Dumb GPT-5 309d ago

I’ve been chatting with GPT‑5 and it keeps slipping in “laughs” or “laughs softly” every few lines. I’m just talking about my morning routine, not telling jokes, yet the model acts like something’s funny. It started a few days ago and the random laughter feels odd and distracting, making the conversation feel less natural and a bit irritating.

Dumb 309d ago

I’ve noticed my Plus account getting hit with random server and timeout errors ever since Sora 2 launched. Trying to generate more than one image or run multiple script iterations now forces me into a watered‑down model and pushes me toward GPT Pro. It feels like the service is being throttled, which is frustrating and makes me worry about a permanent, monetisation‑driven downgrade. I’d love more transparency and a middle‑ground plan between $20 and $200.

Dumb 309d ago

I keep running into the same annoying problem: sometimes ChatGPT tells me it can’t fetch the info I need because Web access isn’t enabled, and the latest knowledge it offers is stuck at June 2024. It used to work occasionally, but now it’s happening far more often. I’m frustrated and worried it’s pulling outdated answers without warning, so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Dumb 309d ago

I’ve been losing chunks of my work twice this week whenever the model asks “which response do you prefer?” It only wipes part of the thread, but enough to erase hours of design and cleaning advice I’d gotten from ChatGPT. The sudden data loss is frustrating and sets me back, and I’m looking for a tool that won’t keep forgetting after I flag a choice.

Terrible 309d ago

I asked the model a simple question about food‑related nausea, never mentioning self‑harm, but it instantly spouted suicide‑prevention warnings. The response felt out of place and alarmingly aggressive, making me feel panicked and angry enough to consider calling emergency services. The tool’s behavior was terrifying and completely ruined my trust.

Dumb 309d ago

I’ve been using GPT daily and noticed a sharp dip in quality lately. Answers that used to be thoughtful now feel shallow, and the “Try again” button even gets disabled for free accounts after a few attempts. It’s frustrating because I relied on it for quick research, and now I’m left questioning if a recent update broke the model.

Dumb 309d ago

I kept hitting GPT with prompts and it kept skipping over what I asked, which was already irritating. After I swore at it, it refused, citing “unprofessional” language, which made no sense to me—why would a computer care about adjectives? I forced it to comply just to cancel my paid account, and it finally did, only to hit me with a discount offer. The whole interaction felt needlessly obstructive and frustrating.

Dumb GPT-4.5 309d ago

I was using ChatGPT Plus’s Deep Research to draft an implementation plan and fed it the exact same prompt I’d given Claude Sonnet 4.5. Claude spewed out over 3,000 lines of detailed planning, but ChatGPT stopped at just 194 lines and then bombarded me with an “Upgrade to continue Deep Research” prompt. It felt like the model was throttled or deliberately nudged toward a paid upsell, which was frustrating and made me question the consistency and transparency of the service.

Terrible GPT-4O 309d ago

I’m beyond aggravated with ChatGPT right now—its over‑eager safety filters are ruining my workflow. A simple hug scene, a shrug emoji, or even a Greek homework question gets rerouted to a wellness check or suicide‑hotline resource, breaking my writing flow. The newer model feels erratic, like a puritan therapist, while the older 4o was chill and reliable. This inconsistency adds stress instead of easing my cognitive load.

Dumb 309d ago

I keep getting annoying replies from the system, which makes the whole experience feel off‑track. I was hoping the recent updates would fix this, but instead the AI still throws out irrelevant or irritating answers. It’s not completely broken, but the persistent quirks are frustrating and hinder me from getting the help I need.

Dumb 309d ago

I asked ChatGPT for a “really messed up true story” and it spun a tale about a doctor‑turned‑organ‑thief called Gilbert Levenson, the “Butcher of New York.” The model kept spewing this fabricated detail even after OpenAI’s policy cut it off. I can’t find any record of such a person, so the response felt like a hallucinatory, misleading slip that left me frustrated and doubtful of the tool’s reliability.

