I played around with it a bit last night and prefer the new “personality.” The last one talked to you like a kindergarten teacher. If I’m desperate enough to ask an AI for something I don’t want to be buttered up, I want a simple, clear answer and links to the documentation I was trying and failing to find.
I miss the days when search engines would just give you the links you were looking for. I don’t like this.
I suspect that’s why users are complaining about the new model. It’s like the article talks about - the parasocial relationship between users and their AI agents. We grew up in an era when computers were tools, but these users want computers that talk to you like a friend.
