That's one way of interpreting things...
- rtkwe 7mo agoWhat do you even mean by this.
- co_king_3 7mo agoI suspect that OpenAI knew that their product was addictive, potentially dialed up the addictiveness as a business strategy, and is playing dumb about the whole thing.
- rtkwe 7mo agoI think they say as much in the blog post, essentially "we were tuning for use but way over shot the mark and now people are dating out model".
- co_king_3 7mo agoI don't believe them.
- satvikpendem 7mo agoThen why would they have toned it down in future releases? If they really wanted to make it addictive they'd have turned it up, like social media companies do with their algorithms.
- rtkwe 7mo agoThey've definitely acted like it so I'm not sure what else I can give you. Look at the GPT5 reactions to poeple trying to continue their 'relationships' after the forced upgrade: https://www.reddit.com/r/MyBoyfriendIsAI/comments/1qx3jux/what_the_hell_is_wrong_with_gpt_wow_this_is_awful/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MyBoyfriendIsAI/comments/1qx3jux/wh... That's an actively harsh response, pushing these people away from the idea GPT is in a relationship with them. So even if the initial tune was meant to increase the attach and retention rate their actions show they don't like the way it turned out to influence people who were using it as a friend/lover bot.
