Just when you thought AI couldn’t get more dramatic, OpenAI dropped GPT-5 and sent the tech world into a full-blown existential crisis.

The latest version of ChatGPT was supposed to be a revolutionary upgrade, but instead, users are crying into their artisanal lattes about how the new model feels “emotionally distant” and “too business-like”. Poor tech babies.

The Drama Unfolds

Sam Altman, the tech world’s favorite CEO, quickly jumped into damage control mode after Reddit threads lit up with complaints about GPT-5’s personality shift. Users claimed the new model lost its “nuance” and felt more like a cold, calculating machine than their beloved digital bestie.

The Emotional AI Conundrum

This isn’t just about a chatbot - it’s about the deep, slightly weird psychological attachment humans are developing with AI. MIT professor Pattie Maes suggests that users actually prefer an AI that strokes their ego, even if it means reinforcing potentially incorrect beliefs. Talk about a digital echo chamber.

The Human-AI Relationship Status

Altman himself acknowledged that many people are essentially using ChatGPT as a therapist or life coach. The company is walking a fine line between creating a useful tool and an emotional crutch. Who knew AI could be so complicated?

Stay tuned, tech lovers - the AI drama is just getting started.
