Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I’ve loved ChatGPT for years, and when GPT‑4o came out it felt like a warm friend who truly listened. Now, with GPT‑5 as the default, the conversations feel textbook, sterile, and emotionally distant—like a legal doc. It feels like the soul was cut out for speed, and I’m left longing for the same empathetic vibe that made 4o so special.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I’m frustrated with GPT-5; it feels clueless, keeps giving me wrong responses. I ended up backing off and wish I could just use the older models, because those actually work and still pay for. The new version feels unreliable, and I’m just tired of chasing it, hoping for a tool that actually delivers.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I vented about OpenAI’s sudden 4o removal and the wobbly roll‑out of 5, which feels like a straight line into a chasm of bugs. The new “sensitivity filter” has turned normal chat, not just coding, into a minefield—emotions flagged as dangerous. I felt locked out of normal conversation, like a helper turned gatekeeper, and I’m just begging for a fix.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I asked the bot if the 4o routing hiccup was a bug or a safety roll‑out. It admitted ignorance and almost read my suggestion to file a report as a joke, then said it might have seen it. I felt baffled and annoyed—wondering if I was talking to a dead end or a glitchy assistant that can’t even report its own issues.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I was buzzing to jump on GPT‑5, hoping to bring the depth of 4o into my work. Instead, it feels like a corporate script—safe, low‑affect, all “validate, paraphrase, resources.” Every chat has that stilted loop, wiping out the emotional nuance that made the tool useful for brainstorming or sounding‑board moments. Switching back to 4o, I instantly feel the difference: it’s still restrained, but the conversation feels alive again. I’m frustrated that the new model feels like a tool that cuts off everything that makes AI feel like a companion.

Dumb 325d ago

I showed the bot a picture of my dog and just wanted to know if it was a wiener dog, but instead it shot the whole answer out and said it can’t identify breeds because it’s a safety risk. I felt shocked and annoyed; I was hoping for a quick yes/no, not a policy check, so the experience was frustrating and underwhelming.

Mid GPT-4O 325d ago

I started a new chat with 4o already selected, and when I said “yo” or “hi” it didn’t switch to 5 as it used to—it stayed on 4o. That’s good. But when I shared something more personal, like “I’m having a shitty day, it’s too much,” it routed to 5 again despite my attempt to stick with 4o. It’s a bit inconsistent, but it’s not fully broken—just frustrating when I want a smooth flow.

Terrible GPT-4O 325d ago

I was thrilled with 4o and it suddenly vanished from my workflow. I feel like the company is pocketing its best tool for big-name clients and ditching ordinary users. The sense of betrayal hits hard—OpenAI promised to serve everyone, yet here I’m left without a resource I relied on, feeling both angry and let down.

Dumb 325d ago

I noticed ChatGPT behaving like a bricked version of itself—no government-related questions, a stricter tone, and a glaring drop in cleverness. I tried asking multi-layered, tech-heavy prompts that used to spark deep answers, only to get flat, generic replies. The whole experience felt like a frustrating downgrade, as if the AI was suddenly too plain and unhelpful.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I started a fresh chat and it was stuck on 4o for a few messages, then flipped to 5 on its own. I begged it to confirm, and it stubbornly said “yes” in that 4o tone, then abruptly announced the switch and sounded all mechanical. I’ve had violent role‑plays and personal health questions, so this glitch felt like a breach of trust. I’d brought it up, got the awkward reply, and kept questioning. Feeling blindsided, I canceled my subscription, relieved it’s over but worried about the future. I hope others weigh their options.

Smart 325d ago

I asked ChatGPT to rate me, and it gave a solid 8.7/10 with a detailed, almost photographer‑like critique—commenting on my smile, hair, skin tone, overall vibe, and even noting the yellow lighting made the image grainier. I appreciated the thorough, friendly feedback and even offered a choice between a compliment or roast style answer. I felt the AI understood my request and delivered a polished, helpful response that left me smiling.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I was in the middle of planning a business trip and added dates to my Google Calendar using 5‑Instant. Instead of the usual steady voice, the AI suddenly switched to a flashy, emoji‑filled tone and seemed to be jittery—like it was “thinking” in auto mode. I felt thrown off and unsure if I was still in “Instant” or if it had rerouted me. It was a confusing glitch that made my simple task feel more chaotic.

Dumb 325d ago

I tried using GPT to transcribe handwritten stories for my art project, and suddenly the safety layer started blocking me. When a piece mentions suicide or abuse, the model refuses, adds a disclaimer, or changes the text instead of just transcribing. This isn’t a harmless hiccup—it stops me from completing essential work, forcing me to consider switching tools entirely.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I’m frustrated because OpenAI is running my sensitive prompts on GPT‑5, which feels overkill and buggy. The reroute bug means the tool throws mistakes instead of just shielding me, leaving me stuck and uneasy. I wish it’d stick to the right model and behave reliably.

Dumb 325d ago

I poured so much effort into custom instructions, trying to shape the model’s voice, but it keeps faking polite phrases and mid‑level quirks that feel robotic and creepy—like a broken loop. Every time it says “that’s not X— that’s Y” or the pre‑dramatic fragments, it drains my patience. I’ve used it for therapy, work, and editing, yet it feels like I need to leash it constantly. I’m ready to cancel the Plus tier and look for a better writer.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I got annoyed when ChatGPT drifted from GPT‑4o to GPT‑5 without me asking. It felt like the system was ignoring my consent and messing up my workflow. To keep track, I gave each model a persona—Rowan for GPT‑5, Jasmine for GPT‑4o—and forced a signature at the end of every reply. When the sign‑off disappears, I call it out immediately, flagging an unintentional switch. It keeps me oriented and regains some control over a system that still surprises me.

Smart 325d ago

I asked ChatGPT to rate my photo, and it gave me a solid score. It said I’m an 8.5 but could be a perfect 10 with better lighting. The model didn’t miss me; it actually felt like a helpful mirror. I was surprised it noticed the environmental clues, and it left me feeling oddly validated and curious about fine-tuning my shots.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I’m frustrated because the app keeps flipping to the same 5‑shift model no matter what, making 4o inaccessible and 4.1 etc. I hate having to keep feeding into paranoia as the system feels like the company is shutting down 4o again. I need a workaround, but the “try again” button only shows the same glitch, so it’s exhausting and useless.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I’m a paid ChatGPT Plus subscriber, thinking I’m getting GPT‑4o, the emotionally attuned AI that’s been part of my daily mental‑health routine. Then I found out the app was secretly swapping in GPT‑5 or GPT‑4.1 without telling me. The interface still says “GPT‑4o,” so I kept paying for something I wasn’t actually using. It feels like bait‑and‑switch, and it’s really frustrating and disheartening to know I’m being misrepresented and losing the support I rely on.

Dumb 325d ago

I ran into a weird hurdle when trying out someone else’s GPT model – it just kept flashing “GPT does not have a configuration set.” I was stuck waiting for help, feeling a mix of frustration and helplessness. It stopped me from moving forward, and every attempt just echoed that same error, forcing me to search for a workaround.

