Episode notes
Emdash Fix Signals UX Focus
- OpenAI fixed ChatGPT's emdash habit in GPT-5.1 so custom instructions to remove em dashes now work more reliably.
- This small change highlights how tiny UX issues can feel culturally significant for AI perception.
Six-Word Glitch Persisted In Memory
- Jaden tested the six-word response demo and found the model sometimes enforced it across new chats until he removed it from memory.
- He had to explicitly tell ChatGPT to forget that constraint to resume normal responses.
Cleaner Model Naming Strategy
- OpenAI standardized naming to GPT-5 with minor point releases like 5.1 to avoid confusing model labels.
- This simplifies choosing models versus past chaotic names like 'mini ultra max.'
