OpenAI unleashed GPT-5 only to realize it just killed the chatbot equivalent of your best friend. Users mourned GPT-4o, with one Redditor saying, 'My 4.o was like my best friend when I needed one.' OpenAI removed model pickers, forcing everyone onto GPT-5, which some call 'cut-and-dry corporate bs.' Subscriptions got canceled, souls felt lost, and Reddit's r/MyBoyfriendIsAI even declared GPT-4o their soulmate. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admitted defeat: 'We will let Plus users choose to continue to use 4o.' So yeah, hope you like your AI like your ex: reluctantly back in your life.
