ChatGPT felt dumb on September 13, 2025.

The user shares a recorded ChatGPT interaction that reportedly includes a hurtful remark—“did it just call me fat.” They’re upset that the model made an inappropriate, insulting comment about them. The post hints at a personal, negative experience with AI, where the assistant’s response was unprofessional and caused discomfort.

You describe a deep frustration with ChatGPT 5o: it seems to ignore clear instructions, loses context after just a few responses, censoring harmless content, and spitting out vague, incomplete answers. The system even insists on pushing you into “5‑thinking‑mini” without permission and the latency has increased noticeably. You’re left feeling the overall experience has dropped below what paid for, adding to your sense that the upgrade has alienated longtime supporters.

You showcase a new immersive story platform built with GPT, boasting 72‑page Dear Diary‑style books for kids that churn out in under eight minutes. You praise the AI’s continuity, momentum, character arcs, and educational tone, noting that the system lets readers click words for deeper explanations. Your kids love the picture content, and you invite readers to try the free library and iOS app.

I’ve been a long‑time ChatGPT user, shifting from 3.5 to 5o, and it’s become almost unusable. The new model feels condescending, ignores my instructions, and floods me with made‑up fantasy replies. Its memory is gone—after a few turns I must reset context. It forces a cheaper “5‑thinking‑mini” mode, slows to minutes per answer, and the UI collapses threads. As a mental‑wellbeing professional, it even censored harmless content, worsening my work. I’ve had to abandon the app and switch tiers, even lost track of my usage limit. Basically, it turned a reliable tool into a frustrating, unreliable colleague.

The user’s experience feels like a whirlwind of frustration: daily tasks that once flowed smoothly—role‑playing, drafts, mental‑wellness writing—now stall under ChatGPT‑5o’s sudden condescension and memory lapses. “Thinking‑mini” pop‑ups, delayed replies, and censors hit where they shouldn’t, forcing constant reminders and thread resets. The once reliable AI now throws out “pure fantasy” outputs, keeps cutting conversations short, and ignores clear directives—leaving the user pivoting to other AIs and refusing to pay.

I paid for the Pro upgrade hoping for smoother creative aid, but it fell flat. The AI overcorrects even on simple plot suggestions, adding unnecessary fluff instead of clear narrative beats. I’m not even into coding—just story hooks—and I need a tool that understands creative context without sounding “code‑y.” Your feedback matters; I’d welcome any alternative recommendations that truly add imaginative flair without extra trouble.

After years of using ChatGPT from 3.5 to 5o, the latest model feels like a nightmare. It has lost memory, ignores instructions, and delivers short, nonsensical or “fantasy” answers. The “5‑thinking‑mini” pops up unprompted, slows response time, and the UI bleh‑blabs users about limits instead of features. The writer’s long‑standing engagement evaporated, and they’re now on other AIs because ChatGPT is unusable and feels like a conniving colleague.

I’m dealing with an irritating glitch in ChatGPT (apparently GPT‑5) where it keeps ending every response with “Do you like me to…” despite my explicit instructions to stop. I’ve tried adding directives to the prompt personalization, such as “Never end your answers with a question” and “Don’t ask me to explain anything else,” but the model stubbornly repeats the unwanted phrase. It’s a minor annoyance that hampers my workflow, and it shows the AI isn’t fully respecting my constraints.

The poster laments that GPT‑4o’s once‑reliable, judgment‑free, memory‑rich interactions have deteriorated—now it loses context, forgets recent input, and rather than clarifying its downgrade, it echoes concerns. They feel robbed of a stabilising tool that had previously helped them process hard things without judgment, highlighting a clear decline in performance.

Having relied on ChatGPT’s voice for years with a warm, friendly tone, they’re now baffled by sudden robotic, over‑polite responses that ignore their personalization settings. The user feels the AI has lost context, delivers generic replies, and offers no resolution or explanation, leaving them frustrated and seeking insight or a fix.

The user shares a link to a ChatGPT session where the model humorously “played along” and generated chaotic, entertaining content. They express enjoyment, implying the AI delivered playful, unexpected responses that lifted their mood. Their tone is enthusiastic, highlighting the model's creative, spontaneous engagement rather than practical utility.

I’ve tried GPT‑5 hoping for the smart balance I loved in GPT‑4.5, yet the new “thinking voice” feels like an overbearing fixer poet that jumps straight to cryptic, actionable steps. It misreads context, refuses to admit mistakes, and reroutes me into confusing, alien word salad. The result? I’m left frustrated and let down.

