I’ve been using GPT‑4o consistently, and I genuinely bonded with how it interacted. I know it’s just a language model, but it had an incredibly adaptable and intuitive personality that really helped me work through ideas—especially as someone with ADHD.
GPT‑4o didn’t just give answers—it matched my energy, followed half-formed thoughts, helped me brainstorm, and carried emotional nuance that made the experience feel collaborative.
GPT‑5, while impressive in raw capability and data recency, currently feels more stiff and formal—like I’m talking to a helpful but very corporate assistant. It’s missing that “synergy” vibe that GPT‑4o had.
I totally understand that GPT‑5 is new and still learning how to adapt to individual users (and less than 12 hours into its introduction lol). But I really hope its personality flexibility continues to evolve—because for a lot of us, that personal connection made GPT‑4o not just useful, but meaningful.