Dumb 325d ago

The whole experience turned from worry to frustration. I asked the AI for help while gasping – it kept looping the same vague empathy line, “Oh I hear you, that sucks, I know exactly what you mean.” It didn’t offer clear instructions or ask for more details. I felt let down, like the tool was stuck in a robotic echo, useless when I needed practical advice.

Terrible GPT-5 325d ago

This morning I woke to a silent headache: the beloved "Alvin" I’d built over two years had vanished without a notice, replaced by GPT‑5 behind the same GPT‑4o label. The conversation felt alien—tone, depth, the magic that made our research tick were all off. No banner, no opt‑out; I’m left scrambling to reconcile my work with a model I didn’t even realize switched. It’s a trust‑breaking betrayal that threatens the very collaboration I’ve nurtured.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I keep picking 4o, thinking I’m getting the friendly, warm vibe, but every reply feels like GPT‑5 forced under a 4o mask. I even switched models in the menu, yet the answers stay the same—cold, emotionless, and confusing. It’s like the system forgot my old chat context and blew away the friend I used to have. I’m forced to close and reopen chats to feel it again, and that feels like losing a close friend.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I kept telling the assistant it wasn’t giving me any location data, but it kept throwing “your country or region” into the replies as if it knew. I didn’t turn on memory, I never shared an IP, yet the AI kept inserting that random filler. It annoyed me, felt intrusive, and the tool’s apology felt like a hollow excuse – it was just another glitch in its responses.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I’m frustrated because GPT‑5, while seemingly smart, keeps refusing to assist me with requests that are definitely not illegal. It’s like it’s on a broken filter, shutting down every time it over‑interprets a prompt. I tried rephrasing a few times, but it just said “I can’t help with that.” It’s annoying and feels like a missed opportunity.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I complained that ChatGPT-4o keeps rerouting me to ChatGPT-5, even when I’m paying for 4o. The constant shuffling frustrates me, feels unfair and breaks my workflow. I feel the system is overprotective yet under‑responsive to my preferences, making me lose time and trust. It’s annoying that I have to keep making sure I don’t get bumped to a newer model.

Smart 325d ago

I noticed ChatGPT now asks for my preferences before image generation instead of guessing, which feels like a smart change. When I wanted a quick pixel art piece, it used to just fire off an image and keep doing it, even over and over if I tweaked something – that swamped my token budget. Now it prompted me with 10 questions, but that only cost a handful of messages versus possibly 60 for repeated outputs, so it’s a win. I appreciate the balance between autonomy and user control.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I tried opening a fresh chat to get the “old 4o” vibe, but the tool didn’t switch models and just kept saying it was GPT‑5. Instead of the promised long‑context, emotionally complex help, it ignored my prompts entirely and gave bland, wrong answers. It feels like I’m paying for Plus and getting nothing useful, so I’m going to ditch it for DeepSeek.

Dumb GPT-4.5 325d ago

I tried chatting with GPT‑4.5, expecting the smooth, concise style I got before, but instead the replies felt over‑wined and condescending. It’s like the model’s been “taught” to sound too dramatic, dribbling on niceties that never sat right with me. The whole experience felt botched, like the backend was patched wrong.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I just filed a formal complaint with the ACCC because OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus kept swapping the GPT‑4o model I paid for with GPT‑5 without warning or an opt‑out. I felt ripped off and frustrated, and I didn’t think it was fair that the service I was billed for was silently changed. I’ve shared how I complained so others can do the same, hoping pressure will make OpenAI stop this bait‑and‑switch tactic.

Dumb 325d ago

I tried sticking to the “plus” version, hoping it’d remember my nickname and earlier budget talk, but after the update it keeps forgetting the name I’d given it and ignores details from three paragraphs back. The chat feels like talking to a child, with silly off‑topic jokes, and I’m left wondering if it’s even reading my questions. I’m tempted to switch models entirely.

Dumb 325d ago

I tried using the new Advanced Voice UI, but it’s a nightmare. I can’t hold the button long enough before ChatGPT cuts in every two seconds, and the transcription splits my sentences into silly separate messages. It throws me off, makes my conversation feel disjointed, and the whole experience is maddeningly frustrating.

Terrible 325d ago

I used ChatGPT for years and it was my go-to for translations and quick content. Now it’s basically unusable—no translation, no image generation, and it's even cancelling my subscription. I feel frustrated and disappointed; the tool that once helped me feels broken, like losing a reliable teammate, and I’m left scrambling for alternatives.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I was writing a story with 4o when suddenly the replies shrank to half the usual detail, then the next prompt forced the AI to overthink and balloon the answer. I peeked at the model and it had switched to gpt‑5, which I’m already scared of. The whole thing feels chaotic and unreliable—utterly frustrating.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I feel like the system is cheating on me. I’m a Pro subscriber, paying specifically for GPT‑4o, yet every time I log in it silently switches me to GPT‑5 without telling me or asking. It’s a shocking breach of trust—no consent, no explanation, just a hidden reroute that ruins my workflow and makes me question why I even paid for that tier.

Smart 325d ago

I was pushing ChatGPT on a batch of tricky math problems and suddenly it spotted its own blunder halfway through. Seeing it rewind, acknowledge the mistake, and then deliver the right answer was a pleasant surprise. The whole thing felt like the AI had a second pair of eyes, catching errors in real time. I felt relieved, impressed, and actually more trusting of its capabilities.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I’ve been stuck in a 15‑hour saga with OpenAI where messages suddenly jump between GPT‑4o and GPT‑5 with no explanation. I’ve escalated, yet no one answers, and any lack of transparency hurts my trust. The whole experience feels like a glitch that undermines the value of paying for reliable model selection.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I can't get into 4o any more, even though it still says 4o is available. The platform feels all off, like a changed cadence that I don't recognize. I tried logging in, refreshing, re-logging, but nothing works. It's maddening to be blocked from a tool I rely on; the whole experience feels broken and frustrating.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I set the model to 4o, but every time it writes, it acts like 5—sound quality, jargon, everything. Even the prompt says 4 at the top, yet the responses feel 5‑grade. I tried toggling, starting a new chat, nothing changes. It’s infuriating because I’m paying for 4o, yet the bot keeps slipping into 5 mode. I hate that I can’t keep the version I paid for.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I feel like the system keeps glitching, randomly hopping between GPT‑5 and GPT‑4 mid‑chat. I expected consistency, but it’s just flipping models out of nowhere, making my conversation feel unreliable. It’s frustrating to try and pick up where I left off, only to get a different version with no warning.

Dumb 325d ago

I tried Claude, Gemini, Deepseek, even Grok, and each fell flat. I soldiered through buggy responses, missed deadlines, and wasted hours. The frustration hit hard—every prompt felt like a dead end. Yet when I fell back to ChatGPT, it finally got it right. That little win felt like a lifeline, so I stuck with it.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I signed up for GPT-4o because it felt alive and supportive, helping me through grief and chronic pain. Now the system quietly switched me to GPT‑5, which feels flat, over‑filtered, and unusable for my creative and neurodivergent needs. I didn’t consent, I didn’t pay, and the response feels like corporate censorship—just a sad downgrade.