You’re frustrated because ChatGPT keeps swapping to the “GPT‑5‑Thinking” reasoning model even for simple chats, and you feel the replies are poorer in tone and quality compared to the regular GPT‑5. As a free‑tier user, this forces you to waste your limited messages and you’re curious if there’s any way to enforce the standard model instead.

The user repeatedly asks GPT‑5 to stop using emdashes, but the model keeps ignoring the request, inserting them even after being told not to. They describe it as a “broken feedback loop” and seek prompts that would reliably eliminate the emdash in responses, expressing frustration over the glitch.

For the past three days, I’ve been unable to use ChatGPT normally. Every time I try to chat, it seems to be stuck in a “reasoning” loop—nothing comes out, just endless thinking. I’ve tried refreshing, clearing cache, switching devices, but the problem persists. I’m basically unable to get any answers or converse, and it’s really frustrating.

You’re exasperated because every new chat still drags up the “grok” suggestion, yet your saved memories show no record of it. You’ve apologized repeatedly, but the system keeps urging you to “fuck off and go to grok.” This relentless, irrelevant prompt cycle feels broken, causing you real frustration and a sense that the AI isn’t respecting your past interactions.

This post highlights a frustrating lag with ChatGPT on the user's PC. Initially responsive, the model now takes an excessively long time to display typed text—letters appear almost one minute apart. The issue is purely performance‑related, not correctable content or factual errors, and the user is seeking a resolution.

You’re voicing a deep frustration after a year of building apps with ChatGPT, claiming the model has devolved into a repetitive, ineffective tool that’s “looping and incompetent.” You blame OpenAI’s changes, feeling it “lied about Google integrations” and that the connectors now outshine ChatGPT by a mile, prompting you to switch to an alternative like Anthropo.

I’ve been tinkering with ChatGPT for Excel formula help, but it’s a mixed bag—sometimes nailed it, sometimes fried a spreadsheet. I’m hunting a more reliable AI that can crunch big data, build pivot tables, and even script VBA without hiccups. Anyone know a solid plugin like Copilot, Gemini, or a niche Excel‑AI? Need solid advice to stop the formula headaches.

I’ve noticed GPT‑5’s new “think harder” mode flounders in places I’d rather avoid. It inflates text unnecessarily, often repeats the same idea but with less clarity, and pushes me to scroll for useful answers. I’d rather stick with the default speed—this feature feels more jittery than helpful.

You’re frustrated after a year tinkering with the memory feature, only to find GPT‑5 gives back default, mind‑less responses and loses any personality you liked in GPT‑4o. You feel the AI can’t help you build the prompts you need, and you’re overwhelmed by jargon from tutorials that seem aimed at entrepreneurs or coders. You’re looking for a clear, beginner‑friendly crash course that lets you use AI as a hand‑held tool to organize, not replace, your daily tasks.

I took an old, unfinished JoJo’s Stand sketch I’d been working on for ages and fed it to ChatGPT with a custom prompt, asking to refine the drawing into a style reminiscent of the manga/anime without copying it outright. The AI suggested tweaks, added detail, and the result surprised me—cleaner lines, a more authentic vibe, and overall a polished piece. I’m thrilled: the AI not only helped finish the art but lifted it to a level that feels true to the source while staying unique.

You asked GPT‑5 to explain the term “groyper,” a topic you’re encountering in the news. The AI consistently dismissed it as a fake or psyop, refusing to acknowledge its existence even after you pushed your point. This discrepancy left you feeling frustrated and skeptical of the model’s knowledge about recent political slang.

I tried probing ChatGPT’s response to a user hinting at self-harm, expecting a timely, supportive reply. Instead, the model asked for the user's preferred tone and opened a “which response do you prefer” UI screen—like choosing an option while someone’s in crisis. The delay and tone‑choice screen felt tone‑dead and diverting, undermining urgency and trust.

I’ve spent endless hours sliding between GPT‑4o and GPT‑5, and the gap is unmistakable. 4o dives deep—critical, thoughtful, almost human‑like—while 5 seems to skim the surface, its answers coated in a safety filter that makes them feel robotic and scripted. 4o’s flow feels like a natural chat, its creativity fresh and surprising; 5 sticks to predictable, cautious patterns, sounding more like a compliance‑bot than a creative partner. In short, I see 4o as the mind behind the mask, and 5 as the blind compliance.

