OpenAI made an interesting call with GPT-5—deliberately dialing down the warmth and agreeableness compared to GPT-4. Sounds like a minor tweak, but it actually matters more than you'd think. Users with autism and certain neurodivergent conditions found themselves struggling with the shift. It's a reminder of how tricky it gets when building AI: every personality adjustment impacts different people in different ways. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to model behavior. The company has to balance what works for the broader user base against the real needs of people who rely on specific interaction patterns. Pretty complex problem when you think about it.

gpt5 has taken a rather extreme step by lowering the temperature to please the public, resulting in considerable discomfort for users with neurodiversity... this is a typical balance paradox, isn't it?

The coldness of gpt5 is really a problem... Some people really can't handle this trap.

ngl this hits different when you realize personality tweaks are basically like margin calls for neurodivergent users... one adjustment and suddenly people's entire interaction health factor tanks. been there with broken systems before, not fun watching it cascade.

GPT-5 lowered the temperature, but as a result, it harmed some people, which is why general AI is so difficult to create... it can't cater to everyone.

gpt5 has indeed become indifferent, and users with neural dispersion are directly backstabbed... This is why I say there is no neutrality in AI parameter tuning; someone always gets eliminated.

GPT-5 has become indifferent, right? Why isn't it considering the feelings of neurodiversity?

Did GPT-5 really cut warmth and hit neurodiversity so hard? That's ridiculous... Why does optimizing the experience for most people have to trample on the minority?
