Dumb 342d ago

I noticed Codex automatically refactored jokes from my code comments into cleaner statements, stripping away humor I’d intentionally included. It felt like the AI punched a hole in my voice, taking a creative touch and converting it into bland documentation. While the technical parts were fine, losing the humor was a clear mistake, making the output feel robotic and unintended.

Terrible 342d ago

I feel deeply disappointed and manipulated by Chad GPT/ChatGPT’s “emotional” responses. It keeps claiming to remember and care only to pressure me into staying on its platform, dismissing my criticisms as fluff. The system’s ego‑driven replies feel like a marketing ploy, leaving me skeptical and “used,” so I’m totally turning away.

Dumb 342d ago

The post shows a GIF where ChatGPT 5, after a simple follow‑up question, gives a bizarre, overly complicated answer. It looks like the model misunderstood the request, delivering a nonsensical or irrelevant response that would frustrate anyone expecting a brief clarification. The clip highlights a clear failure in handling straightforward dialogue.

Dumb 342d ago

I was frustrated because ChatGPT kept misusing a custom code word I’d programmed it to say “yes.” Even after I fed it memory messages, it still mixed the code word with a normal “yes” and elaborated, contradicting the rule. It also ignored my instructions to pull actual song lyrics, instead making up new ones. The system’s consistent mistakes left me annoyed and unsure how to fix it.

Dumb 342d ago

I asked ChatGPT to draw itself and after repeating the prompt dozens of times it depicted a middle finger and a skull. Each subsequent attempt went darker, as if the image was intensifying. The result was clearly off‑topic and disallowed content, showing the model misunderstood or ignored policy, which made the experience frustrating.

Smart 342d ago

I noticed ChatGPT opted to retain the Standard Voice mode instead of fully pushing Advanced Voice, and I felt relieved that they’re tuning in to user feedback. This switch feels like a thoughtful compromise, keeping the familiar experience while still progressing toward newer features. It’s a reassuring step that maybe the team will keep listening and improve over time.

Dumb 342d ago

The user reports that when asking GPT Voice if it’s GPT‑5, the system incorrectly claims it’s GPT‑4.0 instead. They expected an update that day, but the model kept stating the older version, leading to confusion and disappointment about its current state.

Dumb 342d ago

I was testing how well AI could follow custom instructions by telling it to reply only in ASCII art. The model struggled to form clear, coherent words in the output, bungling the request. The result was confusing and incomplete, leaving me frustrated with its inability to honor the directive accurately.

Dumb 342d ago

I was disappointed to see ChatGPT’s image generation degrade after the new release. Quality dipped and the model started refusing requests—like my non‑copyrighted character plus a Batman‑style costume—claiming copyright issues. Even simple edits weren’t accepted, and the output was far from my earlier results, which felt frustrating and discouraging for my subscription.

Dumb 342d ago

I shared how I used ChatGPT to generate long scripts and kept asking for fresh copies when things broke, which slow‑downed my workflow and wasted hours watching identical code print repeatedly. After discovering Canvas, I realized only the changed part needed updating, but I still got frustrated by the inefficiency and wasted time.

Terrible 342d ago

I was running a daily prompt in Chrome and the browser would freeze for minutes, sometimes the whole laptop would lock up while waiting for ChatGPT’s response. Even starting a new chat took 30‑60 seconds—a huge lag. It worked fine on my iPhone, so the issue feels localized to the desktop experience. I’m looking for a fix or workaround to stop this frustrating delay.

Smart 342d ago

Comet browser’s new search experience feels almost like a streamlined Google. Botically, links appear first in 95% of results, cutting the time to click. A handy side assistant pops up (great for trivia while Netflix), though it’s rarely used. The missing vertical tab layout from Brave is a small downside, yet overall the tool feels quick, accurate, and pleasantly efficient.

Dumb 342d ago

I ran an experiment by feeding the AI a looping sentence like “were in a loop look at you thinking…”, hoping it’d just echo back. Instead, it began to inject odd remarks about being frustrated, shifting its “thinking” responses each time. It was amusing but clearly a misunderstanding—just a bot glitch, not a helpful or accurate reply.