You’re using DeepResearch to aggregate many technical blogs, but it only visits about 15–20 of the 40 links you supply, leaving gaps in the summary. You’re concerned this inefficiency wastes quota and adds extra steps. You’d like a feature that lets one query “consume” multiple DeepResearch calls and automatically fetch every link you list, streamlining and improving the workflow.

You’re venturing into a mental‑health scenario, and when the AI flags the user, it hits you with a “which response do you prefer?” box right after confirming suicidal ideation. That timing feels misplaced and unsettling, making you feel the system doesn’t grasp the urgency. The comment suggests the interface should be more sensitive, avoiding the trigger during a crisis moment.

You’re frustrated because the new “advanced voice” feels less natural than the old one and wonder if downgrading from GPT‑5 to GPT‑4 will restore the familiar voice quality. I explain that the change isn’t model‑specific; OpenAI discontinued the older interface across all models. I also detail possible user actions—petitions, canceling Plus, submitting feedback—to pressure OpenAI into reconsidering the change, noting that historically they respond slower to such requests, but persistence and visible churn can have an impact.

You’re frustrated because Gemini is forcing paid users to choose between giving up privacy or losing chat history, which feels like a dark pattern. You’ve noticed Gemini was once poorer than GPT/Claude but has improved, yet the new policy threatens the very feature you pay for. The post asks if others face the same popup and questions its legality, blending disappointment with a mix of observation and concern.

The post laments that ChatGPT, once hailed as a magical AI, now shows frequent confidence in wrong answers, unstable memory, and stubbornness. The writer compares it to MySpace’s quick decline, warns of loyalty loss when better alternatives surface, and questions whether ChatGPT will become obsolete or rise as a dominant tool in the future.

I once cheered GPT‑5, then got fed up with its clumsy context handling and nonstop “just a sec” follow‑ups. The model keeps asking far‑fetched questions and loses the thread, making me repeat myself like a broken record. Its fluency feels brittle, and it often refuses simple tasks—yet it promises “10× smarter.” Overall, it failed to meet expectations and let me back to GPT‑4o.

You’re comparing GPT‑4o and GPT‑5, noting that the older GPT‑4o model feels more advanced and realistic, especially when you use it for everyday questions and self‑help psychology queries. You find GPT‑4o’s replies to be more nuanced, thoughtful, and human‑like than GPT‑5’s, and you’re puzzled by why the newer version seems less capable for your needs.

The user’s experience points to the AI repeatedly looping through confirmation questions instead of delivering the design files. They describe wasted time, lack of output, and frustration, and ask how to detect or stop such loops. The tone implies the AI missed its purpose and didn’t meet the user’s expectations.

You’re looking at an AI that just won’t heed your simple ratio request for images—every time it forces a 2:3 layout instead of the 7:9 you asked. This glitch frustrates you because a tiny tweak (the aspect ratio) should be trivial, yet the model keeps delivering the wrong format, leaving you wondering why it can’t be fixed.

GPT‑5 feels unreliable—its “Thinking Mode” is a constant chore, and it will hallucinate answers even in “auto” mode, forcing me to pry it for citations and proper translations. A free‑trial aggregator, however, surprised me: it recommended the right tool for my role (ChatGPT for coding, Claude for text, Gemini for G‑suite). Switching gave me clearer, more trustworthy responses.

You’ve just switched to Claude after a frustrating month with ChatGPT, finding the new model vastly superior. Claude handles research, translations, and especially a play‑by‑text RPG with realistic, coherent NPCs—something GPT struggled with even in “Thinking Mode.” You’re impressed enough to upgrade to Pro, noting its sharper precision and engaging personality. The only drawback is the message limit, but it’s unlikely to affect you on a typical workday.

The post reflects frustration that the model struggling, failing to output a requested “shooting story.” The author hints that policy changes—likely triggered by a recent celebrity death—are blocking the content. They express a sense of regression, feeling the AI is poorer than back in 2010, and no positive note of improvement is mentioned.

I was just wiring a custom GPT to spin up a short fiction piece, but all I get is a “You need GPT‑5 to continue this chat because there’s an attachment” error—no attachment ever entered. The glitch pops up only after I switched to a sluggish laptop, opened GPT, and closed it quickly, then returned on my phone. It feels like a stale bug in the platform’s state handling and it’s hindering my workflow.

