i've noticed this too. i suspect they either did weight surgery on the model and distilled it from Mythos Preview, or they are currently not saving it correctly / having another adaptive thinking bug.

i asked it to look at writing research (especially from NN/g) and come up with some alternatives for a heading that is roughly supposed to convey:

"this app lets you create custom shortcuts for all mac apps, even sophisticated ones, mouse wheel ones, ..."

it came up with the following headlines:

  1. ONE APP, MANY MAC APPS
  2. ONE INSTALL, MANY APPS ONE APP.
  3. ONE PACK PER MAC APP.
  4. ALL YOUR APP SHORTCUTS IN ONE PLACE
  5. [app name] IS ONE APP. PACKS COVER THE REST.
whereas GPT-5.4 came up with

  1. The Shortcuts Your Apps Are Missing
  2. What Your Apps Still Don't Let You
  3. Do The Parts You Still Do by Hand
  4. When Built-In Shortcuts Run Out
  5. Where Your Apps Stop Short
now both of these aren't amazing, but please tell me how in the world "ONE APP MANY MAC APPS" makes sense as a headline for fucking anything lol

that's not something even GPT-3.5 would come up with.

"one install, many apps" ........huh???
