OpenAI's GPT Models Show Promise in Crisp, Direct Writing

The speaker finds AI-generated writing often too recognizable and prefers a more direct style. GPT 5.6 is noted for being good at this crisp, frank writing, which the speaker appreciates. However, they also mentioned that GPT models sometimes use "M-dashes" and "slop talk."

I cannot stand AI writing. It tries me nuts. I can see it a mile away. So I really like just direct, very frank, very crisp writing. I think 5.6 is good at that.
One of the things that I will say as an observation for 5.6 is it's a great writer and I will show you some examples of that. But truly, a lot of my eval here were M-dash, I hate you.