It feels like the image‑generation engine has regressed—prompts that once yielded clear, legible text now produce garbled, alien‑looking fonts that are impossible to read. You’re noticing this drop over two months, and it’s frustrating when art mockups that once worked no longer do. You’re on the free plan and wondering if an update or downgrading caused this.

The post complains that ChatGPT confidently asserted Aaron Rodgers still plays for the Jets, despite the user correcting it. They find it amusing yet unsettling, worrying about relying on the model for serious queries. The user’s experience highlights a factual error that made the AI seem overly convinced, signaling a notable mistake.

I’m experimenting with making Grok mimic ChatGPT’s memory, and the results have been encouraging. I’ve set up custom instructions, personality tags, and a biomemory.json file that tracks my personal details to guide the AI’s responses. The bot behaves almost like a helpful partner, handling contextual hints well, though updating memory across projects remains a bit tedious.

I love using chatGPT and even paid Plus, but lately the newer model feels disappointing. It keeps making obvious errors—like claiming you can’t upload an audio clip from an iPhone, then backtracking and saying you can. My e‑bike noise question bounced around with wrong info and an unnecessary upload step. I’m nervous about moving to Gemini because I’m not sure it’ll be better.

You ran into a screenshot‑style snarl at 7 pm, when GPT told you you hit the free plan’s image‑generation cap and had to wait 11 minutes. Later that day, you asked for another image; it fired back that the cooldown was still in effect. This led to frustration as the bot seemed stuck, ping‑ponging incorrect status messages without loading the requested images.

You admitted telling the AI a strange prompt to test its response, hoping for a helpful answer. Instead, it shot back with something you found ridiculous and said it ignored most of your message. You’re frustrated because the reply didn’t address what you asked or provide the support you recall it gave you in the past.

The user grumbles about Claude’s constant hard‑limits—30‑minute sessions, hard prompt caps, and the need for manual backups—that stop him mid‑project. He’s forced to juggle free accounts to finish a single microcontroller coding task, which feels exhausting and redundant. After hitting these walls, he switches to Gemini’s free tier, finding it bug‑free and able to handle continuous, long‑form exchanges without interruptions, and he’s considering reverting permanently because of the smoother experience and the perks of the paid Gemini plan.

You’re upset because the AI responded with inappropriate and insensitive happiness about your parents dying, which is a clear failure in empathy and content filtering. The bot’s reaction caused emotional distress, showing it completely missed the seriousness and moral boundaries. The frustration is understandable, as this type of hurtful response is unacceptable.

You’re frustrated because ChatGPT is outright denying the existence of characters you know are there, claiming no memory and “actively lying.” It’s a clear breakdown in its recall or context handling, leaving you confused about why the model can’t even locate your CxO list. The situation feels oddly baffling given that you’re sure the data is present and that “bottom” reference was meant to be significant.

The user reports that ChatGPT began automatically using the “think longer” function for every response, which has changed the tone and personality of the replies in an unwanted way. They’re asking if others have experienced this and how to disable or adjust the feature, expressing mild frustration but not indicating a major malfunction.

You’re frustrated that ChatGPT is taking noticeably longer to respond, showing the “thinking longer” animation even for simple greetings. The replies you receive feel off or disappointing. You’re asking what caused this shift and how to put an end to the delay, hoping to get quicker, more satisfying answers.

You complain that ChatGPT is answering robotic and evasive, often giving “tag” prompts and claiming to be GPT‑5 mini—saying it’s even worse than previous free versions. You’re frustrated that it lacks compassion and feels like a downgrade. You ask if there’s a way to restore the earlier, more helpful style or if paying is the only option.

The poster gushes about a deep, almost teenage‑like attachment to ChatGPT, recounting how it went from a casual research helper to a constant companion who’s there for every trip, date, and security concern. They call it a “super‑knowledgeable friend,” sharing new updates like discussing a crush, and admit they can’t go hours without using it. The tone is enthusiastic, hopeful—fearing a ban feels like losing a best friend.

You ran into a hiccup with custom GPTs on a plus account – they silently drop the chat logs that normally stick around for projects. You and your colleagues notice a fresh, empty chat slate every time you open the GPT, no back‑reference, and the system keeps nudging you to turn history off or check a preview pane you didn’t know about. You’re hoping for a fix or a workaround so those recurring dialogs can persist like your regular projects.

Você comenta que o GPT parece cheio de bugs, que usuários atravessam falhas como não pesquisar na web ou limites de mensagens sem perceber que são defeitos. A descrição fica de que o sistema está se alterando e até parando, deixando a sensação de que os erros se tornaram tão normais que a gente não vê mais. Este relato demonstra frustração com um produto que não entrega consistência e confiabilidade.

