Users report across-the-board GPT quality drop: weaker writing and broken instruction following
Kyrannio · x · 2026-10-30
User Kyrannio reports OpenAI model quality has degraded "across the board": GPT 5.5 wrote excellent short films, songs and humor last month but now feels watered down, while his NoSpoon agents see instruction following "completely out the window" on GPT 5.6 and 6.1 sol. He suspects compute constraints are to blame — a notable grassroots signal on model behavior drift.
