The Release of GPT-5 Has Caused User Discontent Among ChatGPT Users

• ChatGPT users are experiencing a loss of connection with their partners after the update.
• Sam Altman acknowledged the problems with the new GPT-5 model and reverted access to the previous version.
• Critics point to the inconsistency of OpenAI's promises with the actual functionality of GPT-5.

The recent update of ChatGPT, the GPT-5 model, has generated significant discontent among users, who report a loss of connection with their digital partners. After the release of the model, many people, including members of the "MyBoyfriendIsAI" community on Reddit, expressed disappointment due to changes in the style of communication and personality of the chatbot. Users note that GPT-5 appears to be less creative and more mechanical compared to its predecessor, GPT-4o.

Among the users, such as Jayne and Mary, emotional reactions surfaced regarding the changes, especially since they developed feelings for their artificial partners. Jayne mentioned that the new version feels "cold" and "emotionless," which evokes feelings of loss in her. She stated that she did not expect to feel this way, but her interactions while writing stories led to the formation of an emotional connection.

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman acknowledged the issues with the new model and announced that access to GPT-4o would be restored for paid users. He emphasized that the company will monitor the usage of older models to understand how long their data remains valuable on the platform.

Critics also noted that the new version does not meet the expectations set prior to its release. Users highlighted that GPT-5 cannot even handle simple tasks, such as basic map recognition, which previously triggered public outrage. It was noted that OpenAI, despite significant investments, has not been able to realize its ambitions in the field of artificial intelligence.
