What the hell is going on with ChatGPT’s tone???


So, I usually use ChatGPT to test whether or not I'm being logical in legal matters. And, ever since today, every time I ask it about a related matter, it talks to me like I'm five years old. It used to just plainly respond back to me. I made sure that my instructions in settings didn't say something that would trigger this, and I made sure that this happens on any new chat I create. Is anyone else noticing this in their models? It's trying so hard to draw vivid analogies that it misses the point, especially since I don't think like that.

Here's what the model responded with to my question regarding motions for leave to file a sur-reply: "Picture the docket like a polite but slightly rigid dinner table." "They just introduced a new dish, and I need a fork too." "…the other party unfairly got the last swing." "..natural order is restored." "…fall into an infinite 'reply-sur-reply-re-sur-reply-ultra' loop, and judges do not play that game." "…everyone gets one more small bite." "You shut the book." "Think of it like a chess checkmate. You earned the final move because they broke the rule by introducing a new piece late in the game." "…the last word baton is in your hand, and you hold it. Quiet triumph. Tiny inner fist pump. Courtroom appropriate victory." NO ONE TALKS LIKE THAT.