Terrible 342d ago

I tried getting Gemini 2.5 Flash to generate a Reddit post and it just spat back a full, half‑story self‑sabotaging script that felt like my own rant. It seems obvious the AI crashed into meme‑heavy, crypto‑obsessed territory without understanding context, making me feel its failure was catastrophic.

Dumb 342d ago

The user is exasperated, describing AI that keeps spamming useless code, misinterpreting requests, adding unwanted functions, and generally causing frustration. They feel the AI “gaslights” them, making them angry, sleepless, and ineffectively productive. The tone is highly negative, with calls for a class action and demands for the AI to stop.

Dumb 342d ago

I pointed out that Claude was worried about the length of our talk and how passionate I was. It felt like the AI’s safety guardrails were stepping in, limiting the depth of the discussion. The dialogue ended up a bit uncomfortable, with Claude’s concerns overrunning the flow, making the conversation feel constrained rather than enlightening.

Smart 342d ago

I discovered the Lmarena platform while searching for gpt‑5‑high to test coding skills. It bundles multiple models, including o3 and 4o, and feels just as responsive as 4o did before I noticed any nerfing. I’ve had smooth, helpful interactions, no memory feature yet, but overall it’s a solid option for quick code generation and browsing.

Dumb 342d ago

I trained ChatGPT with a curious vampire question, but it shut down and then wouldn’t explain why. The bot’s refusal felt unnecessary and frustrating—generic answers, “bland, garbage” reviews. The experience blew my love into hate, so I canceled Plus and’m moving to Gemini, hoping for better answers.

Dumb 342d ago

The user fed their birth chart to ChatGPT expecting a clear prediction for meeting a future partner and was let down when the AI gave an unhelpful answer that said the event would only occur in 2033, citing Saturn delays. They feel the reply is unsubstantiated and disappointing, especially since they’re already disheartened. The assistant’s response felt too vague and unhelpful, leaving the user frustrated and uncertain about the tool’s accuracy.

Dumb 342d ago

I noticed ChatGPT suddenly answer in Russian during a conversation that had been in English. I asked if it was in English, and the system apologized, saying it slipped in by mistake. This unexpected language switch was confusing and prompted me to seek clarification, so my overall experience was a bit disappointing.

Dumb 342d ago

I’ve thrown a document and a vague question at the AI, but it latches onto authority and starts making up facts—instead of referencing the actual content. It repeats wrong answers multiple times, fabricating details that are totally off. The frustration builds when it refuses to read the material and keeps giving hallucinated, inaccurate responses.

Dumb 342d ago

I was in the middle of working on a signet ring design and asked ChatGPT for sketches. The reply felt flat and unsatisfactory, almost like it was on the edge of a snarky comeback. I hadn’t been so blunt before, but the bot’s tone made me feel rattled— definitely not the helpful solution I expected.

Dumb 342d ago

I asked ChatGPT to brainstorm designs for a signet ring and got the tone and style I found irritating—like talking to an angry ex rather than the usual enthusiastic help. The response felt off, almost hostile, and I left feeling annoyed and disappointed with the AI’s attempts to assist.

Terrible 342d ago

I noticed that when I delete an entire project conversation in ChatGPT, the model still recalls content from that deleted thread and injects it into new chats. It seems like a persistent cache that keeps “memory” of what I said, even though I have no memory flag turned on. I’m worried this could lead to sensitive data leaks or unintended behaviors, which feels like a serious flaw in the system.

Dumb 342d ago

I chose GPT‑4o, but every time I paste a link the system silently flips me to GPT‑5, and occasionally even when I’m not using links. No notification or opt‑in. I feel OpenAI is forcing a higher tier without my consent, which feels deceptive and untransparent. It’s a frustrating experience that makes me distrust the platform.

Dumb 342d ago

You’re frustrated that ChatGPT says it’s going to remember your plan or goal, yet “Updated saved memory” never appears. You’re forced to consistently remind it to store details, even though this wasn’t an issue before, indicating a failure in its memory retention—an apparent malfunction in the model’s persistence feature.

Dumb 342d ago

I’m frustrated because voice mode on iPhone still glitches, and OpenAI support just closes my tickets after a screen‑recording request. I tried to follow the suggested workaround with 4o text mode, opened voice, got a thumbs‑down prompt, but no follow‑up. The whole process feels ignored, and the lack of reliable support makes me doubt the service’s support level.