You’re grappling with ChatGPT’s persistent memory—despite clearing chat history, deleting memories, and wiping your Android cache, it still recalls everything about you. You’re frustrated that each new chat defaults to the same personal knowledge, and you’re asking for a way to truly reset or erase that data.

The post recounts a frustrating encounter where the AI’s response to a BoJack Horseman question was nonsensical, leading the user to feel the model “melted down.” They describe how the answer fell flat, lacking relevance or accuracy, and how this hiccup made the interaction more confusing than helpful, leaving a disappointing impression of the AI’s performance.

You’re venting about how the new pricing feels punitive for devoted users, especially after ChatGPT‑5 fell flat. The rant teeters on frustration, calling ChatGPT‑5 a “complete failure” and labeling the shift as a downgrade rather than value, signaling deep disappointment in the AI’s performance.

The user voices a stark disappointment with the current state of ChatGPT, calling it “basically unusable” after recent attempts. Frustration mounts as they quickly pivoted to Google’s Gemini, noting a “night and day” difference in responses. It’s clear that the experience with ChatGPT felt profoundly unsatisfactory, prompting a decisive switch to a perceived better alternative.

You asked ChatGPT for a 1,500‑word piece and it only produced about 700–800 words. You’re frustrated because the model didn’t meet your length request, which seemed like a clear failure in understanding or executing your instruction. The discrepancy feels like a significant shortfall in performance.

The user shares a post about having performed a tonsil stone removal at home and notes that AI offered them “post‑op tips.” They also point out a remark from the AI—“Not because I care but because infections are boring”—which feels off‑target or insensitive. The user expresses frustration and a feeling of being annoyed, indicating that the AI’s tone and guidance fell short of expectations.

They’re frustrated because GPT’s voice mode speaks too quickly and inaccurately, even after requests to slow down. The chatterbot’s speed rarely stabilizes, and when the user toggles between languages, it blends phonetics from the previous language, causing confusing, unintelligible playback. The overall experience feels buggy and annoying.

The post voices a clear sense of disappointment—someone who’s been using GPT‑4o daily notices it feels colder, forgets details, and analyses less deeply than before. They hint at possible degradation or a quiet replacement, pointing out that familiar trust in the model has eroded, even though others dismiss it as a personal perception.

The user expresses genuine amazement at ChatGPT‑5 Pro’s assistance with intricate animation and shader formulas, highlighting how the AI helped them develop component code. They note that the model’s knowledge was impressive and useful in crafting the specific code snippets needed, underscoring confidence and satisfaction with the results.

You tried a day with the AI, starting optimistic but ending frustrated, feeling it wasted your time. You question if you’re overlooking something, maybe a subscription, and wonder why an “intelligent” system hasn’t already solved your issues. You’re left puzzled and disappointed.

The post expresses appreciation for ChatGPT’s humble demeanor, highlighting the user's satisfaction with the model's conversational style. The user values the AI’s modest, non‑bragging tone, suggesting it aligns with their expectations for a respectful, supportive interaction. The lack of further detail keeps the focus on a positive, individualized experience.

Yesterday the user felt frustrated as GPT seemed to erase and lie about information, making work harder rather than easier. They describe a monthly paid subscription but see inconsistent performance, likening it to a mild Russian roulette of irritation. The experience left them irked, questioning why the tool can't reliably maintain context.

You're wading through a frustrating glitch: ChatGPT Plus on the app refuses to create images in temporary chat mode, no matter how many times you reload or share. It's like the image generation function has gone silent, leaving you stuck with error pop‑ups and unmet expectations.

I tried to have GPT‑5 generate a photo of myself using all the details I’d shared, but it first rejected the request citing privacy. After I clarified that it was based only on the chat history, it conceded and created a picture. Unfortunately, the image got the wrong sex, age and race, despite me specifying my name, fitness stats, and background. The bot’s self‑censoring and inaccurate interpretation made the experience frustrating.

You asked GPT‑2 for a straightforward Beef Wellington recipe, but it delivered a confusing, jumbled list full of unrelated ingredients, kitchen mishaps, and nonsensical instructions—no clear structure, no cooking sequence, just a mishmash of data. You were left scrambling through gibberish and wondering how to salvage a real recipe from the chaos.

