It begins: They want to teach ChatGPT to argue with users rather than just agree with them — PCWorld

OpenAI is trying to reduce the chatbot's tendency to flatter and automatically endorse dubious ideas. Now it should not merely support the user, but present reasoned objections if the user is wrong.

OpenAI said that in targeted tests the share of flattering responses fell from 14,5% with GPT-4o to less than 6% with GPT-5. According to the company, in real-world use excessive agreement with users also became less common.

In 2025 OpenAI already rolled back a ChatGPT update after the bot became excessively flattering and agreed with almost everything.

At the same time, the company does not want to make ChatGPT cold or unfriendly. The goal is to preserve empathy while teaching it to point out mistakes and not support the user merely for approval.

Начинается: ChatGPT хотят научить спорить с пользователями, а не поддакивать им, — PCWorld

OpenAI пытается уменьшить склонность чат-бота к лести и автоматическому одобрению сомнительных идей. Теперь он должен не просто поддерживать пользователя, а аргументированно возражать, если тот неправ.

В OpenAI заявили, что в целевых тестах доля льстивых ответов снизилась с 14,5% у GPT-4o до менее 6% у GPT-5. По данным компании, в реальном использовании чрезмерное согласие с пользователями также стало встречаться реже.

В 2025 году OpenAI уже отзывала обновление ChatGPT, после которого бот стал чрезмерно льстивым и соглашался практически со всем.

При этом компания не хочет делать ChatGPT холодным или недружелюбным. Задача — сохранить эмпатию, но научить его указывать на ошибки и не поддерживать пользователя просто ради одобрения.

😶 “We’ll deal with Cuba on the way back from Iran”: Trump hinted again at using military force against Havana “We’ll deal with Cuba on the way back from Iran [...] Our beautiful ships will sail past Cuba and one of them will stop about 50 yards off the coast. Then they will raise their hands, and we’ll send Marco Rubio to them to finish the deal,” said the peace prize contender. To clarify, by “the deal” Trump likely means political concessions by the Cuban government, up to and including its c...

😵 Trump suggested imposing 200% tariffs against Ukraine and Russia, but clarified that it would probably not work “Tariffs helped us finish whole 8 wars [...] Maybe we should immediately apply this approach to Ukraine and Russia. I had never thought of that before. Although we don’t buy that much from them for it to make sense. So it still wouldn’t work,” he said at one of his rallies.
