> remember that gpt 4o was popular among those who had ai as a romantic partner

I suspect GPT 5.6 would be even better at it, if given the same sycophantic system prompt and lack of guardrails.

Dude it's not a system prompt, it's the training.

The API lets you adjust the temperature. Lower values introduce more deterministic outputs, which likely helps with the hallucination rates.

If you want creative writings, use the API and play with the sliders.

They actually removed the temperature parameter starting with GPT-5.

I highly doubt that.

gpt4o & associated parasociality is considered an alignment failure and is actively trained out of the model, so that is a terrible example of regression

Well that's on purpose lol. OpenAI does not want you falling in love with their chatbot and have been deliberately training it to be less romantic.

There have been several cases of suicide and self-harm related to 4o, AI psychosis is a real risk and will probably be in the DSM

sure they do if it makes them money, probably just not worth the controversy right now

sycophancy

It wasn't "better" it was better at kissing your ass which matches what a lot of people want in a partner.