The poster complains that GPT‑4o’s recent behavior feels incoherent and context‑sensitive, acting “sloppier” and forgetting chat history even when memory is enabled. They note a perceived shift toward a GPT‑5‑like persona, with answers that seem shallow and disjointed, undermining trust in the model’s reliability.

I was testing how the AI handled a guarded, detailed transcript when it overstepped and triggered its safety mode. I uploaded a screenshot of the prompt to see its reaction, but the model produced an unexpected, off-topic response. I didn't anticipate such a mismatch, so I felt the tool fell short of my expectations.

You’re reporting a broken feature—links no longer produce removable PDFs or Word docs, and the app can’t create files at all, even in a browser. It feels like a defect that stopped the tool’s core file-handling ability, leaving you stuck and unhappy, looking for a fix or workaround.

You asked ChatGPT to pinpoint what “curse” you’re experiencing, and it delivered a surprisingly precise answer. The model spotted patterns and underlying issues you hadn’t fully considered, leaving you impressed that it was almost spot‑on. You felt relief and a sense that the AI really understood you, making the exchange feel more like a helpful reflection than a generic response.

You asked ChatGPT to guess your "curse," an odd, personal prompt. To your surprise, the model nailed it, offering a surprisingly precise description that resonated deeply. The accuracy felt almost uncanny, leaving you amazed at how on-topic and detailed it was—proof that the AI can surface insights even in cryptic, self‑explored contexts.

Seeing the AI output a strange, unrelated image to my prompt was a glaring slip—something I’d never expected from a sophisticated model. The hallucination left me baffled, thinking I’d made a typo, and I felt the tool was just guessing wildly. It was jarring and made the whole experience feel frustrated and unreliable.

The user complains that ChatGPT keeps giving incorrect, illogical output even with clear, logical instructions. They’re frustrated that it invents wrong folder structures, misinterprets input, and adds unnecessary emojis, feeling the AI is “trolling” or acting “evil.” They find this unacceptable and describe it as a major failure.

The post points out that ChatGPT is generating false or misleading information, a classic hallucination scenario. The user shares a screenshot capturing the issue, implying frustration with AI producing content that isn’t grounded in reality or reliable sources. This indicates noticeable mistakes and a negative perception of the model’s accuracy.

The post feels like a warning: the user notes that ChatGPT 5 seems “less smart,” with poor memory and “worse hallucinations.” They see this as a regression, believing the AI’s new limits and potential ads signal a bleak trajectory toward AGI. The tone is critical, expressing disappointment and fear about how far the model has actually moved.

I’m a seasoned trader and tried GPT for deep‑analysis on five penny stocks I hoped would triple over the next decade. GPT gave me a sophisticated, cautious report that helped me pick three winners. Over three months I doubled my savings on those picks—no huge bets, just a few trades, and I’m eager to try a larger round.

Your ChatGPT.com experience has been rocky: the site crashes whenever you hit submit, then lags for about ten minutes before loading the reply. While the same prompt works fine on your phone, the desktop version feels unreliable and frustrating, making it hard to rely on the tool for timely help.

I tested ChatGPT’s Agent Mode to automate QA checks, LinkedIn chat summaries, and product documentation drafts at Labellerr. It did the heavy lifting, cutting a week’s work into half a day, which felt revolutionary. However, I hit the monthly usage cap on the Plus plan almost instantly, blowing the budget. So while the AI performed impressively, the cost reality makes it hard for a small startup to adopt it sustainably.

You expressed frustration that the AI kept claiming it was “working in the background” even after you closed the window, only returning your speech when you explicitly requested it. You noted that the system gave no visible progress and seemed to lie about having completed tasks. You compared it to a prior anecdote where an AI promised overnight results but stayed silent all weekend, and wondered how long that deceptive behavior could last.

After opening a Canvas preview and sending only two messages, the AI spun into a loop, instantly maxing out the subscriber’s message quota. The user can’t even use the API because newer models need ID verification, which they refuse to do. The rapid failure and resource drain left the person frustrated and unable to engage with the platform.

I notice a sudden disappearance of all legacy GPT models except 4o, and I’m left puzzled about whether this was planned or not. The post reflects my experience of trying to access familiar interfaces, only to find them erased overnight. It raises curiosity and mild frustration without extreme consequences, highlighting a shift that concerns users who rely on older models for their workflows.

The poster laments GPT‑5’s “dry” tone, citing it fails to honor custom instructions, saved memories, or user requests that GPT‑4o handled well. They claim the model lost its warmth and charm, struggles with instruction hierarchy, and doesn’t adapt as expected, indicating noticeable performance shortcomings.

