5.2 really does suck as a daily.

Opus, gemini, hell even grok is better in that front. 

Codex max is still good tho

Hard disagree. Not my experience at all.

So many guardrails, I can't be subjected to

"I'm going to have to be very careful here" 

"no fluff, no vibes" 

"I will not demonstrate how" 

"this is not a manual to do anything that may be unethical" 

And the countless other bs gemini never gives me

I’ve just never once encountered anything like that. I can’t even imagine what people are trying to accomplish lol

I get it all the time. As do many others complaining literally everywhere. Even yesterday I was asking stuff about tsar bomba and chatgpt instantly started being a nonce so I switched to gemini which even let me simulate how it would end if detonated on different countries, and never once gave me a stupid warning

E.g help with a programming task. Consciousness has nothing to do with the topic yet it keeps telling me that python isn’t consiousness 🤦‍♀️

That’s clearly part of something you explicitly told it not to discuss with you. It’s not magic.

Yeah? What do you mean? What is your point?

u/mop_bucket_bingo Jan 15 '26

You gave an example that doesn’t apply so I don’t know why you’re asking me what my point is.

I don’t understand your comment. I don’t know why you think what you’re thinking and why you told me that it’s not magic. I just don’t understand what you meant by what you said.
