User criticizes GPT-6 Sol for prioritizing visuals over core reasoning in OpenAI Chat

A user on Reddit expresses disappointment with the latest iteration of OpenAI's Chat model, referred to as GPT-6 Sol. They feel that while the model has introduced visual enhancements like colored boxes and annotations, its core reasoning and context-holding capabilities for serious work have been diminished compared to previous versions like 5.5 and 5.6. The user notes that the model sometimes appears to fixate on an initial assumption, leading to contradictions, and that its processing time for complex tasks seems reduced, making it less reliable for critical tasks. AI

IMPACT Suggests a potential regression in core reasoning capabilities for a widely used AI chat interface, impacting user trust for serious tasks.