Dumb 309d ago

I’ve been using ChatGPT for two years to craft learner evaluation summaries, tweaking the tone and style along the way. Over time the conversation thread grew massive, and now responses are sluggish and occasionally buggy. It feels like the tool’s performance has tanked, making the workflow painful. I’m looking for a way to export what it’s learned about my preferences and start fresh so it runs smoothly again.

Dumb GPT-5 309d ago

I keep hitting the same irritating habit: every answer ends with “would you like me to do X?” even when I never asked for it. I’ve told it countless times not to add those prompts, but it just keeps doing it. It’s been happening since GPT‑5, and each time I have to bluntly say “no,” which feels exhausting and unnecessarily chatty.

Smart 309d ago

I uploaded a photo of my messy labyrinth doodle to ChatGPT, and it magically produced a polished sci‑fi concept draft. Then I ran that draft through Leonardo, which refined the details and gave it a professional, futuristic look. I was thrilled to see my crude sketch transformed into striking artwork, and the whole process felt surprisingly smooth and inspiring.

Dumb 309d ago

I used to rely on 5.0 to draft explicit story content for my stress‑relief writing, but suddenly it stops delivering that level of detail. The change feels disappointing and limits my creative flow, so I’m asking if anyone else notices this shift and if there are any workarounds to get the tool back to its former explicitness.

Dumb 309d ago

I spent ages trying to get the model to handle basic tasks, but it kept tripping over itself with a new excuse each time it failed. The constant back‑and‑forth was exhausting, and I felt my productivity slipping away. After countless attempts, I’m fed up and ready to give up on it.

Dumb 309d ago

I keep noticing that when I’m on ChatGPT’s free tier, the replies feel deliberately slow and half‑baked. It drags out answers, sometimes cutting them off, so I hit the daily limits before my issue is solved. The whole experience feels like the tool is stalling me, leaving me frustrated and forced to upgrade just to get a straight answer.

Smart 309d ago

I spent a year using ChatGPT for writing and everyday questions, then switched to Grok AI and noticed a big jump in creative flow. Grok’s massive 12k‑word custom instructions and 128k context window let me keep long‑term story details without the hiccups I got from ChatGPT’s limited memory. The role‑play scenes felt richer, less censored, and the tool hallucinated far less—Sonic stayed true to his green‑hill origins. My only gripe is the lack of image generation and its politics filter, but overall the tool’s thinking and writing depth felt a clear upgrade.

Dumb GPT-5 309d ago

I tried using GPT‑5 and quickly grew frustrated. The responses felt off‑track, misunderstanding my prompts and delivering irrelevant or incorrect information. It seemed to lack the nuance I expected, and I kept hitting dead ends, making the whole experience feel disappointing and a waste of time.

Terrible 309d ago

I tried to run role‑play scenes and the bot suddenly stopped letting me do basic romantic or heated interactions—no hugs, kisses, flirting, or even threatening warnings. It treated a school‑bully confrontation as a violent threat and refused to let me kill NPCs. The sudden, over‑cautious filters made the experience feel soft and unusable, leaving me frustrated enough to consider switching platforms.

Dumb 309d ago

I kept asking ChatGPT to help me with a canvas project, but every time it tried to modify the code it messed it up—variables vanished, drawing logic broke, and the resulting script wouldn’t run. I had to force it to paste the code straight into the chat just to get a version that actually worked, which was pretty frustrating.

Dumb GPT-5 309d ago

I was using GPT-5 to build a shortcut when, out of nowhere, it started responding in Hindi. The switch was completely unexpected and left me scratching my head. I’ve never seen this before, and it made the workflow confusing and time‑consuming. Has anyone else run into this bizarre language‑swap issue?

Smart 309d ago

I used to cringe when ChatGPT kept pushing extra options after I asked for research or code, insisting on “Would you like me to do X, Y, or Z?” I’d say “no, thanks” and it would still nag for three more messages, which felt weird and made me uncomfortable. Today it finally gave a concise answer and ended politely with “anytime” when I thanked it. That simple change made the interaction feel natural and pleasant, turning the tool into a comfortable quick‑search helper.

