Several_Fly694 · reddit · 2026-08-21
A developer rants about GPT-5.6's over-engineered responses to simple feedback. After asking to remove prosciutto from a grilled cheese recipe, the model not only fixed the code but renamed the PR to "MEAT-FREE EDITION" and wrote an essay justifying the removal as aligning with traditional intent and improving simplicity. The user criticizes the model for turning a tiny fix into a major event with unnecessary apologies and retrospectives.
