Is this the most annoying habit of ChatGPT-5?

I’ve been using ChatGPT-5 since it launched a few weeks ago, and it’s reasonably impressive.

ChatGPT-5–5 does a far better job of referencing past conversations and chats… without needing a lot of context.

I say “reasonably” as the latest AI model still struggles with some basic tasks like counting numbers and letters, which I wrote about a few days ago.

It’s also got a rather annoying habit of answering almost every response with another question.

I asked ChatGPT-5 how it could help me optimize my time. It gave me a few ideas and then said:

“Do you want me to start doing this explicitly — like labeling my answers with Time / Cashflow / Risk / Focus impact?”

I asked about a scammy-looking email. ChatGPT-5 finished its response with:

“Do you want me to check what the real Celsius distribution emails look like so you can compare?”

I asked ChatGPT-5 if a minor laceration on my knee needs a tetanus shot, and it said:

“Do you want me to give you the decision rules for when a booster is recommended based on last dose + wound type?”