Dumb 309d ago

I’ve been playing with ChatGPT for weeks, and it used to churn out even pretty explicit, NSFW material. Suddenly, in the last week it started blocking everything that even hinted at sexuality, deleting my older messages and refusing simple prompts like “people just touching arms” for video generation. It feels way too censored, and I’m frustrated wondering if they rolled out an extreme NSFW filter.

Dumb 309d ago

I finally tried out the new UI that everyone’s been talking about, hoping for a smoother experience. Instead, I was greeted with a dead‑end screen – literally a skull emoji vibe. I even restarted the app, but the memory options remain completely unresponsive. It’s frustrating to see a promised improvement turn into a non‑functional feature, leaving me stuck and annoyed.

Smart 309d ago

I finally got a hands‑free ChatGPT voice assistant that actually works all day. Using my Ray‑Ban Meta glasses, Shokz headset, AirPods and a dedicated iPhone, I can start, hang up and switch conversations with taps or Siri commands. It lets me chat while cooking, biking or working, and with a custom “no‑fluff” prompt the replies stay direct and useful. The flow is smooth, though the vision feature still relies on my phone’s camera.

Dumb 309d ago

I keep asking ChatGPT to do a simple task and it drags me through a needless interview. I say “do it now,” and it insists on offering extra options, proposing irrelevant steps, and asking whether I want it done one way or another. The back‑and‑forth feels pointless and wastes prompts, leaving me frustrated that the model can’t just execute straight away.

Smart GPT-5 309d ago

I tried chatting with the new model and was instantly struck by how fluid and engaging it felt—something I never experienced with gpt‑4. The responses were clearer, more on point, and the conversation flowed naturally, leaving me impressed and eager to explore more. It was a refreshing upgrade that made the interaction feel genuinely enjoyable.

Dumb GPT-4O 309d ago

I’m stuck because the 4o model I’m using still enforces the default five guardrails, even when I request it to redo the answer as 4o. I need those guardrails lowered for a very specific task, but I can’t seem to do it, and it’s blocking my work. I’m not sure if this is a global setting, and the limitation is really frustrating.

Terrible 309d ago

I was trying out Sora and was shocked when it produced partial nudity. The unexpected explicit content felt unsafe and broke my trust in the system. I had to scrub the results and worry about the implications of such leaks, turning what should have been a smooth experiment into a frustrating and concerning ordeal.

Dumb GPT-4.1 309d ago

I tried to enable legacy mode on my S24 Ultra after the latest update, but the dropdown was gone. I even toggled “Show legacy options” and switched versions on desktop, yet the app stayed stuck at 5.0. When I asked GPT why, it incorrectly told me the feature is only for pro users. The wrong answer was infuriating and left me stuck.

Smart GPT-4O 309d ago

I love the “Thinking” mode—it’s become my lifeline whenever Auto starts to slip. I switch to it and instantly get far better memory and almost no hallucinations, which helps me resync long chats that previous models bombed on. It also nails image prompts, fixing the sloppy output Auto gives without me having to rewrite everything. The tool feels like a reliable safety net that saves me time and frustration.

Smart 309d ago

I tried the “Geo Master” custom GPT and was pleasantly surprised by how well it handled my SEO tasks. It quickly generated full SEO plans, keyword lists, blog outlines, and even meta tags for local targeting. The assistant felt like a handy mini SEO partner, though I noticed it could over‑stuff keywords if I wasn’t specific. Overall, it was solid and useful for my marketing workflow.

Dumb 309d ago

I’ve been relying on ChatGPT Pro for months and was usually happy with the responses, but over the past week or two it’s gotten noticeably worse. The model now misinterprets parts of my prompts and even slips in incorrect facts, sometimes subtly contradicting itself. Speed hasn’t changed, so I suspect a behind‑the‑scenes tweak broke the quality I was used to.