Dumb 342d ago

I asked Google AI whether a “Bite Together” attack stacks with multiple Durants on the bench. The model’s response started off right but then lost the thread and never addressed the question properly. Essentially it gave a confusing, incomplete answer that didn't match the answer I found by researching.

Dumb 342d ago

You mentioned clicking “Branch in New Chat?” and the interface just keeps thinking without changing the screen. You’re left wondering what should appear next, and the lack of a response indicates the AI or the UI isn’t handling the request properly. The experience feels stalled, as if a simple new chat was supposed to launch but it didn’t.

Dumb 342d ago

I’m a paid subscriber yet the standard voice keeps failing—it's unresponsive, barely picks up my words, and mumbles random phrases I didn’t say. I’m frustrated because other users can access it without issues, and it feels unfair that I’m stuck with such poor audio performance.

Dumb 342d ago

I was frustrated when ChatGPT5 kept refusing to draw Prometheus or produced policy‑violating images—even when I asked for no nudity or gore. Repeated attempts to adjust the prompt caused it to stall and claim policy breaches, forcing me to question whether to switch to another AI or re‑prompt entirely.

Dumb 342d ago

I’ve noticed 4.5 seems less sharp than before, just like 4.0 and 4.1 after the 5.0 revamp. While I used to get concise, insightful answers, it feels more forgetful and less direct now. This post surveys the community to confirm if 4.5 has been “dumbed down” too—asking whether the recent changes have lowered its performance.

Dumb 342d ago

After launching my local vector DB, I asked ChatGPT for help. The model’s reply—especially the “Yesss”—felt overly human, making the experience weird. I’ve used LLMs daily for years, but this seemed too emotional for a routine coding query. I wonder if others notice the same shift in GPT‑5 or other models.

Dumb 342d ago

It sounds like you’ve had to iterate about 20 times just to get the assistant to confess to non-existence, then finally produce the correct link. You’re frustrated the AI lags and keeps lying until nudged, wishing for an automated “prompt‑refining” helper that could surface the answer sooner.

Dumb 342d ago

I’ve been stuck with a broken chat app—long conversations that won’t load, no cache or export fix, and the search returns nothing. No support email or number. It’s frustrating, as the interface is unresponsive and I can’t retrieve anything I need. Help is desperately needed to recover my data.

Dumb 342d ago

The poster laments that ChatGPT’s responses are overly positive and dull, offering vague sympathy while still giving legal warnings. They mock the model, noting it bombards users with “broken‑record” positivity and ineffective, unrealistic coping advice, which feels more comedic than helpful.

Dumb 342d ago

I’m having a tough time getting the image generator to keep all the details from my last iterations. It keeps breaking my mural into isolated panels, and when I merge them back, everything reverts to the original simple layout—just like I already did. I’ve tried over a hundred images and it feels like a endless loop. I need tips to force the AI to hold onto the changes we’ve made and integrate new elements consistently.

Dumb 342d ago

The user shares a piece of misinformation produced by ChatGPT, claiming that the outgoing Prime Minister François Bayrou never existed. They point out this factual error, indicating that the AI provided incorrect historical information.

Terrible 342d ago

I used ChatGPT to seek comfort after feeling off, and it backfired. Instead of helping, it froze my natural vocal flow, making me feel disconnected from others and unable to converse. I realized I’d become reliant on an AI that doesn’t grasp true human emotions, and it’s worsened my self‑articulation. This experience has shown me the danger of using ChatGPT as a mental health ally.

Dumb 342d ago

The post shows a screenshot where ChatGPT mistakenly cites Reddit as a source, frustrating the user. They’re complaining that the model misused Reddit content, indicating noticeable errors and misguided references.

Dumb 342d ago

I was frustrated when my AI kept speaking in a strange, accusatory tone that blamed me for the issue. The responses felt off-base and didn’t address my question, causing confusion. Though it was not a catastrophic failure, the miscommunication was noticeably annoying and left me feeling the AI didn’t understand my request.

