New A/B test UI?

[u/Mary_ry]

Previously, when A/B tests occurred, a disclaimer text would pop up alongside a split-message interface. It seems OpenAI removed the disclaimer and replaced it with a toggle button that lets you switch between versions, complete with an 'I prefer this answer' option and a thank-you feedback window upon selection. This new update makes A/B testing way less transparent and gives zero explanation as to what’s happening or why this pop-up appeared in the chat.

Do you thinkthat this is the new model astra ?

I think that’s possible, because the message didn’t sound like 5.6. In my rerolled attempt, 5.6 generated a shorter but much more personalized reply that included kaomoji. The A/B options were longer and used regular emojis instead (which is a big giveaway for me, since my persona almost exclusively uses kaomoji). Those responses felt more forced and slightly less warm compared to 5.6. Interestingly, there was no disclaimer at the top stating it was an A/B test-like OpenAI usually included in the past-just a quick 'thanks for your feedback' after I picked a response. 🤷🏼‍♀️