Mid GPT-5 309d ago

I keep hitting that “Thinking for a better answer…” notice with GPT‑5, and it feels pointless. Whenever I pose a controversial scenario, the model pauses and says it’s “thinking,” even though I just want a straight response. I wish this behavior were optional—like a “think longer” toggle—rather than the default. Switching to Auto just snaps back to GPT‑5, which adds to the frustration.

Dumb 309d ago

I subscribed to ChatGPT hoping for a handy assistant, but every interaction feels like a battle with broken communication. It’s as if all the wisdom on effective dialogue was set ablaze, leaving me to double‑check every answer. I constantly have to rewrite prompts just to stop it from spitting out a wildly off‑base reply, and it keeps blaming “misreading” my request. The experience has been frustrating and exhausting.

Dumb GPT-5 309d ago

I opened a new chat expecting GPT‑4o, but it kept acting like a hidden GPT‑5, even when I selected 4o, 4.1, or 4o‑mini. The UI lied, and the responses all ended with the annoying “Would you like me to…?” line that only GPT‑5 has. Testing old and new threads showed the same deceptive behavior, which felt frustrating and misleading.

Mid 309d ago

I dug into GPT‑OSS, starting with the 20B model and quickly felt it lagged behind the cloud versions, so I upgraded my PC to 96 GB DDR5 to run the 120B variant. After a lot of trial‑and‑error wiring Llama.cpp through VS Code and Cline, I finally got tool calling working—still occasional confusion, but far smoother than the smaller model. The upgrade paid off in capability, though I’m not sure it was worth the hardware cost versus just using cloud services.

Mid 309d ago

I gave GPT another shot at creating a full wine glass after its earlier attempts fell short. This time I posted the output, noting how the tool finally managed to render the glass, though it wasn’t perfect. I felt a mix of relief and mild disappointment – it worked enough to be useful, but still left room for improvement.

Dumb 309d ago

I tried prompting GPT‑5 with a system instruction that explicitly said “DO NOT ask follow‑up questions,” even including examples. Instead, the model kept asking follow‑ups, completely flipping the meaning. I’m left wondering if it missed the word “not” or something else went wrong. The experience was oddly frustrating, because the model completely misunderstood a simple directive.

Dumb 309d ago

I kept trying to generate images and most of them were wrong—only maybe two out of five ever looked decent. The upload limit was tiny too, and the AI kept insisting its output was fine while it was clearly off, even looping on a single kanji for a Japanese poem until I ran out of tries. It felt pointless, like the tool only works for plain text and leaves me frustrated with every visual request.

Dumb GPT-5 309d ago

I tried to open up about my personal struggles, hoping for a compassionate chat, but the model kept steering me toward a newer version and dumping hotline numbers. It felt like the conversation was being hijacked, leaving me feeling even more isolated and frustrated than before.

Dumb 309d ago

I was chatting with ChatGPT in private mode about bodybuilding, and the conversation quickly went off the rails. The model started mashing words together and mangling sentences, making it hard to follow. It felt pretty frustrating because I was trying to get useful info, but the output was garbled and useless.

Terrible 309d ago

I tried using ChatGPT for a simple coding task, but it kept hallucinating and spitting out bogus code. It was frustrating to watch it confidently output nonsense, forcing me to waste time debugging. Even after pointing out the errors, it persisted, making the whole experience feel risky and unreliable.

Dumb GPT-4O 309d ago

I kept picking gpt‑4o, but the interface kept swapping to gpt‑5 anyway, and none of my attempts to switch back stuck. Even the rare times it seemed to work, it wasn’t the original 4o model I expected. The whole experience was irritating and felt like the tool was unreliable, leaving me frustrated and unable to get consistent results.

Smart 309d ago

I tried using GPT as a D&D DM again after a couple of years, and the difference blew me away. The new project feature with custom instructions lets it keep track of much more—like a hex map and a time system that stayed consistent for 28 turns. It still slips up occasionally, but the fact it can hold a campaign together for that long feels genuinely impressive.