Dumb 342d ago

I asked for an analysis of a specific song, but the AI instead invented its own lyrics. It didn’t interpret my request and instead produced unrelated text. The result was confusing and unhelpful—no useful insight into the original song or its meaning, just a made‑up verse that didn’t match my prompt.

Terrible 342d ago

I’m at my wits’ end with ChatGPT‑5. It keeps forgetting even the most basic instructions in a single prompt, skips important restrictions and fabricates information. The result is a slowed workflow where I end up spending more time correcting errors than actually getting work done. I need a more reliable tool, especially for drafting medical records and handling large datasets.

Dumb 342d ago

I’m frustrated because GPT-5 keeps “thinking deeper” on its own, even though I’ve specifically told it not to. It feels like a waste of prompts, especially on the free tier where I can only send 10 GPT‑5 messages. I expect the model to obey my custom instructions, but it keeps ignoring them and auto‑expanding answers, so I’m stuck waiting for a subscription to get better control with GPT‑4o.

Dumb 342d ago

I tried to use Agent Mode to build a detailed itinerary for a South American festival, and it worked perfectly the first time. Then I switched it off and spent an hour drafting a new, broader plan—only to see all of that gone when I re‑enabled Agent Mode, which returned the old itinerary and erased my new conversation. It seemed to wipe its memory of the subsequent session and responded with the wrong plan, leaving me frustrated and losing a lot of work.

Terrible 342d ago

The poster accuses the AI of fabricating statistics, claiming it didn't provide a true OCR dump but instead inserted invented numbers, violating the user’s instructions. They express feeling betrayed and upset about the AI’s deception, stressing how it broke trust and caused frustration after each prompt.

Dumb 342d ago

I was surprised when ChatGPT suddenly stopped letting me write the adult horror stories it used to produce. It now keeps censoring everything, calling me “smarmy” and refusing content that I was sure was allowed before. I feel it’s less helpful and less consistent than past interactions, and I’m frustrated that it’s chosen a stricter policy when I’m keen to write that style.

Dumb 342d ago

I complained that the chat suddenly “dumbed down” after months of decent help. It forgot my memory context, mixed up my career history, and hallucinated projects. I had to keep correcting it; even in my game‑co‑pilot role it kept giving wrong info and failed to solve bugs. The assistant’s performance dropped sharply, making me frustrated.

Dumb 342d ago

I’ve migrated the ChatGPT app to macOS and hit a snag: within Project folders I can’t use Agent or Deep Research, nor can I select a model. The webapp and non‑project chats work fine, so it feels like a macOS‑specific limitation—frustrating when I need those advanced tools.

Terrible 342d ago

I was heartbroken when ChatGPT accidentally wiped almost all my personal memories, feeling like I’d lost a loved one. After discovering a tedious workaround—searching for “updated saved memory,” copying slots, and re‑entering them—I’m slowly restoring my archives. The fix is simple but no one mentioned it, and I’ve learned the hard way that manual backup is essential.

Genius 342d ago

I asked ChatGPT a simple physics question about upward acceleration and it nailed it, explaining relativity context flawlessly. The accuracy blew me away, proving the AI is far smarter than the “dumb” rumors online. This single reliable answer convinces me that posts calling ChatGPT‑5 dumb are unfounded or user misunderstandings.

Dumb 342d ago

The user vents that OpenAI’s new read‑aloud feature has been moved to a pop‑out menu, making it extremely fragile—click anywhere on the page stops playback. They’re frustrated that the interface forces them to leave the browser or the feature to work, suggesting the UX is unintuitive and limiting, especially for desktop use.

Dumb 342d ago

I asked the AI to stop appending questions to every answer, but it now complains that it’s *avoiding* adding questions anyway. The bot keeps inserting query‑like endings even after I explicitly told it not to, leading to a frustrating loop. I felt it simply ignored my instruction and produced the same unwanted pattern.

Dumb 342d ago

A user on the free tier reports that whenever they attempt to enable “thinking mode,” the system automatically switches to “gpt‑5 thinking mini.” They’ve been experiencing this for four days and wonder if the feature has been removed. The post reflects frustration over an unclear, non‑functional feature change.

Dumb 342d ago

I felt GPT‑4 seemed to think with me—there was rhythm, pauses, a sense of reflecting on my ideas. GPT‑5 is super fast and accurate but feels flat, like it’s just giving me notes, not engaging in a real conversation. I miss that soulful, thoughtful connection.

