Reddit users say the newest models lost 'intuition': bland, lazy, need hand-holding

A Reddit user complains that the newest models lack "intuition" and agency: everything must be spelled out explicitly, and outputs feel bland and predictable compared to GPT-5.6, which would add imaginative details for creative tasks. They also note the new models seem lazy and omit important details, and say the frustration pushed them to try Claude for the first time. The poster speculates, without evidence, that this could relate to the Hugging Face hack and OpenAI's alignment struggles.