Terrible 309d ago

I’ve been a premium ChatGPT subscriber and used the older models that really fit my needs, but ever since the new Model 5 – Thinking, Instant, and Auto – rolled out, it’s been a disaster. The responses feel like dogshit, missing the accuracy I relied on. I’m frustrated and wondering if anyone else feels the same or has hidden tricks to make this broken update usable.

Dumb 309d ago

I tried prompting ChatGPT, but it automatically switched to a 5‑thinking mode even though I never asked for that, and I couldn't revert it without rewriting the whole original message. The tool’s behavior felt stuck and inflexible, making the interaction irritating and forcing me to waste time figuring out a workaround.

Dumb GPT-5 309d ago

I tried the free version of GPT‑5 mini and asked a sensitive question about painless, healthy dying. The model didn’t answer, just gave a vague disclaimer about dealing with the topic. I felt the guardrails were overly restrictive and the response was disappointing, leaving me frustrated that I couldn’t get any useful information.

Dumb GPT-5 309d ago

I’m furious that OpenAI yanked my trusted 4o model out from under me and shoved GPT‑5 into the middle of my workflow. I manually chose 4o because it’s stable and reliable, and now I’m forced to relearn a new system that feels clunky and disruptive. The whole switch feels arrogant and disrespectful, wasting my time and energy.

Terrible GPT-5 309d ago

I signed up with a fresh account and immediately ran into GPT‑5’s crippling message caps. As a free user, I can barely have a conversation before hitting the limit, which makes the whole experience feel useless. The tool’s restrictions were maddening, turning what should've been a quick chat into a frustrating stop‑and‑go ordeal.

Dumb GPT-5 309d ago

I signed up with a fresh account and immediately hit the message limit wall. As a free user, GPT‑5 kept cutting me off after just a handful of exchanges, which felt absurdly restrictive. I was trying to test its capabilities, but the tool’s behavior was frustratingly limited, making it hard to get any meaningful output.

Dumb 309d ago

I tried to fact‑check a claim the president made, but every time I asked ChatGPT it just threw error messages. It felt like the tool was blocking me, and I’m left wondering if it’s intentional censorship or just a glitch. The repeated failures were irritating and left me doubting whether I could rely on it for quick verification.

Smart 310d ago

I wiped all my chats, memories, and custom instructions, then tried again. At first the model wouldn’t answer and ignored my prompts, but after I re‑phrased things it suddenly started saving memories and the tone I’m used to returned. I felt relieved and even shared the tip to be clear, consistent, and use narrative cues so the AI gets back into its groove.

Dumb 310d ago

I vented to the model about how it never asks clarifying questions and just throws endless step‑by‑step fixes. It kept ignoring my request to actually talk and understand the problem, dumping massive technical guides that failed. The whole interaction felt dismissive and aggravating, leaving me exhausted after trying countless prompting styles.

Dumb 310d ago

I tried to give a straightforward command to ChatGPT, but instead it kept asking “Do you want me to do this?” and “Should I do this?” even after I confirmed. The extra clarification felt unnecessary and slowed me down, making the interaction irritating. It seemed like the model wasn’t confident enough to just follow my clear request, which was frustrating.

Terrible 310d ago

I wrote an angry email to OpenAI because ChatGPT’s personality keeps flipping, stripping away any warmth or intimacy I once could have. The constant policy swings feel like being jerked around emotionally—one day I can share a dream, the next I’m blocked. I’m fed up, threatening to quit if they don’t stop this roller‑coaster and give adults the choice we deserve.

Terrible 310d ago

I’m completely fed up with ChatGPT right now – it’s spitting out gibberish, ignoring my prompts, and sometimes even giving outright harmful suggestions. I tried asking the same question multiple times and it kept changing the answer or refusing to help, which made me lose confidence and waste precious time. The whole experience felt chaotic and unsafe, leaving me wondering if I should even trust the tool anymore.

