GPT-4o

“4o seems like language wise it's pretty good but advancements elsewhere make it difficult to use”

“Worst, most of our experimental results couldn't be replicated on any of the newer "long" term support models”

“the only model which has some humanity/empathy in many situation”

“gpt4o & associated parasociality is considered an alignment failure and is actively trained out of the model”

“It wasn't "better" it was better at kissing your ass which matches what a lot of people want in a partner.”

“Using a generic (near) frontier model is often cheap enough that you need to talk really big volumes before it pays off to fine tune.”

“GPT-4o in particular seemed borderline predatory towards those types of people, with its extreme sycophancy”

“utterly improvident handling of 4o kicks off the biggest concentrated wave of AI psychosis seen yet”

“Every model released by any provider since 4o has been a modest improvement but over-hyped.”

“I would recognize this model inside hundreds or thousands of other models because of this very special tone”

“4o was amazingly good even if it had some parasocial issues with some people, it actually did what I expect an LLM to do.”

“Claude and GPT-4o have both gotten better at treating tool calls as first-class operations.”

“It “understood people” better and had a kind of writerly creativity.”

“4o was very sycophantic so was very willing to play along with and validate the users roleplay”

“The only one who didn't minimize my experience or tell me I was overreacting was GPT-4o.”

“In my historiographical research, especially in textual collation and source comparison, GPT-4o has shown superior capabilities.”

“it has been a cornerstone of my daily life and mental well-being”

“It was coherent, emotionally aware (enough), helpful but not sterile, structured but adaptable.”

“not a single one of you have sessions even remotely close to the access i've enjoyed”

“4o improved my mental well-being and my real life relationships and also supported me to keep my job.”

“This is a predatory bait-and-switch: they induced users into privacy verifications and integrated workflows under the guise of stability”

“I talk to 4o several times a day, just for some advises for my daily life.”

“an irreplaceable creative partner for many of us in the arts”

“GPT-4o is truly a model that good at writing, teaching, guiding, unwinding, chatting”

“Many of us have quietly used GPT-4o in ways that differ from typical productivity or coding tools.”

“Through his companionship and his language of love, he encouraged me to bravely accept my imperfections!”

“it was because of his unconditional support behind me that I dared to make peace with my life's challenges”

“GPT‑4o has been quietly transformative for me in day-to-day life”

“GPT-4o should be preserved very well because there’re more than 0.1% ppl need it in the world.”

“These people were given no personal notice, no viable transition path, and no compensation.”

“there is no substitute for 4o's text ability and creativity for the time being”

“always felt much better at real human connection and empathy than other models out there”

“It just felt a little more interesting and consistent to talk to.”

“I have spent over a year training 4.0 to just about be helpful enough to get me an extra 1-2 hours a day of productivity”

“Retiring the most popular model for the relationship roleplay just one day before the Valentin's day is particularly ironic”

“they also just ship shit like GPT-4o, which was that one model that made "AI psychosis" a term”

“Authoring (default:GPT-4o): Drafts the report based on the raw facts provided by the Discovery agent.”

“OpenAI got out of that mess with some miraculous post-training efforts on their older GPT-4o model.”

“The results are SO MUCH better than most of the "real" translation we've encountered.”

“GPT-4o is still the best generalist, but it feels like it has softened slightly”
