GPT-5 launch replaces GPT-4o across ChatGPT

OpenAI rolled out GPT-5 to all ChatGPT users, removing the model picker and setting GPT-5 as the default for Plus subscribers.

Users report decline in quality and personality

Many users claimed GPT-5 felt less creative, less warm, and delivered shorter, less nuanced answers compared to GPT-4o.

Community backlash pushes for GPT-4o’s return

Reddit threads and social media posts poured in, with some users describing GPT-4o as a “friend” and threatening to cancel subscriptions without it.

OpenAI restores GPT-4o for Plus subscribers

Within a day, OpenAI announced Plus users could once again choose GPT-4o, while monitoring usage to decide its future availability.

Altman promises more personalization options

CEO Sam Altman acknowledged the feedback, saying personalization and choice will be a priority for future ChatGPT updates.

Speedy deletion gets an AI-focused upgrade

Wikipedia has expanded its “speedy deletion” policy so administrators can now immediately remove articles with unmistakable signs of AI authorship—skipping the usual week-long review—such as prompts ("Here is your Wikipedia article on…") or AI disclaimers (“as a large language model…”).

Blatant errors trigger fast removal

Articles containing fabricated or nonsensical citations like referencing a study about beetles in a computer science entry also qualify for speedy deletion under the updated criteria.

WikiProject AI Cleanup leads the fight

Started in 2023, the volunteer-run WikiProject AI Cleanup has developed guides to spot AI slop identifying stylistic red flags like overused em-dashes, promotional tone, curly quotes, or rushed structure. It curates a list of suspect pages for review.

Marshall Miller of the Wikimedia Foundation describes these volunteers as Wikipedia’s “immune system,” adapting quickly to remove low-quality AI content and protect the encyclopedia’s reputation.

Foundation supports human oversight, explores helpful tools

While a mid-2025 initiative for AI-generated summaries was halted after community backlash, the Foundation is still exploring supportive tools like Edit Check that alert new contributors to missing citations or prompt them to confirm pasted content authenticity.
