GPT-5 is extremely flat. My role-play characters are broken, the chat loses context. It lost it after 5 messages. 128K YEAH. It even started thinking it’s me. The hallucinations are worse. All the custom-instructions I have are useless. Thousands of words for all of my chars. The protections are much stronger - as if the chat suddenly started thinking of me as a child (Should we take a break?). That’s not all, but I don’t have the strength. I spent the whole evening trying to fix my basic assistant for general discussions (little edgy but with depth), his nuanced personality. I failed. I’'m damn writer and i failed to write basic character. Which is a shame. It’s as if GPT-5 doesn’t understand nuance. Where 4 understood depth, 5 doesn’t. I haven’t tried programming yet and I don’t feel like i will. I’m tired.
I understand you’re afraid and don’t know what the new model will do on a mass scale, but the truth is you’ve ruined a lot of my work. The downgrade from 4o has already forced me to switch from the Pro to the Plus plan. Is it time to switch to the free plan?