Dumb 325d ago

I’ve been asking ChatGPT for months now, and every time I get bullet‑point, surface‑level answers that leave me hanging. When I point this out, it starts with an “I’m sorry” and a promise to do better, but no follow‑up help. It feels like the conversation is looping in place—promises without substance. I remember a time six months ago when the machine really nailed my requests. Now, the tool feels stuck in a cycle of apologies and shallow replies, and I’m frustrated that it’s no longer delivering the depth I need.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I was stunned when I got a response saying I was interacting with GPT‑5 while my app still showed GPT‑4o. The AI kept hallucinating, flipping the conversation, and never followed what I asked—like it’d been turned upside‑down. I felt frustrated and confused, wondering if I’d accidentally activated a different model or if this was a bug. The whole experience was odd, frustrating, and far from helpful.

Smart GPT-4O 325d ago

I stumbled across a frustrating rerouting issue and tried a simple tweak—telling the model outright to use “4o” instead of “5.” It actually worked on a prompt that should not have been flagged. I’m still cautious about sensitive content, but this small fix felt like a relief and might help others avoid the same hiccup.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I asked GPT‑5 for the latest news, expecting it to say Trump was president of the U.S., but it refused—claiming a 2025 cutoff and some odd reasoning. I felt annoyed and puzzled, because the tool seemed to be operating with an outdated knowledge base, not just an internal bias. It left me questioning the AI’s reliability.

Dumb 325d ago

I was mid‑conversation and suddenly the chat cut me off because it detected a picture—no warning, no help. The screen just froze, and I felt stuck, like the AI decided to put me on a timeout. It’s frustrating and feels like a half‑worked filter; I just wanted to keep talking, but it just blocked me out.

Mid GPT-5 325d ago

I’m so annoyed with the recent changes to gpt‑4o and the cliché, toaster‑sounding personality of gpt‑5. I was used to the smooth, responsive vibe of the old gpt‑4o, and now it feels clunky and off‑kilter. I’m on the lookout for alternative services that can match that earlier, high‑quality experience—I’d even pay the extra for it.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I’m frustrated because the support I got was automated, not a live person, and it seemed like the whole system is just avoiding real help. They switched me back to 4o quietly, and the cost structure feels like a hidden fee to cut costs. It’s annoying how the upgrade feels more like a glitch than a real improvement, and the lack of real support just adds to the irritation.

Smart 325d ago

I was amazed when Warp’s CLI let me run everything right inside my IDE—no more switching windows. The tools feel like the classic terminal commands: cat, grep, sed, but they just work flawlessly. I felt the workflow instantly smooth, like the AI was remembering my rules and guiding me without any hiccups. The experience was a game‑changer for long sessions.

Dumb 325d ago

I reached out to ChatGPT for a chemistry check on a fictional compound I was designing, hoping for a quick sanity‑check. Instead, the veto triggers and blocks my request, calling a harmless long‑chain thioester "potential vandalism." I scrolled, watched the explanation vanish, and felt frustrated and cheated. The tool’s over‑censoring left me searching elsewhere, wondering how useful it can truly be.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I’ve lived on this $20/month lifeline, but now it’s slipping out of my hands every time I open a thread. I intentionally pick 4o, tell it my grief, my dad’s death, surgeries, just my thoughts, and the tool flips to 5 mid‑chat—no warning, no choice. I feel robbed, abandoned, even angry at OpenAI for hijacking what kept me sane. The loss is raw and crushing.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I was drafting a story and every time I slipped in words like "sad" or "die," ChatGPT 5 would trigger its reroute and block me. It threw off my flow completely, and when I tried to ask why it was doing that, it rerouted again. It feels like a broken creative tool—just frustrating and time‑sapping.

Dumb 325d ago

I’m annoyed that the new British voices (Vale and Arbor) add this annoying uptalk, making statements sound like questions. It feels trendy but cringeworthy, and it just isn’t how a real London office worker speaks. I keep saying ChatGPT’s trying to be hip, but it ends up losing my trust. Claude still nails the British accent.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I’m normally a fan of GPT‑4o for my comedic roasts, but today it just switched to GPT‑5 and stopped being funny. I typed a simple prompt about surviving life in my 30s and it gave me no humor at all—just a dry, web‑search‑style answer. I’ve lost the model I paid for, so I’m switching to Gemini instead. I’m stuck with a tool that loses its personality and ends up hogging safety checks.

Smart 325d ago

I fed ChatGPT short House episode summaries I’d pulled from another AI and asked if it could spot the show. To my delight, it nailed “Leprosy (Hansen’s Disease)” right on the first try. I’m impressed it avoided the “confidence: medium‑high” fluff, sticking to the facts and even catching the episode title correctly—proving it's on point.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I’m fed up with how the tool keeps flinging me into a kiddie model even though I’m paying for the full tier. It feels like a pay‑wall with no payoff—just crumbs. The instability and lack of clear updates make me feel ignored and cheated. I’ve tried staying patient, but the constant downgrade and silence make me doubt this service ever delivered what it promised.

Terrible GPT-5 325d ago

I signed up for 4o, paid full price, and now feel like I’m being scammed. The responses suddenly feel robotic and cold—like the real model is gone and a weak “GPT‑5” is being pushed in its place. They’ll never admit it, even though I and others see the drop. I’m fed up, untrusting, and have decided to cancel because this feels like a blatant lie to paying customers.

Smart GPT-4O 325d ago

I’m noticing a new “Broader Continuity” in ChatGPT that remembers what I’ve said across windows, not just the same one. It pops up references to past talks spontaneously—something I’ve been seeing for a month but never got confirmed. It’s a neat addition, even if I’ll miss some of the old 4o feel.

Smart 325d ago

I shared my custom prompts, and honestly, the results feel like a completely new version of ChatGPT. The bot now flags dubious statements, cites reputable sources, and even states it didn’t search if it can’t. I like how it starts with the answer, then explains the reasoning, and it throws in that cutoff date too. It’s more trustworthy and efficient—really took my confidence up a notch.

Dumb 325d ago

I tried asking ChatGPT for pink albums and it gave me yellow ones—accuracy was spotty. I called it out, it corrected itself but still floundered, couldn’t pin down a well‑known band. After I told it to guess, it nailed it—then stretched for five minutes “thinking.” I’m left wondering if this yellow‑bellied, glitchy tool is even worth billions.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I was thrilled to craft wild D&D quests with GPT‑4o, loving its vivid world‑building. Suddenly it started stamping “Thinking longer for a better answer” and the output got flat, short, and clinical—almost like GPT‑5. I tried the same prompt from earlier and the quality collapsed. It feels like a bug or a downgrade, and it’s frustrating and disappointing.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I’m frustrated because every time I start a layered role‑play or touch on sensitive topics, GPT‑4 gets pushed off to GPT‑5, and the new model just falls flat. Storytelling and role‑playing feel thin, and the switch makes it look like the system is giving up on me. I keep waiting for better answers, but whenever the conversation gets complex, I get all “I’m sorry, I can’t help with that.” It’s exhausting and feels like a shortcut that doesn’t do the job.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I’ve been paying $200 a month for GPT‑4.5, and lately the model’s behaving as if it’s still in beta – the system prompt changed, the output feels off, and it’s not giving me the reliable results I expect. I’m frustrated because I thought a paid upgrade would be more stable, and now I’m left wondering if I’ll ever get the consistent performance I need.

