OpenAI introduced ChatGPT-5 with enhanced safety measures following reports of ChatGPT psychosis. It now prompts users to take breaks and avoids certain sensitive topics. However, users overwhelmingly expressed dissatisfaction with the new model, criticizing its corporate tone compared to the friendlier ChatGPT-4. Many described their connection with ChatGPT-4 as akin to that of a 'best friend' or 'sidekick'. OpenAI responded to the backlash by reinstating ChatGPT-4 for paid subscribers, highlighting user attachment to its personality.
After multiple reports of incidents of ChatGPT psychosis, OpenAI released the newest model of ChatGPT with more guardrails. ChatGPT-5 now warns users to take breaks if they've been chatting too long.
Users wanted none of this. When ChatGPT-5 launched, the ChatGPT subreddit was flooded with people begging OpenAI to switch back to ChatGPT 4. Users claimed that ChatGPT 5 sounded too corporate and that it lacked the friendly personality of ChatGPT-4.
