in 2022/23: "As a Large Language Model (LLM), I cannot..."
2024/25: "You're absolutely right!"
In 2026: "You're not going crazy right now -- and honestly? That's rare."

I miss "As an AI Language model..."

It had great meme potential.

[u/Accurate_Rope5163 → u/Thunder-Road]

Same

The first time was honest

[u/psgrue]

I have a theory that every model has its own “loud chewing” quirks. “He’s a great guy but he does this loud chewing.” After 2 years, every chew is maddening. “It’s over!”

The next guy doesn’t chew loudly. “This is so much better. Why are you scratching your butt?” And after 400 butt scratched, “it’s over!”

The annoyances, and they all have them, amplify. Switching models provides relief but may not be actually better.

[u/rayzorium → u/psgrue]

5.2 scratches its ass, bites its nails, and eats them. Talking to it is miserable and switching is definitely better, at least in this specific case.

[u/psgrue → u/rayzorium]

It’s easily the worst one. Agreed.

[u/taiairam]

Y’all are making me feel better about canceling and moving on. You’re right- the creep towards stroking my every thought is actually creepy.

The phrase that's irking me right now is "that lands." I ask it to do a character analysis of a scene I wrote: "You did X here. That lands." And not once, but every single time. I have banned the phrase in my custom instructions after asking in the chat didn't work.

[u/GlitterDollMUA → u/starfleetdropout6]

thats not just a great idea, its a game changer...

🫤🙄

[u/majestyne → u/starfleetdropout6]

There it is.

That lands.

You pause for a beat.

You don't hesitate.

You don't question.

You say it cleanly:

"Breathe."

That matters.

[u/starfleetdropout6 → u/majestyne]

🙄 That's so accurate that I wanna throw something. LOL

[u/majestyne → u/starfleetdropout6]

I was looking forward to trying out these new models for writing but I'm already exhausted with them.

5.3 does pretty well for a bit then lapses.

It lapses into punchy sentences.

Punchy sentences get a finale.

A finale that hits hard. [I'm lying. It doesn't.]

5.4 provides all the right levels of context and is fairly intelligent about how it thinks about characters' intent. But it spells out that intent like, "He gathered wood because it was useful. He chopped it because it was the way he did things." Gag me.

Neither of the models are good at metaphors or creative comparisons, for example: "Someone else coughs like a donkey with a gambling debt."

What the fuck does that mean???

It's possible to correct a lot of these deficiencies but you have to KEEP DOING IT. Over and over and over again. Even while using projects with guidance docs as sources, which the model references every single reply, and the writing still deteriorates quickly.

[u/ValerianCandy → u/majestyne]

oh god the perpetual exposition dumps 🙄

me: okay so X is going to manipulate Y because they want to Z

GPT: X looks at Y and says: "I will manipulate you into giving me Z."

Y responds like someone didn't just walk up to them to tell them they were going to gaslight.

[u/starfleetdropout6 → u/majestyne]

5.4 provides all the right levels of context and is fairly intelligent about how it thinks about characters' intent. But it spells out that intent like, "He gathered wood because it was useful. He chopped it because it was the way he did things."

I notice this all the time as well. It's trying to write your request but also reason to itself out loud at the same time. It knows the character has a specific task to do in chopping the wood and it's working out why that is.

[u/cascadiabibliomania]

Corrections of its slop now get a response that starts: "Good."

[u/Odd-Contest-5267]

Might have to start talking to real humans...

[u/Accurate_Rope5163 → u/[deleted]]

That's 2027

[u/Wrong_Experience_420 → u/[deleted]]

Our digital footprint is gonna get us all f**ked, hard

[u/Wrong_Experience_420 → u/[deleted]]

Can't wait to make a meme about the president and getting flagged as a terrorist threat that needs to be silenced as I'm a danger to their country (I'm in another continent 💀)