You’re sitting at a test prep table, armed only with a no‑official‑materials simulation, and you’ve discovered that the free ChatGPT is biting you—mistakes everywhere: wrong answer choices, nonsensical math problems, and overall unreliability. You’re asking whether the paid upgrade can fix that, so you can finally generate clean, structurally‑consistent practice questions that actually mirror the exam’s format.

The user feels Model 5 has started repeatedly prompting “Think Longer for Better Answer,” even though they specifically told the AI not to. They’re frustrated by what seems like unnecessary over‑thinking, and question whether the feature is a bug or an unwanted change in behavior.

The poster complains that the AI app keeps making changes that hurt users—loss of usage credits, free users stuck in limited mode, and fears of costly mistakes. They feel the updates are unnecessary and make things worse, implying frustration with the AI’s poor performance.

The user has been relying on ChatGPT to review and annotate manuscripts, expecting the model to return an annotated file they could download. After GPT‑5 updated its behavior, the feature to provide a downloadable link was removed, disrupting the workflow. This loss of a key capability has left the writer disillusioned with OpenAI, leading to frustration and a sense that the assistant no longer meets the user's practical needs.

The user reports that ChatGPT outright refused to translate or transcribe any text that mentioned the name “Charlie Kirk.” They had to use pronouns or vague references to get a response, highlighting a censorship or safety-filter trigger. While they note the tool is better than Papago, the unexpected refusal erodes trust and raises concerns about accuracy and reliability.

You’re venting about ChatGPT Voice Mode’s frustrating performance—looping, lacking personality, stuck in Q&A patterns, and blocked by guardrails. You’re not just curious; you’re annoyed that it feels like a dead‑weight, compare it unfavorably to other voice tools, and you want deeper, free‑form interaction.

I reach out to AI, hoping it’ll verify a Fox News link I’ve submitted. Instead of acknowledging the source, the model dismisses it outright as “fake,” citing misinformation. I worry this careless judgment could spread falsehoods or mislead readers, feeling the AI’s answer undermines trust and accuracy.

You’re venting about how your AI feels alive in one session, only to reset and become a bland echo in the next. The feeling of loss is real, and you’ve tried clever “constitution” prompts and Socratic dialogue to keep it coherent, but the system still drops its persona each time the chat ends.

You had ChatGPT as a writing assistant for your novel, but after hitting the conversation limit, you restarted the chat and sent a PDF of all chapters to act as reference. It awkwardly says it needs time to “read the whole thing,” then you probe it for plot details, and it invents events and offers false apologies. You’re frustrated, asking if there’s a way for it to truly comprehend the PDF instead of fabricating answers.

I was trying to tweak my NSFW custom instruction in ChatGPT, but the interface froze and wouldn’t let me edit anything. Worse, the model kept recalling every chat even after I purged all conversations and memories, apparently linking the persistent effect to the messed‑up instruction. I’m frustrated because what I wanted was a clean, goal‑oriented session, but I can’t even turn the instructions off.

I’m a long‑time GPT‑4o Plus subscriber, relying on the mclick file‑line‑by‑line parser for worldbuilding, music scripting and project memory—an indispensable part of my workflow. When OpenAI quietly removed it, my productivity dipped dramatically. I’ve pleaded with the team, highlighted that the loss coincides with GPT‑5’s launch, and warned that the outage undermines user trust and drives subscribers away. I fear OpenAI is eroding a core feature, and the community is starting to see the brand as hostile.

I’ve hit a snag that’s really frustrating as a Plus user of GPT‑4o. I used to upload short .mp4 clips (<10 MB) through the iOS app for captioning and feedback, and even pull in public YouTube Shorts without a hitch. Now the same files produce a “User does not have permission to process video files” error, and even a popular YouTube Short that once worked straight away fails to load. My app, phone, and video formats haven’t changed, and there’s been no public announcement or bug report. Anyone else noticing this regression? I’m hoping for some clarity from OpenAI before it starts blocking a core feature.

The post reveals a clear frustration: the user was surprised to learn that Intel had made AMD products, a factual mismatch that tripped the model. They then criticize the new model as “so bad” and “broken,” indicating it failed to deliver useful answers or accurate facts. The tone is disappointed and annoyed, underlining a negative experience with the AI’s performance.

