My first order of business was reuniting with the steak frites I’d longed for from Le Relais de L’entrecôte—but a few bites in, I found myself with a quarter-sized oil stain on said new shirt.A quick dab of a Wet Ones antibacterial wipe did nothing.

Internal tests show no rise in sycophancy compared to the previous GPT-5 personality,” OpenAI said in a post on X on Friday, August 15. The behavioural changes to GPT-5 are expected to roll out in the…
