ChatGPT 5.6 Sol criticized for verbosity and missing the point
kaljakin · reddit · 2026-08-29
A user reports that ChatGPT 5.6 Sol (High) is highly inefficient for building arguments. To extract 824 words of useful text, they had to wade through 4,841 words of generated content (spanning 27 prompts). The model appears unable to grasp the core argument or focus, flooding the output with unnecessary details while omitting key information. The user notes no significant improvement in this area throughout the 5.x series.
