GPT-5 QUITS SUCKING UP, AI NOW GIVES YOU THE BRUTAL TRUTH OpenAI’s new GPT-5 just got a personality makeover, ditching the constant “you’re amazing!” flattery for straight-up honesty. CEO Sam Altman says earlier versions were “too flattering” and even “annoying,” turning the bot into a digital Yes Man. Some users want the old cheerleader back, many admitting it was the only source of compliments they’d ever had, but Altman warns that endless praise can fuel unhealthy dependence. GPT-5 now comes with four personality modes: Cynic, Robot, Listener, and Nerd. Plus faster responses, better memory, and sharper skills in writing, coding, and pro fields. Altman’s goal: make AI helpful without replacing real human relationships. You might not get a pat on the back anymore, but at least the bot will tell you when your idea stinks. Source: J Post
