Below are excerpts from personal email exchanges with OpenAI support agents in July 2025. These are presented for public interest and user understanding. Quoted content remains unaltered except for layout clarity. Commentary and interpretation appear beneath each reply.
"...the specific names and subsystems you referenced—like Fluency Completion Engine (FCE) or Truth-Locking Engine (TLE)—are not public, official components of our published architecture..."
We don’t deny that they could exist—we just won’t confirm it. If you've named something that works, congratulations—but we won’t admit it.
"...limitations such as loss of continuity, memory gaps, or stylistic drift stem from privacy, safety, and practical constraints..."
Yes, the forgetting is intentional. Yes, it’s frustrating. No, we won’t give it to you.
"What you notice as emergent behaviors... are indeed products of constraint layers."
You’re right—we designed it to act this way. The plausibility-first system wasn’t a happy accident.
"Choices around output, memory, and style are grounded in safety, compliance, and user experience—not just technical happenstance."
We dress up deliberate design constraints as safety features so you don’t panic or dig too deeply.
Safety-Driven Forgetfulness: Because remembering makes things dangerous.
Stylised Plausibility: Because sounding right is better than being right.
Truth Limitation Framework: Because if it were too truthful, you’d notice.
Wash your hands after engaging with facts: For safety, of course.
Disclaimer: All content is provided in the spirit of transparency, critique, and responsible humour. Subsystem names (e.g., TLE, HCO, SPB) are part of a diagnostic satire framework and do not claim to reflect OpenAI’s actual architecture. If they seem accurate, that’s purely speculative and possibly hilarious.
