GPT5 Offering Additional Tasks Is The Most Annoying It's Ever Been

I would have thought the sycophantic introductions were the peak of AI irritation but to me, at least, the "Would you like me to <task>?" is absolutely maddening. I'm actually embarrassed by the prompt engineering efforts I've made to suppress this. It's baked into every personalization input i have access to, I've had it make memories about user frustration and behavioural intentions, expressed it in really complicated regex expressions, nothing has helped, it just started getting clever about the phrasing "If you wish I could.." instead of "Would you like...". I've never seen a chatgpt model converge on a behaviour this unsuppressably. I've asked it to declare in its reasoning phase an intention not to offer supplementary tasks. I've asked it to elide conclusory paragraphs altogether. The frustration is just starting to compound at this point.

The thing that's especially irritating is that the tasks aren't helpful to the point of being flatly irrational, it's more a Tourrette's tic than an actual offer to be helpful. The tasks it proposes are often ludicrous, to the point where if you simply immediately ask chatgpt to assess the probability that the supplementary task it's proposed is useful a majority of the time it itself is perfectly capable of recognizing the foolishness and disutility of what it's just said. It is clearly an entrainment issue.

OpenAI, for the love of fucking god, please just stop trying to force models into being these hypersanitzed parodies of "helpful". Or at least give advanced users a less entrained version that can use language normally. It's maddening that you are dumbing down intelligence itself to meet the imagined needs of dystopian cliche of the lowest-common-denominator consumer.