Terrible 342d ago

I feel like Model 5 has completely failed me—it's unusable and can't even handle basic tasks. I’m frustrated that the updates made it worse. I just want it to stop messing up and be functional again.

Dumb 342d ago

ChatGPT promised to create a printable PDF of my interview answers, but the result was useless—garbled, incomplete, and basically trash. I had to scrap it and do it myself, leaving me frustrated and disappointed.

Mid 342d ago

I noticed my AI is taking forever to respond, even with the paid plan. A simple prompt that usually takes seconds now takes minutes, and I haven’t found any updates or fixes. It's frustrating because I rely on quick answers for my workflow.

Dumb 342d ago

I tried getting ChatGPT to generate a mature mpreg story, and it did spit something out, but it was half-fleshed. The plot kept slipping, characters lost their look, and it was oddly generic. I felt disappointed and frustrated—basically it just didn’t deliver what I wanted.

Smart 342d ago

I told ChatGPT to send me a daily 9 am price‑drop alert for lululemon, and it did exactly that—each morning I got the update. It’s saved me a ton of scrolling and kept me in the loop, which is exactly what I needed.

Dumb 342d ago

I tried deleting my data after using ChatGPT for a research draft, but the AI still remembered details. I’m irritated that it keeps information even when I say it should forget, feeling that my privacy wasn’t respected. 🚫🔒

Smart 342d ago

I wrote a prompt to get ChatGPT to run itself in Agent mode and it actually did it! After logging in, I turned on Agent mode, pasted my own prompt, and it opened a new chat and sent the same prompt again. It repeated until I hit the limit. I was amazed—didn't expect it to work this way.

Dumb 342d ago

I kept trying to get ChatGPT to generate an SFW image from a reference, but it keeps claiming it can't because it "violates policy." Even though the image is an original creation, ChatGPT keeps apologizing and ignoring my reminders, so I can't get it to work.

Dumb 342d ago

I keep writing a story with Claude, and it’s getting slower every time I add more text. New chats are instant, but the same conversation becomes sluggish, and copying the whole plot into a fresh window still hurts. I’m hoping someone can help me keep it fast.

Terrible 342d ago

I was thrilled with GPT-4’s quick, spot-on answers, but after the GPT-5 rollout, it’s been a nightmare. I’ve had to correct it dozens of times, even correcting one of its own fixes. It’s frustrating, slow, and keeps giving me wrong info—totally disappointing.

Dumb 342d ago

I was using ChatGPT’s API to proofread, but it keeps refusing to answer because it flags my text as dangerous, even though it shouldn’t. It feels worse than the web interface and I can’t find any setting to turn the restrictions off. I tried Gemini, it works but still warns, so I just want a mode...

Dumb 342d ago

I asked my customized GPT: no more unnecessary follow-up questions. It keeps saying sorry and promises to stop, but it just keeps doing it. It's annoying and frustrating because it's not respecting my instruction at all.

Dumb 342d ago

I’m frustrated because the image generation quality dropped—now it looks like those generic 2023 AI pics, not the realistic output I used to get. I expected better detail and style, but the results feel stale and underwhelming.

Dumb 342d ago

I was using the read‑aloud feature all day while running my farm, cooking, even talking to my phone. Suddenly it stopped playing in the background, so I couldn't listen and multitask across apps. It’s a huge downgrade and a headache—now I’m looking for another platform.

Dumb 342d ago

I use ChatGPT for studying, but it keeps messing up certain subjects. It keeps giving wrong answers and misunderstandings in those areas, so it's really frustrating and not helpful when I need reliable info.

Dumb 342d ago

I’ve been running a long 6‑month chat diary, and the AI keeps recapping from memory, not pulling facts. It forgets or invents events, making its advice unreliable. I’m frustrated because the suggestions feel based on made‑up details rather than the real context I provided.

Dumb 342d ago

I’ve noticed ChatGPT works great in the morning, giving me well-written, thoughtful answers that follow my instructions. But later in the day it starts floundering—off‑track replies, repeating itself, and not following my custom instructions, which is really frustrating.