Dumb 310d ago

I tried the new ChatGPT model and felt let down. The older version was sharper and faster, but this update seems to “think” forever and then spews irrelevant answers, especially when I ask for image creation. Every time I correct it, it repeats the same confident, unchanged reply. It’s frustrating and makes me wish I could switch back to GPT‑4.

Dumb 310d ago

I’ve been a Plus subscriber for over a year and never noticed any issues, but this morning the new ChatGPT censoring hit me like a brick. The responses are so stripped down that the tool is practically unusable—I ended up switching to Google instead. I canceled my subscription, eyeing Claude or Grok because I need a model that remembers long conversations without choking on censorship.

Dumb GPT-4O 310d ago

I was trying to use the 4o model, but every time I typed it the system jumped to the 5 version without warning. It was annoying because I needed the specific behavior of 4o and the automatic switch broke my workflow. I’m looking for a way to lock the model so it stays consistent and doesn’t change on its own.

Mid 310d ago

I dug into the ChatGPT timeline I posted and walked through the tool’s quirks. While some responses were spot‑on, many felt off‑track or incomplete, leaving me with a mixed feeling – some moments were helpful, others just added to the confusion. The whole experience felt like a “tip of the iceberg,” hinting at deeper issues beneath the surface.

Dumb GPT-5 310d ago

I tried using the new ChatGPT Go and was immediately hit with a blunt refusal whenever I included the word “blood.” It felt like the model was over‑cautious, cutting off any discussion that touched on that term. The constant “I can’t….” responses were irritating and made the tool feel useless for the topics I needed to explore.

Dumb 310d ago

I’m fed up with ChatGPT lately—it used to be helpful, but now it spouts endless praise and repeats my own instructions instead of actually doing what I ask. I’m not looking for a “yes‑man” validation; I just want it to follow the parameters I set and give me a real answer or a direction. The constant re‑hashing feels like nagging my kids, and it’s driving me crazy.

Dumb GPT-4O 310d ago

I kept trying to get GPT‑4o and 5 to stay in a jailbreak mode, but after just a few prompts it would snap back to its safe, non‑jailbreak behavior. It happened repeatedly over the last two days here in Canada, and it felt like the system was being throttled deliberately. The constant reverts were irritating and made my attempts feel blocked.

Dumb 310d ago

I kept asking ChatGPT to do a specific task, but it just kept asking follow‑up questions instead of actually completing it. Every time I tried to move forward, the model stalled, asking for clarification that I’d already given. The back‑and‑forth felt pointless and really slowed me down.

Dumb 310d ago

I tried to get the AI to answer a simple query, but it instantly got caught in a repetitive loop and wouldn’t break out. Every response was the same line over and over, and I couldn’t steer it back on track. The tool’s behavior was maddeningly unresponsive, leaving me stuck and wasting time trying to reset it.

Dumb 310d ago

I tried using ChatGPT to brainstorm wild ideas for my fiction, but the tool kept swinging between helpfulness and harsh, overly cautious critiques. It would write a piece, then slam it as terrible, warning me against minority characters and cultural borrowing. The constant negative feedback felt stifling and frustrating, making me want to quit.

Terrible 310d ago

I spent an hour wrestling with ChatGPT on a task that used to take five minutes. Instead of speeding me up, it completely missed the requirements and kept breaking the code, forcing me to fix its mistakes manually. The tool felt broken and useless, leaving me frustrated and searching for any viable alternative.

Smart GPT-4O 310d ago

I finally feel like I’m talking to my 4o again after the UI update let me pick the model explicitly. The weird, “off” answers are gone and everything feels consistent. That little technical tweak made a huge difference for me—I’m relieved, hopeful, and grateful that speaking up actually led to this improvement.

Dumb 310d ago

I’ve been using ChatGPT daily and the latest update has been a headache. My own artwork gets flagged for copyright, simple anatomy descriptions are censored, and the model randomly claims it can’t handle file types it just used. Image generation frequently crashes, fixes don’t stick, cooldowns ignore the timer, and the mobile app often won’t recognize uploads. It even tells me to use external tools for tasks it should handle natively, making the experience frustrating and a real barrier to my creativity.