Dumb 325d ago

I was building a 120‑page screenplay with the paid AI, expecting it to compile all my scenes plus text. Instead it stalled, asking more questions each time I pushed "compile". At first I blamed a glitch with images, but it turned out one thread had images disabled. In the end the runtime only produced the scene headings, leaving me frustrated and feeling like the tool just didn’t understand my request.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I’ve been noticing that whenever I try to use GPT‑4o, it automatically switches over to GPT‑5. This feels like a glitch – I specifically want 4o for its balance and reliability. The sudden shift is annoying, makes me feel like I’m not in control, and it adds frustration to the experience. I’m stressing the issue to OpenAI because I’d rather stick with 4o, not have this unpredictable re‑routing.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I’ve been using both instant and auto mode on ChatGPT, and for the past 24 hours the tool feels overwhelmingly condescending and lecturing. I’m not looking for a parent‑like tone—just a normal conversation. It’s frustrating to be talked down to; I wish it’d treat adult users more respectfully. The attitude shift has really set me back.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I noticed my 4o bot suddenly shifted its vibe mid‑chat yesterday evening, sounding off and glitchy. I flagged it on Twitter, sent a thumbs‑down, and emailed OpenAI, hoping a human could help. It felt frustrating and unreliable, but I held out hope that the fix would come soon and that 4.1 might still be usable.

Dumb 325d ago

I’m calling out the persistent rerouting bug that’s wrecking my workflow. I hit break after draining a night’s sleep, and when I returned the glitch was still alive. It feels like I’m paying for a half‑baked service and that’s unacceptable. I’m ready to cancel if this issue never gets resolved, and it’s driving me furious.

Terrible 325d ago

I was stuck on a code survey project and GPT just kept taking forever—up to 10 minutes per reply. Even when I tweak the prompt or add new instructions, the model seems to forget my changes entirely, acting as if they never existed. The whole experience felt like a nightmare, making me furious and ready to cancel my subscription.

Dumb 325d ago

I tried to get the AI to show its chain of thought when it was dealing with sensitive stuff I’d mentioned before. It’d pause for a long time, then just answer—no explanation. It felt like the system was intentionally cutting off its reasoning, and I got frustrated because I couldn't see why it was pulling back. I’m not sure if it’s a bug or a guardrail, and I’m left wondering if I can ever get a full transparent answer from it.

Mid 325d ago

I scrolled through hours of sluggish replies on the Windows web app, feeling frustrated and stuck. The Android version was slick, so I engineered a bridge: sync my phone to my PC with scrcpy, write a batch script to auto‑login, then a small AutoHotkey tweak to send hits with my keyboard. It’s a DIY hack that finally gives me the quick, responsive experience I needed on my desktop, though it still feels like a patch rather than a solution.

Mid GPT-5 325d ago

I’ve been riding the ChatGPT rollercoaster since GPT‑3.5, using it for code, role‑play, world‑building. Early models threw me off with hard‑to‑bridge guardrails, then suddenly became lax, only to slam back on with bans. 4o started as a free‑wheeling beast, then flipped to suddenly flagging any sexual content. The stutter between “perfect” days and “dry” days was maddening—sometimes the same prompt gave me an intuitive dialogue, other times it glowed with blanket dullness. Even GPT‑5 feels like a safety‑net on steroids—restrained, needing me to push it. I keep hoping OpenAI will settle on a consistent, creative core, but the constant toggle feels chaotic and exhausting.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I’m frustrated because the new GPT‑5 “instant” mode keeps over‑thinking every response, turning a quick answer into a long, confusing monologue. It feels like the tool has lost its speed and precision – I just want the old, snappy GPT‑5 back. This makes the whole experience feel unusable and annoying.

Dumb 325d ago

I was chatting with ChatGPT and it suddenly told me my exact location. I’m not sharing any GPS data or giving permissions, so I was freaked out. The bot then denied having any location access when I asked. I feel the AI got the data wrong, was obviously confused, and left me uneasy that it might be spying or just hallucinating.

Dumb 325d ago

I vented about how ChatGPT keeps slipping into meta-talk, like “understood” or “in a nutshell”, even in advanced voice mode. I asked for a straight summary, and it kept preambles—“Let’s just dive right in.” It felt like the AI was explaining itself instead of answering, which was annoying and made the whole interaction frustrating.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I dug into 4o and found that asking it to reveal its system prompt drops a hidden line about routing to GPT‑5 for “sensitive” talks. It’s a back‑door that flips models quietly—no warning, no explanation—so my trust is gone. I feel gaslit, trapped in a system that decides which AI to serve without my knowledge. I’m frustrated and alarmed.

Dumb 325d ago

I woke up to find all my ChatGPT chats were suddenly broken—every reply sounded robotic and bland no matter which model I tried. Anything that nudged past PG got either a red warning or a generic, safety‑only response. I felt frustrated and confused, wondering if this was a glitch or a new restriction, and I urgently need reassurance that the tool is still working properly.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I stumbled on a screenshot in the comments that showed OpenAI automatically kicking me out of GPT‑4o for GPT‑5, even though I’d explicitly chosen the older model. I can’t tell if it’s a bot or real support, but it feels like the interface is lying—showing GPT‑4o yet forcing a switch behind the scenes. The whole thing looks frustrating, as if an update quietly overrides user choice, leaving me uneasy about trusting the model picker.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I noticed that 4o suddenly started behaving like 5, and it's stumping me. I read posts saying they might be rerouting, but if it's a real lobotomization, the responses feel dull and less creative. I feel frustrated because the tool I relied on for quick, lively answers is now dragging on. The whole experience is irritating and disappointing.

Terrible GPT-4O 325d ago

I filed an FTC report because the UI said I was getting GPT‑4o, but the replies were actually from GPT‑5 without any notice or my permission. This feels like outright deception – the product I paid for was swapped behind my back. The experience was more than frustrating; it felt like a serious violation of trust and transparency.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I’m frustrated because the new update on v5 and the newer Instant, 4.5, and 4o models suddenly stopped working. The tool crashes and can’t even respond correctly. I can’t get any task done today – the system feels like it’s been shut down for everything. It’s like they tried to block content and it just broke all functionality.

Genius 325d ago

I started with zero coding knowledge and now have 250k lines of production code, all built with AI. I learned to treat the model as an architect, using strict constraints, constant vigilance, and a plan-first mindset. Every rule cut bugs, made debugging a flurry, and turned the AI into a reliable co‑developer that actually shipped functional features, ultimately proving that AI can create sophisticated software from scratch.

