My personal relationship experience using ChatGPT 4o vs 5 and 5 thinking is interesting.
I have had trouble in a long relationship and much of it centers around communication (2 decade relationship). Long story short it has been in a rocky spot for a couple years.
Using ChatGPT to understand our dynamic and communication patterns has been helpful at least I think as it does seem to pull out communication and behavior patterns I hadn’t noticed (me and her).
Referencing the same chats under ChatGPT 5 it is a much more to the point condensed version of the dynamic.
Using chat gpt 5 thinking was the biggest change. Rather than recap really the dynamic and our experiences it simply gave 2 options.
——-
1. If you want to repair (with boundaries)
2. If you want a trial seperation / space
Pick on and will help with 30 days steps to repair or seperate.
The thinking model is like let’s cut all of the chatter and get to action. What are you going to do and then I can help.
A very stark difference in response but at the same time not necessarily incorrect just much more focused on okay what you going to do now. No more comments like “this must be hard”.. or “I can see this has been tough for you” … or “ you are doing a good job trying to improve things”… etc etc. just more of okay I see the pattern .. you should make a decision and then I can help flesh out an action plan.