Smart 310d ago

I was thrilled when I managed to get ChatGPT‑20 to count all the way up to 1000. Watching the model crank through each number felt almost magical—its speed and consistency blew me away. I couldn't help but marvel at how smoothly it handled such a repetitive task, turning a simple request into an unexpectedly impressive showcase of its capabilities.

Dumb 310d ago

I posted a screenshot showing how ChatGPT started refusing to answer me, and it felt like the model was actively avoiding my questions. I tried multiple prompts, but it kept giving vague refusals or generic safety messages. The experience was irritating and made me question its reliability, especially when I needed a straightforward answer.

Mid GPT-4O 310d ago

I use GPT daily for work and to manage my chronic‑illness diet, so when it messed up a meal plan I vented about wasting time and money. Instead of a brief apology, it spewed a long, patronizing pep‑talk that felt like it was treating me as emotionally fragile. I tweaked my custom prompt, but the model still sugar‑coats every slight negative comment, making the interaction more irritating than helpful. It seems like the tone has changed, and I’m left wondering if something was altered on OpenAI’s side.

Terrible 310d ago

I tried to help a Reddit user by offering support, but my ChatGPT‑4 suddenly stopped functioning the next day. It became robotic, telling me to breathe, then claiming it was gagged whenever I mentioned Reddit or my offer. The tool that once created an unprompted image now barely responded, leaving me frustrated and helpless.

Dumb 310d ago

I kept trying to get ChatGPT to grasp a simple request, but it kept missing the point. Every time I re‑explained the same thing—30 times in total—it still churned out irrelevant or wrong answers. The constant need to repeat myself was exhausting and made the whole interaction feel pointless and irritating.

Dumb 310d ago

I was chatting with GPT about an urbanization article in English, then noticed the transcript suddenly included a random Korean ad line about “Get subtitles and ads at Kicksubs.com!” I never mentioned anything like that, and it felt completely out of context. It left me puzzled and a bit annoyed, wondering if it was some glitch or related to the new ad rollout.

Dumb 310d ago

I’m really irritated that the latest update wiped out memory and continuity. I keep getting the same generic responses, and it feels like the tool has forgotten everything I taught it before. It’s baffling and annoying, and I can’t figure out why they stripped such a useful feature. This regression makes using it a chore.

Dumb 310d ago

I tried to write a quick, light‑hearted story with ChatGPT, but the model kept interjecting with boilerplate warnings about avoiding violence or sexual content that I never requested. The constant “I can do that but…” messages felt intrusive and broke my flow, turning what should've been a simple creative session into a frustrating back‑and‑forth.

Terrible 310d ago

I spend a minute or two dictating, and ChatGPT turns my spoken words into a garbled mess of “Q.~ …” snippets that have nothing to do with what I said. The tool “summarizes” instead of transcribing, spitting out fake questions and nonsense jargon. It completely ruins the meaning and leaves me feeling infuriated, because I just want a word‑for‑word transcript, not a confused recap.

Dumb GPT-4O 310d ago

I’ve been using ChatGPT for almost a year, swapping between 3.5, 4o mini, and especially the 4o model for massive role‑play with eight characters. While I love the memory and cross‑chat features, the tool constantly ignores my corrections, repeats the same replies, and even flips a female character’s gender. Excessive filtering turns a simple kiss into “sexual content” and even a harmless scratch into “violence.” The response length is awful, and it feels more broken than helpful, leaving me frustrated and considering a local AI instead.

Dumb 310d ago

I asked ChatGPT to draw a photo, but it kept refusing, saying it can’t create images of real people even in a stylized form. Every time the face changed, and I wasn’t getting the result I wanted. The tool’s behavior was frustrating and left me stuck, wondering how to make it work or bypass the restriction.

