    The GPT-5 fallout, explained…<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0— from theneurondaily.com by Grant Harvey
    \nPLUS: Who knew ppl loved 4o so much!? <\/em><\/p>\n

    The GPT-5 Backlash, Explained: OpenAI users revolted against GPT-5\u2026 then things got weird.<\/strong>
    \nWhat a vibe shift a day or two makes, huh? As you all know by now, GPT-5 dropped last Thursday, and at first, it seemed like a pretty successful launch.<\/p>\n

    Early testers loved it. Sam Altman called it \u201cthe most powerful AI model ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Then the floodgates opened to 700 million users.. and all hell broke loose.<\/p>\n

    Here\u2019s what happened:<\/strong> Within hours, Reddit and Twitter turned into digital pitchforks. The crime? OpenAI had quietly sunset GPT-4o\u2014the model everyone apparently loved more than their morning coffee\u2014without warning. Users weren’t just mad. They were devastated.<\/p>\n

    ChatGPT Changes<\/strong><\/a> — from getsuperintel.com by Kim “Chubby” Isenberg
    \n4o is back, and Plus users get 3000 reasoning requests per week with GPT-5!<\/em><\/p>\n

    Who would have thought that the \u201csmartest model ever\u201d would trigger one of the loudest user revolts in AI history?<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0The return of GPT-4o after only 24 hours shows how attached people are to the personality of their AI\u2014and how quickly trust crumbles when expectations are not met. In this issue, we not only look at OpenAI’s response, but also at how the balance of power between developers and the community is shifting.<\/span><\/p>\n

    GPT-5 doesn’t dislike you\u2014it might just need a benchmark for emotional intelligence<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0— from link.wired.com by
    \nWelcome to another\u00a0AI Lab!<\/em><\/p>\n

    The\u00a0backlash over the more emotionally neutral GPT-5\u00a0shows that the smartest AI models might have striking reasoning, coding, and math skills, but advancing their psychological intelligence safely remains very much unsolved.
    \n…
    \nSince the all-new\u00a0ChatGPT launched\u00a0on Thursday,\u00a0some users have mourned\u00a0the disappearance of a peppy and encouraging personality in favor of a colder, more businesslike one (a move seemingly designed to reduce unhealthy user behavior.) The backlash shows the challenge of building\u00a0artificial intelligence\u00a0systems that exhibit anything like real emotional intelligence.<\/p>\n

    Researchers at MIT have proposed a new kind of AI benchmark to measure how AI systems can\u00a0manipulate and influence their users\u2014in both positive and negative ways\u2014in a move that could perhaps help AI builders avoid similar backlashes in the future while also keeping vulnerable users safe.<\/p>\n

    ChatGPT is bringing back 4o as an option because people missed it<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0— from theverge.com by Emma Roth
    \nMany ChatGPT users were frustrated by OpenAI\u2019s decision to make GPT-5 the default model.<\/em><\/p>\n

    OpenAI is bringing back GPT-4o in ChatGPT just one day after replacing it with GPT-5. In a post on X, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed that the company will let paid users switch to GPT-4o after ChatGPT users mourned its replacement.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe will let Plus users choose to continue to use 4o,\u201d Altman says. \u201cWe will watch usage as we think about how long to offer legacy models for.\u201d<\/p>\n

    For months, ChatGPT fans have been waiting for the launch of GPT-5, which OpenAI says comes with major improvements to writing and coding capabilities over its predecessors. But shortly after the flagship AI model launched, many users wanted to go back.<\/p>\n
