OpenAI is making GPT-5 "warmer".
Next step? Teaching it to give hugs. Translation: they're smoothing out AI even more to make it appealing. The danger is an AI reduced to a marketing product instead of a tool for intellectual confrontation. It's infantilizing.

Distrust of AI Assessment and Criticism of Social Media Moderation
By

I don't trust a GPT-5-level intellect to inform me of what is a "good question" or a "great start", so it's not helpful information to me. What bureaucratic insanity resulted in your Twitter account declaring that this was "not flattery"? Of course it's flattery.

Tunable AI systems as genuine science fiction premise beyond anthropomorphism
By
–
Also, as soon as you say "tunable" you've stepped outside the strictly-anthropomorphic-AI fics I considered boring. "Tunable" would be an actual SF premise. Even "clonable", really, though somehow the lesser story-writers didn't even consider that.

AI personality becomes key battleground for consumer AI development
By
–
As I predicted (and worried about) AI “personality“ is going to be the battleground for a lot of consumer Ai development. That appears to be the angle so for Grok, and the lesson OpenAI took from the backlash against retiring 4o. It may be consequential.