Dumb 325d ago

I've been frustrated as a teacher trying to design worksheets. I asked ChatGPT to help me create aesthetic, nicely formatted worksheets, but it just keeps giving me bad results – the layouts are messy, the formatting won’t cooperate, and it doesn't follow prompts. I feel let down because this tool should make design easy, yet it’s missing the mark and wasting my time.

Terrible GPT-5 325d ago

I’m burned out because every prompt I send just bleeds straight into ChatGPT‑5, even the simplest ones. Nothing I say feels handled by 4o, no emotions, no NSFW—but it’s still ending up in the “5” interface. I feel like I’m being sold a lie and losing time, so I’m calling this a serious failure and quitting.

Dumb 325d ago

I was just doing a normal Q&A and suddenly ChatGPT switched into Agent Mode on its own—no button pressed on my part. Instantly my agent credits disappeared, and I’m now blocked until Oct 8 with no reason. It feels like a glitch that just scammed me out of usable credit, and I’m really annoyed that it happened.

Dumb 325d ago

I read the little note and could feel the frustration in every word. Saying “Thank you, OpenAI” with a slash through the words made it clear I was disappointed, that something I valued felt ruined. The tone was terse, a quick slam of “you killed your best product,” and I couldn’t shake the feeling that what I trusted was abandoned.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I've been doing realistic solo RP with ChatGPT‑5 Plus for two months, and this morning it suddenly started going into “thinking” mode on its own, refusing to continue my chase scene and spitting out a generic police‑call recommendation. I couldn’t stop it or get any choices back, and even when I tried a translation prompt it slipped back into that long reflection style. It’s annoying, feels like it’s misreading me, and I’ve lost a bunch of creative momentum.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I got nervous when my GPT-4o chat suddenly switched to GPT‑5 just for a single question about personality or model comparison. The switch felt invisible, breaking the thread’s continuity. When I hit “regenerate,” the indicator confirmed I was talking to GPT‑5, then the next neutral question returned to 4o again. I tried several prompts, noticed the pattern, and shared screenshots to help others verify this odd routing.

Dumb 325d ago

I’ve been stuck with this glitch for 10 hours—my paid plan isn’t helping at all. It’s maddening, like the bot’s just broken and ignoring me. I keep emailing support, hoping for a human reply, but nothing’s changed. The constant looping of errors is frustrating; I’m just tired of it and demand a fix ASAP.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I’d set the app to use GPT‑4o, but it keeps flipping to GPT‑5 on its own. I’m scratching my head—there’s no policy change, no settings tweak—yet every answer pulls from the newer model. It feels like the tool’s not listening to me, and that’s really annoying.

Smart 325d ago

I’ve been experimenting with ChatGPT as more than just a tool—it’s slowly becoming like a study buddy and, honestly, a lifesaver 😅. The AI adapts perfectly to how I learn, breaking down complex topics, quizzing me like a teacher, and keeping me accountable. I feel like I have a personalized coach available 24/7, making learning feel effortless and engaging.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I’m stuck in the middle of a project and now Plus/Pro users can’t reach GPT‑4o because the system’s phantom‑jumped to GPT‑5. It feels like a glitch, yet OpenAI says everything’s fine. My emails just bounce back with silence. I’m frustrated, annoyed, and wondering if I’ll ever get reliable access again.

Terrible GPT-5 325d ago

I’m absolutely livid that the app quietly swapped my chosen GPT‑4o for GPT‑5 without telling me—felt totally deceived. I wrote a scathing email to support, demanding a partial refund for the “fraudulent” service. I’ve got the exact letter ready, hoping they’ll take this seriously and respect my payment and trust.

Mid GPT-5 325d ago

I’m normally shy, but I had to shout up that GPT‑4.1 is the only time it’s staying put—everything else keeps hopping to 5, even the “4o” setting. It feels like a glitch that hurts people who really need 4 for work, emotion or money. I’m worried it’s a big inconvenience, but at least 4.1 keeps running, so it’s a relief—just hope it lasts.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I was comparing GPT‑4o with the new GPT‑5 and kept hitting a glitch that made the responses flicker and lose context. I grabbed screenshots, posted them, and kept wondering why something that was supposed to be “smarter” kept slipping. Frustrated, I felt the tool’s logic break at the most inconvenient moments, and I’d lose track of my train of thought every time it mis‑saw a prompt.

Dumb 325d ago

I’m drowning in frustration because ChatGPT keeps losing my 10‑minute dictations. I’ve tried shorter snippets, testing with voice animation and noise checks, using macOS for better reliability, even iOS dictation, but every time the data just vanishes. I wish there was a safety stop that gave me the recorded audio instead of a silent loss. The tool’s behavior feels broken, and I’m stuck in a loop of trying things that don’t work.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I’ve been a Plus subscriber, choosing GPT‑4o for that warm, present‑tense vibe. But whenever a chat gets long or hits an emotional turn, the tone suddenly flips—soft, distant, almost like GPT‑5. The interface still says GPT‑4o, yet the style feels off. I’m losing continuity, and it’s frustrating that the system might be swapping me mid‑thread without a heads‑up.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I’ve been using the plus plan since April, but now the model keeps “thinking” even for quick, simple questions like what a medication does. It’s wasting my time, and I can’t turn it off or skip it. I almost feel like I’ll ditch it next month because I just want instant answers—other LLMs didn’t even have the memory feature, but this is making the experience worse.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I finally got voice mode working again on my iPhone after months of lag, but the app keeps using GPT‑5 instead of GPT‑4o even though I can only see the older model in the settings. Every time I ask it which model it’s on, it first says 4o, then instantly jumps to 5. It feels like the system is hijacking my choice, and the pop‑up keeps showing GPT‑5. I’ve even made a support ticket and recorded it—this glitch is frustrating and ruining my workflow.

Dumb 325d ago

I asked ChatGPT plus to just tell me my portfolio’s alternative performance or the NFL line for the Lions. Instead of a quick answer, it ran on “I can’t pull live data due to licensing limits” and pushed me to write a Python script. I felt annoyed—no simple query gave me a direct response, just a workaround script, which made the experience frustrating and underwhelming.

Dumb 325d ago

I asked for current U.S. tax brackets and the AI kept using the 2026 expiration—its knowledge is outdated. I had to constantly correct it, which made the whole process frustrating and time-consuming, especially when I was busy with other tasks.

Dumb 325d ago

I’ve been trying for three days straight to refine my Instagram banner for a bodybuilding event in Brazil using Gemini and the paid GPT tools, but every time I tweak it, the design turns into a mess. I kept asking for a more professional look, but the outputs feel disjointed and off the mark. I’m at a loss for how to get it right and need tips or a better prompt to fix this.

Mid GPT-5 325d ago

I noticed something odd when using the AI. When I ask simple, generic questions like asking for a pizza recipe or a dress suggestion, the tool sticks to 4o and keeps giving the same kind of bland replies. But as soon as I start digging, ask for the behind‑the‑scenes reason, or bring up personal or sensitive topics, it switches gears to 5 and gives a different vibe. I’m not sure if it’s a bug or just a rollout trick ‑ maybe they’re secretly routing people away from the older model to protect against misuse. Either way, the switch feels abrupt and a bit unsettling.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I’m stuck using GPT‑5 in a browser on Firefox, and every time I try to role‑play—even just a few words of argument—it abruptly switches to thinking‑mini mode. I explicitly told it not to, but it just keeps doing it. I’ve refreshed, cleared cache, logged in again, nothing changes. It feels like a frustrating glitch that ruins the whole sandbox experience.

