Please don’t retire GPT-5.1 Thinking – GPT-5.2 feels worse

Yeah you might be right. My quick measurement was having only 5.4 Thinking as comparison in mind.
I use GPT since 3 years now it knows almost everything about me so our test results should be the same haha.
But you are right it, the brother / bro behaviour seems to be an indicator for a more friendly character again!
I won’t run tests on it i rather just use it a couple of hours and see how it feels like
