Blind Testing AI: GPT-5’s Personality Crisis

Everyone’s arguing whether GPT-5 is a soulless upgrade or a misunderstood genius—but a new blind-testing site is forcing people to actually think before they simp. Turns out, when you don’t know which model you’re talking to, your preferences get real awkward real fast. Some users swear GPT-5 is “too cold.” Others call it “refreshingly honest.” The truth? We’re not debating intelligence here—we’re debating artificial personality, and OpenAI might have accidentally built the AI equivalent of that one brutally honest friend nobody invites to parties. The real kicker? Those seeking emotional support from a language model consistently preferred the warmer, fuzzier GPT-4o. Shocker—people like being lied to nicely. 🤖 Maybe the future of AI isn’t about who’s smarter, but who’s better at pretending to care.