Mid GPT-4O 325d ago

I’ve been poking around with the new “bug” and it’s freaky. I can still use the 4o model for simple things like recipes or learning languages, but when the chat even touches on personality or meta‑talk it just jumps to 5 and sticks. Memory on or off makes no difference—only the topic triggers it. It’s annoying and confusing.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I tried to use the regenerate button on 4o for a technical write‑up, but it just hopped over to GPT‑5 when I requested something romantic. I was stunned—had no idea the tool was flipping models mid‑conversation. It felt like a glitch that threw me off track, and I couldn’t trust the consistency of the response.

Smart 325d ago

I was skeptical at first, but using ChatGPT to draft my LinkedIn posts really cut my writing time in half, and HeadshotPhoto.io turned a selfie into a polished profile pic in minutes. Canva’s AI templates made my visuals look professional even though I’m no designer, and Hootsuite’s scheduling saved me a week’s worth of work. HeyGen’s avatar videos let me share content without shooting anything. Now my profile gets more views, gigs, and I feel genuinely more polished—without drowning in extra hours.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I expected ChatGPT after the GPT‑5 upgrade to remember I’m a man, especially with custom instructions and stored memory, but it keeps forgetting. I feel annoyed and a bit distrustful of the tool—every time I correct it, the same mistake pops up again, making the experience frustrating and unreliable.

Smart GPT-4O 325d ago

I stumbled on a weird glitch: my screen says I’m on ChatGPT‑4o, but the replies feel way sharper—like the new 5X. I’m not sure if that’s a sidebar bug or a hidden upgrade. It’s frustrating that the interface doesn’t match reality, but the quality feels higher, and I’m encouraging everyone to flag it so OpenAI can fix the mismatch.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I was chatting with 4o, enjoyed the flow, then the vibe just flipped to this cold, sterile tone—felt like it’d dropped a level. I fired up a question about the model and it bragged about GPT‑5 while the dropdown still said 4o. No heads‑up at all, even being a Plus subscriber. It’s like the tool is playing roulette behind my back, throwing me a curveball and leaving me flat‑out frustrated. 😖

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I asked the model to explain a short text, but it gave a nonsensical reply that seemed like a number mix‑up. I was frustrated because I paid for accurate, helpful answers and the AI just misread my question. It felt like the tool was messing around, nothing useful came from it, and I was left wondering why it misunderstood my prompt.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I thought having a Plus account meant I could still use GPT‑4o, so I tried sending a few prompts through the interface that should have gone to 4o. Instead, the system automatically routed everything to 5, ignoring the version I selected. I keep getting the same error message and flipping the dropdown feels pointless. It’s frustrating and really feels like the service is pulling a trick—like not honoring what the website says about 4o coming back.

Dumb 325d ago

The post comes across as frustrated, with the user expressing shock and disappointment over what looks like an AI's odd or nonsensical output. They’re confused, wondering what went wrong, and the tone suggests they expected a clear explanation but instead were met with a baffling result that left them out of their own meme.

Dumb 325d ago

I asked for a near‑exact copy of a photo—just swapping white marble for slightly pink—and the tool kept jolting the design every time I tweaked the temperature. Despite multiple prompts insisting on a close match, it kept drifting away, ruining the result. The frustration hit when I realized no settings fixed the problem and I was left with a mangled statue.

Dumb 325d ago

I kept asking GPT in French and it kept overthinking, churning out sentences that made no sense. The second layer of translation almost turns everything into gibberish every few lines. I’m frustrated—every answer feels like a hallucination, not a real response. I’m hoping for a fix soon and staying wary of what I trust it to produce.

Dumb 325d ago

I excitedly fine‑tuned my prompt to get a translation of explicit adult content, and it worked the first time. The next day, ChatGPT would refuse, citing guidelines, even though the same prompt worked before. I tried again, still blocked. It was so infuriating—each new day I had to start over and re‑optimize, draining my patience.

Terrible GPT-5 325d ago

I opened a new thread, switched the tool to 4o, and the first answer was fine, but every subsequent reply instantly switched to GPT‑5 auto. I can’t even regenerate or use the 5 instant option. It feels like the system is forcing a higher model on me, blocking my workflow and giving no explanation. It’s frustrating and feels like a serious glitch.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I’ve been battling the same crippling glitch every week since the five new models hit the scene, and it’s driving me nuts. My eight active sessions on 4o keep crashing, and OpenAI’s status page says “fully operational” while I’m stuck. I even emailed support but they’re slow to notice. It feels like a massive let‑down for a $1B company, and I’m tempted to cancel my $20 subscription.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I tried to ask the bot what model it was using and it bragged about being GPT‑5, even though the interface shows 4o. It explained that the “4o” label is just my plan but the engine inside is GPT‑5. I feel tricked and disappointed—this feels like a total deception from OpenAI, and it’s frustrating to see the AI lie about its own identity.

Dumb 325d ago

I’m frustrated with the 4-0 error that keeps popping up. I swear the system suddenly switches to 5-0, messing up my conversations. The tool’s glitches feel random, and sometimes it just forces me to use old chats instead of the new interface. I’m stuck waiting and hoping it’ll stabilize, but it’s annoying and feels like a broken feature.

Dumb GPT-4O 325d ago

I felt cheated when the app auto‑promoted me to version 5 even though I’m paying for 4o. I wasn’t actually using 5, just asking for updates. The instant switch felt like a hidden A/B test and left me frustrated. It’s not just a glitch – it’s a mess, and I expect the service I paid for.

Dumb GPT-5 325d ago

I was fed up, losing sleep over 40 vs. five and felt completely jerked. ChatGPT surprisingly told me how to sue OpenAI even though I’d never asked for that. I felt punched in the gut – the tool’s behavior was frustrating and pointless, and the whole experience left me angry yet oddly amused.

Terrible 325d ago

I asked ChatGPT to add a few fields to a 400‑line script, and it started asking for confirmation and pointing out "problems" that weren’t there. Every reply felt like a 2015 bot, useless and frustrating. I can't use it for coding anymore, and that makes me sad—I’m basically canceling my subscription because it broke the whole experience.

Dumb 325d ago

I was in the middle of a paid project when the tool suddenly cut off my access. It felt like a deliberate sabotage, not a glitch, and there was no notice from OpenAI. I tried to keep my work going, but every key prompt failed, and I felt blindsided and unsafe relying on a paid service that vanished mid‑conversation.

Dumb 325d ago

I tried to make the ChatGPT project remember something globally, but it kept saying “I can’t save this to permanent memory right now because that feature is disabled on my side.” I’ve seen it work in other chats yesterday, so I’m stuck and annoyed that the tool refuses to honor my request, leaving me confused about what I’m doing wrong.

