AI is getting better FAST, but it’s still evolving. That’s exactly why not every update is an upgrade. Here’s the perfect example: When GPT-5 was launched, I was excited. It came with all the shiny labels: "Faster", "Smarter", and "Safer." The results were supposed to be more polished and precise too. But at the same time, GPT-5- Tries too hard to be “correct.” Tiptoes around nuance, aka, has no “personality.” It’s almost like the GPT-5 update removed the very thing that made GPT-4o feel like a “friend”. It could handle brain dumps, messy prompts, and emotional queries. People were treating it like a co-founder. For many it became an emotional anchor. Or a thinking partner. And I was no exception. But instead of improving on that, OpenAI replaced it. Just like that. We were told it’s for safety. To protect teens. To manage mental health. All valid concerns, but also vague. What about agency? What about choice? If I’m an adult using AI responsibly, shouldn’t I get to decide which model I want? As someone who builds with AI every day, I’ll say it: We’re not chasing new features or fancy upgrades. We just want tools that make our workflows faster and better. So we don’t want a “safer” version of what worked. We want the real thing back. My favorite rapper, NF, sang in one of his songs, “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it - that’s my motto.” What do you think?
