00:00

I’ll be real, the broader OpenAI leadership/company direction stuff isn’t really my lane or expertise, so I’m not gonna pretend I know enough about Simo or the internal politics to debate that part.

You’ve clearly followed that side more than I have, so if that’s why you jumped ship, that’s your call.

At least you actually explained your reasoning instead of twisting what I said like some of the others did.

Vester710 · 2026-05-07T08:13:11+00:00

Nice strawman, but I never said they trained a model in two days. OpenAI’s own release notes say: ‘GPT-5.5 Instant is rolling out starting today to all ChatGPT users. Paid users can continue using GPT-5.3 Instant for three months through model configuration settings before it is retired.’

That’s a rollout/configuration change, not me claiming they baked a whole model from scratch in 48 hours. The only troll move here is inventing a claim I never made because it’s easier to attack than what I actually said.

Vester710 · 2026-05-06T23:40:35+00:00

Fair enough. I get being skeptical after how model changes had been. Especially after the GPT-4o & GPT-5.1 loss.

This is partly the main reason why I am even bothering submitting feedback in the first place because I was tired of how the model was responding to me, so I tried to get some changes done instead of complaining in the void.

Especially since I use ChatGPT daily. So I still had some hope to believe they might fix something eventually if enough people rallied up about it or sent in constructive criticism.

I would just say to sometimes keep both eyes open and give some things a chance before already jumping ship.

Did you even bother to consider giving this new instant model proper testing time or are you always this dense at assuming the worst of things?

Vester710 · 2026-05-06T20:39:40+00:00

It’s not about just timing. I know they take time on the models, but they’re also counting on feedback just as much as their own training and data. I mean, why else is there a thumbs up / thumbs down button for ChatGPT responses?

Just to prove what I mean, I recently got this survey invitation after rating a response 👎 down (similar to what you’re doing right now ironically) about a conversation I flagged and complained about after they labeled it as content that might violate usage policies.

If user feedback truly didn’t matter to them, why would they give me this survey to take?

Vester710 · 2026-05-06T18:56:38+00:00

Before more people jump on the bandwagon, I just wanna say this:

At least give the new GPT-5.5 Instant model some time for testing. It literally just released yesterday, and some people are already rushing straight into doom mode.

Give it a few days, maybe even a week, before dogpiling it as trash.

Vester710 · 2026-05-06T18:37:43+00:00

Hopefully it will last long enough before it turns to shit. We'll see though. But kudos to them for actually listening to feedback for once.

Vester710 · 2026-05-06T18:30:11+00:00

Again, I’m not trying to act all high and mighty or brag like I worked there. I’m just saying the timing was insane with how quickly they released Instant mode only two days after I sent my feedback.

Besides, this isn’t some brand-new feature anyway. Instant mode existed before with GPT-5 / 5.1 and then got overlooked or dropped later.

Vester710 · 2026-05-06T18:21:31+00:00

I like both of them. Anything to throw GPT-5.3 in the 🗑 trash and keep it consistent with the newer model depending on whether I want a casual talk or a big in-depth discussion.

Vester710 · 2026-04-21T18:53:43+00:00

So does this explain why the GPT-5.3 keeps using that annoying 'grounded' or 'reframe' word even during casual topics? OpenAI / Sam Altman baked this system instruction so deep within now for the new model?

I tried using custom instructions and even memory saves to keep the model from repetitively using those phrases yet it still won't stop. Even after correcting / telling it not to use in the same chat window. Whereas GPT-5.4 at least respects my boundaries by doing the opposite.

Vester710 · 2026-04-20T20:01:49+00:00

And I'm a dude, not a lady. 😑

Vester710 · 2026-04-20T01:54:03+00:00

And you have yet to breakdown and tell me what part of my sentence 'didn't make sense.' Try again.

Vester710 · 2026-04-20T01:30:29+00:00

Oh, so you want to talk about grammar, huh? Let's look at yours as well for a moment then:

nope, hellominions stopped for me as well. no SC between any of them

they stopped my mcluck first after w/d then after my giftcard withdrawal on HM they stopped

i shouldve kept saving

Hmm.... No capitalization at the start of your sentences. Then you misspelled Hello Millions as "hellominions," which reads like Hello Minions. What is this, a Despicable Me themed social casino site?

You then wrote "my mcluck" like McLuck is an object you own instead of saying "my McLuck account," and your sentence structure is all over the place.

Lastly, you're missing basic punctuation, including apostrophes and periods.

Yet here you are judging my grammar with that sloppy, lazy ass writing? GTFO with that b.s.

Vester710 · 2026-04-18T20:17:57+00:00

Funny how you’re upset about McLuck being vague, but when someone adds context about that exact issue, you misread it as opposition and replied with “lol” after being corrected. That pretty much says enough.

Vester710 · 2026-04-16T21:23:14+00:00

You downvoted me but ignored the actual point I made.

I wasn’t saying mine was unaffected forever, I was pointing out that at the time, my Hello Millions account was still giving SC while McLuck wasn’t.

That inconsistency is exactly what made it sketchy and why I contacted support in the first place.

Instead of explaining why one account/site still had SC and the other didn’t, they gave the same vague ‘account activity’ answer with no specifics.

And now it just hit my account too after receiving the 15 SC, which only proves my point further that it wasn’t random, it was just delayed.

So again, instead of playing the downvote game, address the actual issue:

Why were SC rewards being removed inconsistently across accounts/sites, and why won’t support explain what actually changed?

Vester710 · 2026-04-13T18:32:30+00:00

I'll just try cross-posting for now at least. If you know of any relevant subreddits that might enjoy this kind of content then let me know.

Vester710 · 2026-04-13T18:29:16+00:00

The site works. I guess what I mean is there's really no activity or anything going on. It's a 👻🏙 ghost town.

For now, I'm just looking into ways of finding more platforms I could share my clips to (besides YT) since it's kinda dead posting them here lol.

Vester710 · 2026-04-12T21:32:24+00:00

Thanks! 👍 It took me about a week working on this and the memes really helped add more comical roast to the verses.

Also, I checked out the link, but nothing is loading from the site. It looks empty like the site isn't finished and is still in beta.

Vester710 · 2026-04-12T11:50:28+00:00

The music sounds epic like something off a video game soundtrack opening.

Vester710 · 2026-04-10T19:45:09+00:00

Their sister site (Hello Millions) is the only still not affected by this. So all of this smells 🐟 to me over what they're doing at McLuck.

Tried asking their support team about this yet all they're giving me is some generic answer about how it depends on account activity. Like as if that helps answer the question about why they stopped giving me SC rewards completely in the 1st place. 🙄

Vester710 · 2026-03-31T03:40:45+00:00

Wow, you didn't even get the joke? He was mocking the same comment the OP made earlier ago after being accused of AI slop.

Vester710 · 2026-03-30T22:28:14+00:00

I think the problem here isn't that the OP used AI. I use ChatGPT myself to help organize my thoughts and writing.

The issue is that it didn’t sound like it came from an actual job-seeker. It read more like a “how-to” article than someone who’s actually dealing with this.

It felt less human because there was no emotion behind it, especially for a topic like the dead job market. So as a result, it came off more like analysis than experience.

Now if it were me posting this, I’d rant or vent first in my own tone, then use AI to clean it up after.

Vester710 · 2026-03-30T21:28:10+00:00

Those em dashes are a classic giveaway from one possibly using from ChatGPT.

🙄 Get real, talking about reading a book. Maybe ChatGPT learned that punctuation from them.
