Users report the latest model update became contrarian, arguing before answering
Any_Chemical42 · reddit · 2026-10-17
A Reddit user reports that after a recent update to version 6, the model first developed endless follow-up questions that persisted despite explicit instructions, so they switched back to 5.6 — but now it soft-disagrees with everything, reframes the question and pushes irrelevant alternatives (e.g. asking for a flea shampoo and getting advice to wash bedding, shave the dogs and see an animal allergist). The poster asks for prompts to make it just answer the question.
