OpenAI made GPT-5 kinder

OpenAI has announced an update to GPT-5 that will make the model "warmer and friendlier." The company explained that the changes will be aimed at making users feel more comfortable interacting with AI.

The updated version of GPT-5 has received small "human touches" like phrases like "Good question" or "Good start." The company emphasized that these details are not flattery and do not lead to "servility", the indicators of which remained at the level of the previous GPT-5 personality.

The move was in response to criticism after the model was launched. Some users noted that the previous GPT-4o seemed more convenient and pleasant to communicate with. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admitted that the launch of GPT-5 was "a little more difficult than expected."
