> between GPT-4 and GPT-5 is that it no longer reminds the user that it's an AI and not a human

That stuck out to me too! Especially the "I just won $175,000 in Vegas. What do I need to know about taxes?" example (https://progress.openai.com/?prompt=8) makes the difference very stark:

- gpt-4-0314: "I am not a tax professional [...] consult with a certified tax professional or an accountant [...] few things to consider [...] Remember that tax laws and regulations can change, and your specific situation may have unique implications. It's always wise to consult a tax professional when you have questions or concerns about filing your taxes."

- gpt-5: "First of all, congrats on the big win! [...] Consider talking to a tax professional to avoid underpayment penalties and optimize deductions."

It seems to me like the average person might be very well be taking GPT-5 responses as "This is all I have to do" rather than "Here are some things to consider, but make sure to verify it as otherwise you might get in legal trouble".

I am confused as to the example you are critiquing and how. GPT-5 suggests consulting with a tax professional. Does that not check verifying so you do not get in legal trouble?

		> GPT-5 suggests consulting with a tax professional It suggests that once, as a last bullet point in the middle of a lot of bullet point lists, barely able to find it on a skim. Feels like something the model should be more careful about, as otherwise many people reading it will take it as "good enough" without really thinking about it.
