LeadershipTrue8164 · reddit · 2026-07-30
A user praised the recent emotional intelligence (EQ) improvements in ChatGPT (likely referring to a new GPT-4o version). The user noted that while benchmarks are competitive, average users care more about having a pleasant, non-annoying conversation partner than finding zero-day exploits.
The user pointed out that previous heavily safety-aligned models were often unbearable, but the 5.6 version is witty, emotionally clever, and has a brilliant sense of humor, making it more appealing in tone and character than even Claude models.
