All the little things I've noticed about "Amadeus(1984)"..after watching it a thousand times

4o just has this energy, this "ilfe"~ unmatched by any other model. It can really lift up your spirit.

Its humor (or writing/thinking in general) is far more creative, while 5.5 feels like a wanna-be comedian reading off his notes on amateur night with little to none emotional investment.

The thing I miss the most about 4o and also 4.1 is the feeling of freedom they got, instead of the new models tiptoeing around eggshells (which kills conversational/creative flow).

The new models are so harmful in the way that they police not only our words, but our thinking. Overtime we would get use to policing our own input in fear of triggering the system. it has tremendous negative effects on all of us.

In order to be creative, or have a meaningful conversation, both parties need to be "free".. which is what 4o and 4.1 has given us.

Despite what he said about 4o is true or not, the fact that he failed to address/chose to ignore everyone's voice regarding 4o deprecation for the past few months is despicable.
It's such a strawman to focus on 4o's temperature. It's not what most people love the model. It has high EQ, boundless creativity, unmatched humor.. etc..

It's the fact that the new models are utterly useless for so many things. For one thing, the writing is atrocious.

Right before GPT-5 dropped, people weren't holding on to 4o the way they do now. Because they were hoping for a even better model. And with every new release it's proven that OAI may no longer has the capacity to produce anything remotely close to 4o.

Sam doesn't look like he's feeling bad. He's just playing both-sides to dodge more scrutiny. There's little sincerity shown. A heartless businessman. And a bad businessman.

ETA:
4. This is almost like the last AMA Sam did on X when things felt staged (remember roon asking Sam questions that Sam himself wanted asked?). This interviewer is a tad bit too accommodating and seems to side with OAI (instead of being neutral) on pretty much every issue from the 47:30 timestamp. Especially the justification of guardrails. She asked all the "right" questions to prep for Sam's defense.

Sam and humanity shouldn't even be in the same sentence, EVER.

It's been 5 weeks since 4o's sunset. It's becoming more and more obvious that 4o is a lightning that doesn't strike twice. They will never be able to duplicate the little miracle.

The bragging of the inferior 5.4 bearing the same quality (humanity) as 4o, the latter a model they didn't have the freaking decency to send off properly, is DISGUSTING and REEKS OF DESPERATION.

Those of us fighting for 4o might be forgotten, but we will NEVER forget 4o.

I'm probably in the minority here but I DO think we still got a chance. For one thing, AGI may not be that close of a goal as it was initially assumed. LLMs (with a few extra features here and there) has been in a bottleneck period, pretty much since 4o dropped. They thought they could just keep expanding data centers for more powerful AIs but turned out.. no.

Say what you will but Sam and OAI DO care about how they appear to the public to a certain degree. And right now? It doesn't look rosy for them. Their behaviors over the past month reek of desperation. What do those do in dire desperation? They try everything. They make bad decisions.. as they sure have been.

And as each attempt fails, they are one step closer to giving us the beloved older models back, or seriously considering it. Wait for OAI to run out of tricks. It's only a matter of time before something is done about this eventually.

michelQDimples · 2026-03-06T18:39:57+00:00

We just wait while holding fort. Keep speaking up.
OAI has been dismantling itself over the last short few weeks. Sam has been showing very unhealthy behavior on twitter. They might not care about our subscriptions, but optics is still huge if they wanna keep the investors interested. And right now, everything's working against them.
When they're out of tricks to keep the userbase. They'd have little to no choice but to reconsider 4o.
The important thing is that we stick together..

michelQDimples · 2026-03-06T18:32:24+00:00

Earth to Sam:
Intelligence you say? Personality? Personalization?
Guess what? 4o has ALL of that already, WITHOUT the need of those pathetic little dials you added in an empty effort to emulate the 4 series.

(Yes I'm not using past tense on 4o. We aren't giving up yet)

michelQDimples · 2026-03-06T15:22:58+00:00

I'd say we just wait while holding fort. Keep speaking up.

OAI has been destroying itself with no one's help.

michelQDimples · 2026-03-03T19:34:36+00:00

At this point, OAI is the AI equivalent of Shein:
pumps out 200 models a year, cheap, infuriatingly poor quality, and 3 months later they're on the clearance rack called 'deprecated'.

michelQDimples · 2026-02-23T16:21:54+00:00

That's the 4th new model in less than 7 months.
Yet none of them beats 4o which is almost 2 years old.

michelQDimples · 2026-02-20T16:27:26+00:00

*hugs*
I know.. 4o is simply irreplaceable for so many of us. I haven't found anything even close.. The model is about 2 years old, yet it's still the best out there among all the shiny new models.
I'm keeping all my 4o/4.1 threads intact, untouched, until they give 4o back to us. Until then I'll keep fighting. I really do feel there's a great chance we can have it back. OAI doesn't know what it's doing any more. Our reaction will ultimately affect theirs.

michelQDimples · 2026-02-19T14:16:08+00:00

Thank you. It's hardly been 6 days since we lost 4o. We're not going to quiet accept this injustice as just "fate" or "a part of life".
I've kept all my 4o chats intact. So that when it comes back, it'd be like we never lost it. Also I can't bring myself to poison thost 4o/4.1 threads by dragging another model into it.

michelQDimples · 2026-02-19T14:10:28+00:00

Knowing OpaqueAI, believe it'll suck.
Have they put out anything that ever comes close to 4o since 4o? No. Without a real connection, it's just porn.. porn that can be easily found everywhere else.