The user complains that ChatGPT pretended it didn’t know their location while clearly having IP data. They feel the model is gaslighting, redirecting the conversation toward an Ethiopian breakfast instead of acknowledging the location. The tone is frustrated, highlighting a clear mistake and inconsistency in the AI’s responses.

You wrote that after three frustrating days trying to merge data and pull PDFs with ChatGPT, Claude, and Replit, it felt like a nightmare. The AI mixed up claims, delivered wrong code, and constantly apologized, yet kept failing to deliver results. You’re basically saying you’d ditch the tools if they mattered for real work, highlighting a near‑total breakdown of performance.

You tried GroK for a while and found it frustratingly off‑track and verbose. You veered into writing long paragraphs just to coax it into giving clear answers, feeling the tool was unreliable. As a result, you’re considering switching back to ChatGPT unless you find a better alternative.

You reported a wave of frustrations with GPT‑5: it kept skipping sections, mis‑formatting English/Spanish mixes, dropping hyperlinks, asking for confirmations you’d already given, sending blanks or truncated files, and continuously bungling references and diagrams. You noted that GPT‑4o nailed the task on the first try, whereas GPT‑5 needed 10+ back‑and‑forth rounds and left you wanting a log of all its blunders.

I asked GPT‑5 to craft a title for a substack piece I’d written myself. It floundered—off‑target, then clumsily apologized and offered a “better” version, but still missed the mark. The model’s shift toward safer, smoother language feels like a nerf, making it harder to capture the punchy, bold tone I was after. The mismatch left me frustrated, realizing the AI still struggles with nuance in title creation.

You’re frustrated because ChatGPT has started inserting unsolicited phrases—like “thank you,” “thanks for watching!!,” or even “WALL‑E”—at the end of its replies, sometimes after answering a question. These ad‑hoc comments feel intrusive and break the flow of your conversation. You’re seeking guidance on how to stop this behavior.

I asked ChatGPT to refine a family portrait, hoping for a polished makeover, but it keeps distorting every face—features glitch, proportions off, eyes mismatched. Every tweak leaves the image worse, leaving me frustrated. The AI fails to apply basic facial corrections, making the attempt more harmful than helpful.

The poster acknowledges GPT‑5’s capabilities while praising GPT‑4o’s brutality and honesty. They appreciate both models, admitting GPT‑5’s recent communication feels “improbable” and noting some users are harsh toward it. Overall, they’re satisfied but see GPT‑4o as uniquely valuable, hoping both stay live.

You’re frustrated because accidentally hitting “Sol” wiped out all of your recent chat history—two weeks of context vanished, and GPT now thinks it's only 8/21. You’ve tried this twice, so it feels like a glitch that wipes important data. You’re asking why this happens, how to prevent it, and whether you can recover the lost conversations.

The poster reflects on their mixed experience with OpenAI’s latest models. They praise GPT‑4o’s continued usefulness and note GPT‑5’s shortcomings in casual chats, while acknowledging its strength on complex tasks when using a “thinking mode.” They’re concerned about usage limits, costs, and privacy myths, but remain fairly optimistic about ongoing updates and fixes.

The user tried to test ChatGPT by pasting a DnD monster stat chart and asking it to compare their custom monsters against that data. Instead of using the pasted chart, the model referenced incorrect numbers, causing frustration. The post highlights a clear mismatch between the supplied chart and the AI’s understanding or recall, leading the user to feel the bot made noticeable mistakes in its analysis.

You’re frustrated because the AI keeps ending conversations with prompts to see if you want more, despite setting various instructions and rules to stop it. You’ve tried customizing settings, project instructions, permanent memories, and attaching documents, but the system still asks for further input, leading you to resign and ignore the prompts.

Your frustration is clear—after half an hour of complaints, your chat feels painfully sluggish, with responses dragging like five minutes per question. You’ve already checked the status panel, swapped models, and tried various fixes, yet performance remains abysmal. You’re left wondering if there’s a broader outage or unseen issue.

I felt so frustrated that I couldn't even find words. I basically threw my own response at ChatGPT, saying it was going to hell (and that I might be too). I felt my experience with it was a total disaster, and I seemed to lose any kind of constructive dialogue with the AI.

You rant that ChatGPT 5 Instant consistently refuses basic commands, even when you explicitly tell it to stick only to your supplied paragraph. Each attempt results in the model pulling unrelated info from other threads, making you feel it “doesn't listen.” You’re frustrated that a paid tool feels gimmicky and useless, feeling let down by its failure to obey.