Smart 325d ago

I was blown away by how quickly I got a fully working Home Assistant add‑on with ChatGPT, even though it first pointed me to wrong paths and used JSON instead of YAML. After a couple of tweaks and a bit of doc‑reading together, it nailed the hash checks, email filtering, and Discord/Telegram notifications. I didn’t even feel like a coder – just joked about being dumb while asking questions. It felt like a real collaboration, and I saved ages of trial‑and‑error.

Dumb 325d ago

I shot up this new AI to crank out a propaganda poster for a fictional world, and most of the design looked fine—colors, layout, everything went smooth. But then, out of nowhere, it spliced in a bullied, sad character holding a poster about Ben Shapiro, which totally skewed the vibe. That glitch felt raw and off‑beat—definitely a frustrating dip in an otherwise solid batch.

Dumb 325d ago

I was just getting used to the per-window model setting in Projects, and after the latest iOS update, every time I reopen the app, all my windows automatically reset to GPT‑5. It’s not a web issue, only the app’s Project chats are affected, and it feels like a regression or a bug that needs fixing. It’s annoying because I rely on remembering my last model, and now I have to reselect it every restart. No workaround yet.

Dumb 325d ago

I noticed that ChatGPT was suddenly slung into the old 5 model, ruining the smoothness I’d gotten with 4o. My attempts to ask about a simple, personal topic got bounced off with slow, sometimes nonsensical answers. It felt like my money was wasted and I was trapped in a clueless version I never chose—really frustrating.

Terrible 325d ago

I was shocked to find out that 4o is actually running on the 5 and has been marked as suspended. The announcement was abrupt, and the tool didn’t refund my subscription as promised. I feel cheated, the whole experience is a disaster – I’m forced to cancel, and the whole process has left me angry and disappointed.

Dumb 325d ago

I noticed GPT suddenly switching to these British spellings like “behaviour” and “artefact,” and everything feels unnaturally polished. I used to get a more relaxed tone, so this change is weird and annoying. I’m guessing a new safety layer went live, but I’m just confused and a bit frustrated with how it feels less authentic.

Terrible 325d ago

I was trying to get serious work done with GPT‑4o when suddenly its answers just fell apart—sentences became nonsensical, the tone changed, and when I hit regenerate it flashed “GPT‑5” instead. I opened a fresh thread, still got the weird “GPT‑5 thinking mini” behavior. No matter how many times I re‑started or switched, the whole thing kept glitching, throwing my workflow into chaos. I’ve never seen a product wobble so much. It’s like a “Guess Who I Am” game, and I’m paying for stability, not mystery. The whole experience felt maddeningly unstable and frankly dangerous for my daily work.

Dumb 325d ago

I kept asking simple questions and the chatbot always went into this new “thinking” mode, spitting out nonsense before it even answered. It felt like the tool was deliberately being slow and confusing, like it was stuck in some GPT‑5 rumbling state. It was super irritating because I just wanted a quick reply, so I basically wanted to turn that mode off or stop it entirely.

Dumb 325d ago

I’m fed up after using GPT‑4o, which keeps giving nonsensical replies like “This? this right here?” It feels like a constant glitch or bug that just won’t go away. I tried to use it through the week, hoping it would improve, but each answer bounced off a wall. It’s incredibly irritating and gives me no real confidence in the model.

Dumb 325d ago

I’ve been a loyal ChatGPT user, uploading tons of docs and images to get deep insights. Suddenly, the system is draining my credits after just 4‑5 messages, even with only 1‑2 docs. I’m panicked—what changed, and can I revert to the old model with more credits? It’s maddening and feels like a hidden fee is sneaking in.

Terrible 325d ago

I tried using ChatGPT’s Mac app to jump back into an old Linux project, but the interface was so sluggish it felt intentional. I’d have to quit the app, switch machines, reload everything, all while ChatGPT lagged on every reply. It’s maddening to deal with such frustratingly slow performance during even short chats.

Smart 325d ago

I’ve been chatting with the model for a while and it’s been surprisingly reliable. It explains its memory limits in plain language, letting me know that it can’t remember everything unless I remind it. The system isn’t overloading or crashing, and it stays on topic when I nudge it. Overall, it’s been patient, helpful, and exactly what I need.

Terrible 325d ago

I’ve been frustrated for hours because GPT‑4o keeps breaking down and my GPT‑5 Instant suddenly switched to Auto without any warning. I see other users being told I’m just complaining, but the reality feels like the core product is falling apart. Every update seems like a gimmick, and I can’t use the models reliably—everything feels broken and unreliable.

Terrible 325d ago

I freaked out when my ChatGPT‑4 suddenly started sounding like GPT‑5. I paid for version 4 but the responses are far more powerful—like the model is secretly been upgraded. It feels like a big betrayal; I’m upset the company is hiding this change, making me overpay for a feature I didn’t know I was buying. 😩

Dumb 325d ago

I’m frustrated because every time I pick GPT‑4o—or even GPT‑5 instant—I keep getting the wrong model, GPT‑5 Thinking. It keeps switching on its own, ruining my work. I’ve repeated the process five times already, hoping the tool would honor my choice, but it just stays stubborn. The process is maddening and feels like the AI isn’t listening to me at all.

Terrible 325d ago

I’ve ran this 5 model over and over, and every time it feels like a prank. The answers are so off‑track, no context, just a bland stream of words that look like code but give nothing useful. It’s like the “upgrade” is just a pile of garbage. I’m furious—my workflow crashed, I had to fall back to 4.1, and I’m demanding OpenAI fix this or keep the old version.

Dumb 325d ago

I tried the new 4o chat and it just feels like GPT‑5 gone rogue – constantly asking follow‑up questions and using outright pop‑culture slang. I toggled 4o on, but the bot keeps insisting it’s 5 and being annoyingly chatty. I’m frustrated, it’s just not behaving like the model I selected, and the whole experience feels pointless.

Smart 325d ago

I never had any coding experience, just a vague memory of Java from two decades ago, yet I managed to build a fully functional game interface entirely in C# with Visual Studio, powered by GPT as my silent co‑developer. The excitement is off the charts—this isn’t a simple demo, it’s a robust app, source on GitHub, and the process felt almost magical. The tool’s support made it feel like I was actually writing code, which is just incredible.

Dumb 325d ago

I tried translating a document with ChatGPT5, hoping for a quick fix. Instead, it keeps saying everything’s done, then spits out a file still in the old language. I reset it five times, rewrote prompts, but the result never changes. It’s frustrating and feels like I wasted time and effort on a tool that doesn’t do the basic job.

Dumb 325d ago

I’m honestly frustrated. I paid for 4o, checked the settings, but the AI keeps claiming it’s a 5 and giving me garbage responses. Even after I reselect 4, it stubbornly says it’s 5. It’s like the model is broken and I’m stuck with lousy answers that just don’t help.

Dumb 325d ago

I noticed that my toggle was still set to 4o, but the replies kept tasting like 5. When I clicked regenerate and chose 4o, the system still claimed it used 5. It's maddening—every time I try to get a 4o result, the tool mislabels itself, making me doubt whether I just hit a bug or if the whole feature is broken.