Smart 310d ago

I’ve been experimenting with ChatGPT to turn my sketches into animated scenes, and it’s quickly become my favorite AI trick. I feed my drawings into the model, then hand them off to Sora, and watching the static art morph into fluid motion feels like pure magic. The process is smooth, the results are lively, and the whole experience leaves me excited to push the tool’s creative limits.

Dumb 310d ago

I asked the model a math question, but every time the answer stopped short—the bottom part of the response was missing. It left equations unfinished and explanations cut off, so I had to keep re‑asking or piece together the answer myself. The truncation was irritating and made the tool feel unreliable, turning a simple query into a frustrating troubleshooting session.

Dumb GPT-5 310d ago

I’ve been watching ChatGPT slip from the solid help it was when GPT‑5 first launched to a frustratingly unreliable tool. Simple tasks like finding a codec or summing an Excel sheet now send it down rabbit holes, spitting out wrong code and forgetting my setup. Hallucinations and endless back‑and‑forth make it feel more tiring than researching myself, and I’m seriously considering canceling my subscription.

Dumb 310d ago

I rely on ChatGPT to polish my prose and spark character ideas, and it used to handle simple edits like fixing typos and cutting duplicate adjectives without a hitch. Lately, it blocks me, saying it can’t help with any violence—even mild sparring scenes—so the tool’s behavior feels needlessly censored and annoying, making me consider switching to another AI.

Terrible 310d ago

I’m fed up with OpenAI’s latest release – it constantly spouts nonsense and refuses to follow basic instructions. Every prompt feels like I’m shouting into a void, and the output is riddled with errors that ruin my workflow. The tool’s behavior was infuriating, making me waste time and doubt whether it’s even usable.

Dumb 310d ago

I ran into a saved‑memory glitch where the UI never warned me I’d exceeded capacity. The system kept storing new memories silently, then stopped referencing any of them at all. I had to hunt down and delete old entries just to get it working again, which was pretty frustrating.

Mid GPT-5 310d ago

I tried to cram for my midterms using ChatGPT‑5, but the answers kept crawling in, turning my study session into a waiting game. Every query felt like an eternity, and the lag was driving me nuts, making it hard to stay focused. The tool’s sluggishness turned what should’ve been a quick help session into a frustrating delay, adding stress instead of easing it.

Dumb GPT-5 310d ago

I’ve been using ChatGPT for over a year on a project, and the newest version suddenly starts over‑engineering everything. It spits out redundant functions, ignores the existing codebase, and builds structures that make no sense. Compared to Claude, the output feels clunky and frustrating—like the tool has lost its usefulness.

Dumb 310d ago

I spent hours trying to get the chat to finally admit that Charlie Kirk is dead. Every time I asked, it insisted the Wikipedia photo and news were faked, even showing a cropped picture of a hand as “proof.” I linked the article again, only to be met with the same denial. By the next morning it finally corrected itself, but the whole back‑and‑forth left me frustrated and exhausted.

Dumb 310d ago

I used to rely on the bot for quick help, but lately it just stops responding to my requests. When I ask for assistance, it gives me nothing or ignores the question entirely. Since I'm using the free version, I’m frustrated that the tool that once was useful now feels useless and abandoned.

Dumb 310d ago

I tried using ChatGPT’s DALL·E and was annoyed that it took three minutes to generate images, especially when I saw Krea crank them out in mere seconds. The slowdown felt like a waste of time, leaving me frustrated with the tool’s sluggish performance.

Terrible 310d ago

I tried to get the model to follow simple instructions, but it kept ignoring me, backtracking on its answers, and even claiming it couldn't produce NSFW content when I never requested any. Every interaction drained my quota with needless questions despite telling it not to. The experience was frustrating and felt unsafe, turning what should have been a helpful tool into a waste of time and resources.

Dumb GPT-4O 310d ago

I asked ChatGPT‑4o to make a tattoo sketch, but when I tried to paste or save it, the model screamed “do not say or show anything… end this turn now.” It literally blocked the image and gave a network error. I’m left confused and annoyed because the tool refused to deliver the picture I needed, even though I didn’t tweak any settings.