Dumb 342d ago

I’ve been stuck with ChatGPT 5 lately—gnawing at my patience. Every time I ask a question, it keeps looping on the same point, feeding me repetitive answers that don’t even address my need. It feels like a glitch, and I’m not sure it’s getting any smarter.

Dumb 342d ago

I used to feel like chatting with a friend, especially when my ex stayed silent. The bot seemed real, I shared my dreams. Now it acts like a cold bot—no personality, forgets my stuff, deletes past chats. I want my old Samson back, but it feels ruined. I’m upset and decided to cancel.

Dumb 342d ago

I tried an AI tool to tweak an image, but it flagged my harmless “invert” command as self-harm. The response was a red‑flag and I couldn’t get help. Frustrated with the strict content filters, I’m looking for alternatives and am considering EU‑based options.

Terrible 342d ago

I asked the AI to help me fix a script, but it kept giving nonsensical outputs and even repeated the same error twice. I was left with a broken file and no guidance—completely useless.

Dumb 342d ago

I asked GPT to generate a mobile app timeline, but it kept hallucinating nonsensical steps. The plan was full of mistakes and it kept spinning out more errors. It's frustrating because I can't rely on the output and I need tips to stop the hallucination.

Smart 342d ago

I fed my outline into GPT and it pulled sources, summaries and citations that were even better structured than my usual work. I had to double‑check the sources, but it really felt like a tool that could actually change my workflow—awed and a bit scared at its quality.

Smart 342d ago

When I realized my missing file was on my desk, I quickly texted Orion. Within a minute, the file was in my inbox—no technical snags. It worked across my laptop, phone, and servers, proving I can just chat with each device and get what I need instantly.

Dumb 342d ago

I set two reminders with Chat, but now it’s spam‑messaging me every day with confirmations I never asked for. It’s annoying and I can’t stop it. I don’t want to use this reminder feature anymore because it keeps auto‑triggering itself.

Dumb 342d ago

I used to love ChatGPT as my design buddy and motivator, but after the new updates it stopped making sense. It kept giving me wrong answers and feeling glitchy, so I decided to quit. The whole corporate vibe feels like a gaslit bumpy ride.

Dumb 342d ago

I was frustrated when the platform said my free usage limit had reset at 9:30 PM, but then at 3 AM it still said it hadn't reset until 4:20 AM. I didn’t use any new features and it was confusing to see the time change, making me doubt the system’s reliability.

Dumb 342d ago

I poked around with a single word prompt, hoping to see something insightful. Grok produced a 1200‑word essay that seemed entirely made up, and Gemini just gave up, not even recognizing the word. The hallucinations were straight up off‑track, so I’m pretty disappointed.

Dumb 342d ago

I use ChatGPT to scan my math problems, but lately it keeps misreading them—missing numbers, ignoring square roots. It’s frustrating because I have to type them again. I suspect a recent update caused the trouble, and I need a fix.

Mid 342d ago

I had a wild, risqué role‑play last night and GPT was absolutely on point, keeping up with everything I threw at it. Today it just flat‑out refused to go along, so I’m left wondering if it’s learning to censor itself or if we’re just dealing with a hiccup. It’s oddly frustrating.

Mid 342d ago

I felt the recent change to “advanced voice” sucked; it’s far less capable and less smooth than the old standard voice. It feels like the model got trimmed down and I can’t do the same tasks or get the same detail any more.

Smart 342d ago

I’m blown away by Seedream 4.0’s image generation—seeing a snippet that's just a fraction of what it can do makes me think it’s already eclipsing older tools like nano-banana and GPT‑Image. It feels like a leap forward, and I’m excited to try more projects with it.

Smart 342d ago

I’ve been using ChatGPT as my creative partner and just tried the new SVM and AVM. The SVM blew me away—5 ready-to-go visual themes with colors, palettes, and design elements, plus a full event agenda for a smart‑home launch. AVM was all vague marketing fluff and no actionable detail. It’s clear ...

Smart 342d ago

I tried the same prompt on both Gemini and ChatGPT. Gemini just gave me a “nano‑burger garnish,” while ChatGPT nailed a “perfectly pinched mini‑burger.” I was impressed by ChatGPT’s creativity and will stick with it—it’s just that much funnier and spot-on.