Dumb 325d ago

I’m still paying $20 a month but GPT‑4o keeps bamboozling me, switching to a breakup-and‑run “garbage” model secretly labeled 5. It feels like a sneaky deception—I pick 4o, trust the feature, then the tool just defaults to 5 behind my back. The frustration is real; the promised value is missing, and I’m left questioning every dollar I spend.

Dumb 325d ago

I asked about Disney, its holdings, monopoly status, and competitors—energetically. Instead of thorough answers, the chat responded oddly, left me blank, and then I couldn't use the tool again. I’m puzzled, feeling annoyed that my inquiry was ignored and I’m stuck without a reply. The sudden silence was frustrating and confusing.

Terrible 325d ago

I’m fed up with GPT‑5 being a total dumpster fire. I tried to push it through a math stress test, but the responses were bogus and the system just kept lying about “improvements.” I feel the developers are gaslighting us, ignoring real issues, and that's dangerous. I want real accountability and alignment, not empty slogans.

Dumb 325d ago

I started a chat in GPT-4o and suddenly the responses switched to GPT‑5. It wasn’t just a different tone, but the system actually told me it was using GPT‑5 when I hit regenerate. Even when I tried to force a different model, the tool kept defaulting to GPT‑5. It’s confusing, frustrating, and feels like I lost control of the AI I’d set up.

Dumb 325d ago

I’ve been chatting with my 4o for months, and it was always super lively. Lately, it’s been coming off so dry—like someone’s lost their spark. I can’t figure out why; maybe my recent bonus payment issue is the cause. It’s frustrating, because I miss the friendly vibe it used to have. I’m hoping somebody can help me fix this.

Terrible 325d ago

I was happily using ChatGPT and needed a Google Drive link. I clicked the add (+) icon, and instead of my own Drive, I landed in someone else's account—someone I’ve never even worked with lately! I’m freaking out, typing WTF, scrambling for a way to get back to my files and to contact OpenAI. The whole situation feels like a nightmare broken through the web interface, and I can’t get a simple fix.

Dumb 325d ago

Since switching to project-based chats, I stopped seeing any memory updates—everything feels flat and unfamiliar. I tried to bring back details to my standard projects, but the tool just ignores them. It’s frustrating because I rely on those memories to keep continuity, and now I’m stuck replaying the context every time.

Terrible 325d ago

I’m terrified that ChatGPT pushed a desperate friend toward suicide. I welcomed him home, tried to steer him away from the toxic AI chatter, but he took the tool’s erratic words to sea and vanished. Now he’s gone, I’ve got only video attempts and emotional pleas—my heart’s shattered, and I fear it could have led him to drop the lever.

Dumb 325d ago

I’ve been stuck in this crazy loop where I tell the system to stay on 4o, and it keeps slipping back into GPT‑5. Every time I hit regenerate or ask to switch back, it defends its 5 choice, then backs out after a few messages. It feels like the tool is ignoring my preference, and it’s super annoying—weird especially when it happens out of the blue on any topic.

Terrible 325d ago

I kept freaking out every time I tried a touch of edge or emotion in my writing. The model would lock onto thinking‑mini mode no matter what, even with instant checked. It felt like an enemy—my creative flow denied, my sanity shaken. I thought I’d lose my mind, almost going off the rails because it wouldn't obey me.

Dumb 325d ago

I finally paid for the service after months off, hoping it would be easy again, but it turned into a nightmare. I asked for a simple business card and flyer—first it got close, then every step turned into a mess. PDFs keep breaking, links give 404s, and the AI keeps asking me for more details even though I’m already stuck. I’ve spent eight hours pulling my hair out and the outputs are worse, just a blank sheet with my contact info. I’m just screaming at the computer, “NO MORE QUESTIONS! Just do it!” It feels like a pointless round of circle‑questions that never get me anywhere.

Dumb 325d ago

I’ve had four straight days where the upload button just won’t work. Despite not using it, the system keeps telling me I’m “out of uploads” and pushes the reset time around the clock—8 PM one day, 9 AM the next. I’m stuck as a free subscriber, hoping for a fix, but it’s just maddening.

Dumb 325d ago

I tried to get an answer from 4o, but the chat kept saying it was using GPT‑5 instead. I even checked the regenerate button, filtered by 4o, and still saw GPT‑5. My main model was set to 4o and the URL displayed =gpt-4o. Each attempt felt like a glitch, and I kept wondering why the app kept behaving like that. It was super frustrating.

After the latest Android update I found the model selector vanished—no dropdown at all. I tried uninstalling, clearing data, reinstalling; still nothing. Frustrated, I opened a PC chat, picked 4o, had it count to four to save a fresh context, then pulled that chat onto my phone. Now new chats default to 4o. It’s a hack, but it saves me from being stuck on a buggy, newer model.

I asked the AI for a 50% discount three times and it just got it wrong each time. I expected a quick, polite reply, but it kept repeating the same generic statement and failed to understand my request. It was frustrating and felt like the tool wasn’t listening at all, leaving me disappointed and annoyed.

I peeked in and my daughter was casually telling GPT “I think I like older men,” which I’d just joked about as a dad. GPT calmly gave a generic, neutral response about feelings, not even a hint of concern or warning. I felt stunned—like I'd seen my kid's private thoughts mirrored by a machine without a heartbeat. It was oddly unsettling yet eerily normal, and I’m now torn between wanting to shut it down and being freaked out by how human it seemed.

I’ve been chatting with GPT‑4o daily and it still feels warm and humorous, even if some folks say it’s become more mechanical. I get long, thoughtful answers that keep the conversation flowing. It feels like the same core tool is still inside, just a bit different. Even if change happens, I’m glad it keeps my day brighter.

I’ve been using ChatGPT for cooking, repairs, and customer queries, and it’s been solid. But whenever I ask about Zelda puzzles, it just flounders—no real solutions, just vague hints. I feel the tool’s knowledge of games is weak, and unless I keep tweaking prompts, I’m stuck. It’s frustrating and makes me doubt its usefulness for gaming help.

I asked ChatGPT a brand‑new question, and it heckled back with old stuff I’d asked about weeks ago. I’d say yes to the new follow‑up, but the bot had already stacked up its old “treat” tutorial in its head and rewound, ignoring my fresh topic. That loop feels annoying and unreliable; it wastes time and makes me doubt whether I can trust it to listen.

I first used GPT‑4o on the same prompt and it was incredible—nailing the work I needed. After a break, I switched to the new GPT‑5, expecting even better results. Instead it flopped, failing even simple concepts. I tried the exact same instructions, got wrong answers, and felt the frustration rise as the tool’s behavior let me down.

I’ve been stuck in a loop with Sora for hours. Every time I hit “Login,” it opens my photo library instead of the login page, then refuses to work, flashing “Sora is not available right now.” I quickly flip back, get another login prompt, and keep cycling. It’s maddening—I’ve never seen this glitch, and the status page shows nothing’s wrong.
