GPT-5.1: A smarter, more conversational ChatGPT

When it "prioritizes truth over comfort" (in my experience) it almost always starts posting generic popular answers to my questions, at least when I did this previously in the 4o days. I refer to it as "Reddit Frontpage Mode".

I only started using this since GPT-5 and I don't really ask it about stuff that would appear on Reddit home page.

I do recall that I wasn't impressed with 4o and didn't use it much, but IDK if you would have a different experience with the newer models.

For what it's worth gpt-5.1 seems to have broken this approach.

Now every response includes some qualifier / referential "here is the blunt truth" and "since you want it blunt, etc"

Feels like regression to me
