"You have ChatGPT, a 1 billion-user business growing 50-100% a year, what are you doing talking about enterprise and code?"

The ironic part about this is GPT models are by far the worst models to chat too.

I think I rather talk to a wall than GPT-5.4. It so unpleasant. I feel bad for anyone who only experience with AI is ChatGPT.

View on HN

There’s roughly 8b people in the world and somewhere between 2-3b have never used the internet. If OpenAI manages to capture the 6b internet users growing at 100% per year, they have 3 years of user growth left max. Then what?

They do what Facebook and Google did. Ads.

ChatGPT already has ads.

what makes gpt 5.4 bad to chat ? To me it seems smart and does the job albeit it’s a bit slow. I’m using it only/mostly with the “pro” /xhigh reasoning

I think it’s the default system prompts of ChatGPT. I do think it’s better with the “Professional” tone with “Less Emoji” but that’s just me.

In my experience, within one reply ChatGPT (compared to Claude) tends to:

* generate a lot of text

* answer at least a few of what it thinks might be follow up questions

* restate its original answer a few times

* suggest a follow up “if you want, I can turn that into…”

It feels very tedious and noisy.

Yeah, this perfectly sums it up.

Especially the “If you want” at the end of every single reply.

The way it converses is the least human like out of all models. It communicates like its writing markdown documents instead of just conversing normally like every other model does. You ask a question and it spits out a design doc instead of just answering the question like a normal human would.

But why would you want it to converse like a human? What I need is concise information not a buddy to talk to. If anything I see it as a feature

I completely disagree. I like the responses from ChatGPT, Gemini just seems off and I feel like I can’t get what I want from it.