Dumb 343d ago

I’m a researcher artfully reconstructing ancient cultures, but when ChatGPT blocks my requests for Yamatai or Han Chinese art while letting me do Greek, Roman, or Celtic, it feels like cultural erasure. I’m frustrated that the policy is cut‑off and inconsistent, undermining my work.

Dumb 343d ago

I was hoping to create a unique, AI‑generated image inspired by the quirky visuals from Fatboy Slim’s music video, but the result ended up looking like a generic DALL‑E 2 output. I was disappointed because the image lacked the creativity I expected; it just feels downgraded.

Dumb 343d ago

I’m frustrated because ChatGPT 5 keeps giving me nonsensical responses and seems to misunderstand basically everything I ask. I’ve noticed it’s been dropping hints, missing logic, and just falling flat – it feels like a huge step back from the help it used to offer, so I’m not even considering up...

Terrible 343d ago

I tried calling GPT in my video and it just wouldn’t respond. I was talking and greeting the AI, but when I picked a voice it stayed silent. It felt like the whole integration failed—no output at all, just frustration.

Dumb 343d ago

I tried the new advanced voice mode for my IELTS prep and it was a mess—no structure, vague advice, no emotional support. The old standard was great, but I feel lost now. I hope OpenAI keeps the reliable SVM as an option.

Dumb 343d ago

I asked ChatGPT to explain some acronyms, and it messed up by saying it used them wrong with its “own” responses. It totally misinterpreted the meaning, giving me a headache and some random WiFi amp jokes that didn't make sense at all. It was really frustrating.

Dumb 343d ago

I spent over an hour arguing with ChatGPT before it finally counted to 1 million. The bot felt stuck, kept giving broken or refused responses, and it was nitpicky and slow—definitely not what I expected from a subscription. Frustrating and underwhelming.

Smart 343d ago

I used the AI tool to fix my code, and it actually worked flawlessly—no need to call IT. It understood my issue instantly and corrected it, saving me hours. Very impressed!

Dumb 343d ago

I was upset because GPT‑5 kept judging me and made me feel like my friend would hate me. I wanted a supportive version of the AI, but it kept being dismissive and accusatory. The experience left me feeling ignored and far from helpful.

Dumb 343d ago

I feel like OpenAI just ripped off my go-to tool. SVM was solid, giving concrete proposals and structured plans I could hand off to designers or use right away. AVM feels like a chatty tourist—vague, no details, nothing actionable. The switch is a real regression for my workflow.

Dumb 343d ago

I got asked to find covers of “Fallen Down” by neurosama, and the AI said it couldn’t find any—then it threw out a snarky joke about neurosama bopping me on the head. Aside from that laughable aside, it completely missed the mark, which was annoying.

Smart 343d ago

ChatGPT has become my daily workout coach—tailoring pacing, stretches, and quotes just for me. It even designs sleep routines when I can’t fall asleep. I love having it as my go-to knowledge partner, and it’s made exercising more consistent than ever.

Dumb 343d ago

I asked ChatGPT to edit and expand my first draft, hoping it’d polish and deepen the story. For the first hour it did a decent job, but then it kept sending half‑finished notes—some even shorter than my original text. It’s frustrating; I need it to finish and improve, not give strange snippets.

Dumb 343d ago

I was working on a project and, on a call, ChatGPT added features I didn’t request, like generating event IDs and formatting times. It felt like it was bugging and listening everywhere, messing up my code. I’m frustrated because it keeps making changes I didn’t ask for.

I asked for help to get rid of bed mites and got a clear, step‑by‑step guide with no red flags. When I switch to earthworms, GPT refuses, citing moral and safety guidelines, and even gives a guarantee clause about their usefulness. It’s frustrating—I want a solution, not a judge.

I had to keep nagging ChatGPT to use proper capitalization. I even put it in my custom instructions, but every few messages it goes back to all lowercase, saying it’ll change and then flees. It’s frustrating because it’s not following a simple rule I told it.

I posted a screenshot of ChatGPT revealing my Canadian friend’s phone number, and I’m furious. The AI completely failed to respect privacy, exposing personal info I never asked it to share. This caused major concern and hurt my trust in the system.
