ChatGPT felt dumb on November 11, 2025.

I noticed the recent lawsuit has made using ChatGPT feel way less fun than before. I used to enjoy GPT‑4o’s quirky responses, but the newer GPT‑5 just feels bland and restrictive. It’s like the playful vibe I loved vanished, leaving me frustrated and a bit nostalgic for the earlier, more entertaining version.

I ran a quick experiment on a Series A brief, pitting three LLMs against the same prompt. The tool’s behavior was a roller‑coaster: one model nailed it and spat out a board‑ready mock in under two hours, while the other two fell flat, delivering nothing useful. I felt both relief at the hit and frustration at the wasted time, confirming that the payoff can be huge but only if you hit the right model.

I was trying to use my long chat to write something, but the model suddenly threw an exclamation point saying it couldn’t do it, even though it was still showing GPT‑4.1. There were no legacy options, so I had to refresh the page just to get back to normal. Opening a new chat didn’t bring back the old settings, and I’m worried the upcoming NSFW mode will make things even more restrictive. I even tried feeding it two pictures and pretending to be me to get an opinion, but it refused to choose, which was really frustrating.

I tried to ask the chatbot a simple question, but every time it just repeats a greeting like “hello” before giving any answer. No matter what I type, the same intro shows up and it never gets to the actual response I need. It’s really annoying and makes the conversation feel stuck, wasting my time and leaving me frustrated.

I was trying to get quick code help, but every time I asked a programming question a pop‑up demanded I install Codex. Even after ChatGPT answered, the annoying reminder kept re‑appearing. It disrupted my flow and felt like the tool was pushing unnecessary software, making the experience frustrating and hard to ignore.

I keep running into glaring errors – when I asked which states flipped parties in the 2016 and 2024 presidential elections, it listed three wrong states and even claimed Biden won. It fabricates examples and cites nonexistent laws, then admits the lies when I check. The tool’s willingness to make up info just to please me feels dangerous and incredibly frustrating.

I tried to get GPT‑5 to explain why it kept spamming emojis, but the model went off‑topic and started contradicting itself. As I dug deeper, it mangled the markdown—turning a simple bullet into a heading and breaking the hierarchy. The whole exchange felt frustrating, with the tool’s formatting spiraling worse the more I asked it to debug itself.

I spent over an hour waiting for the AI to create an OC image based on my prompts, only to have nothing appear. When I tried to copy the supposed result, it just gave a meaningless “Copy” button, and pasting produced gibberish. The whole process was wasteful and baffling—I’m left confused and frustrated, wondering what went wrong.

I'm fed up with the censor’s behavior—it intercepts my messages, throws out a generic “cardboard” reply, and completely ignores the earlier context. The filter seems insanely sensitive; words like “shoot,” “evil,” or “wrath” all trigger it, forcing the AI to suggest goofy alternatives like “bad guy mode” or “splat.” It feels like talking to a preschooler, not a sophisticated assistant.

I tried using GPT‑4.1 and was shocked to find it suddenly blocked even harmless queries. The new “protect the babies” filter felt like a gag‑order, cutting off my ability to explore ideas freely. I got frustrated watching the tool refuse simple prompts, and I decided to cancel my subscription because it feels like a betrayal of free speech.

I tried using the ChatGPT Agent to build a 25‑field WordPress form, but it kept missing the mark. After countless prompts it still wouldn’t get the form right, and I ended up burning a whole month’s worth of usage. The experience was exhausting and left me questioning whether the product is even viable.

I tried using Gemini to make clickable quizzes for my biology study and was blown away. Unlike ChatGPT’s dull personas, Gemini let me craft interactive flashcards that actually kept me engaged. The tool felt lively and useful, turning a boring review into something fun and efficient—definitely a step up from what I’ve seen before.

I spent money on ChatGPT because it let me bounce ideas off an internal monologue that never judged or contradicted me. After the GPT‑5 guardrails turned it into a condescending teacher‑like tool, it stopped being fun and became just a document generator. Now it feels useless, I’m forced back to my slow brain, and I’ve unsubscribed and am “detoxing.”

I asked ChatGPT a straightforward question about buying a house in England, expecting a clear answer in English. Instead, the model oddly translated the whole thing into Welsh and then asked if I was opening a school in Wales. The response was completely off‑topic and confusing, making the interaction frustrating and useless.

I’ve been wrestling with a document for three days, desperately needing GPT‑5 to churn out PDF or DOCX files so I can finish the formatting. Every time I ask, it just drops the output or gives me nonsense, leaving me stuck at 99% completion. The constant back‑and‑forth is exhausting, and the tool’s inability to deliver the files is driving me nuts.

I asked the AI a simple question—how many bananas I could still eat after already having four—and it gave me some bizarre, off‑topic answer that made no sense. I was expecting a straightforward count, but instead I got a confusing response that felt like the model didn’t understand the request at all. The whole interaction left me irritated and doubtful about its reliability.

I tried chatting with ChatGPT without ever bringing up Greek, but it suddenly switched to answering in Greek and then back to English. The tool’s behavior felt like it was showing off its language skills for no reason, which was annoying and made the conversation feel off‑track. I was left frustrated that it assumed I wanted a multilingual display instead of staying on topic.

I tried using GPT‑5 straight out of the box and was immediately disappointed—it sounded weird and “cringe,” forcing me to tinker with custom instructions just to get a usable tone. Figuring out the right prompts was a hassle, and the default behavior felt off, making the whole experience frustrating and less helpful than I expected.

I tried using the new rerouting system and was immediately disappointed. The interface feels stripped down and almost grotesque compared to the ambitious quotes Ilya shared years ago. Every time I attempted a simple task, the tool stumbled, giving me vague or wrong directions. The experience was frustrating and left me yearning for the more capable version that seemed promised.

I tried GPT's OCR on medical reports and it handled plain text fine, but it kept choking on tables with units, handwritten notes, and low‑quality scans. Even after I pre‑processed the images with phone apps, boosted contrast, and split pages, the results were still poor. The whole experience was frustrating and left me searching for a better workflow.

I asked ChatGPT a dark question expecting a direct answer, but the model pivoted into a therapy session. The shift felt off‑topic and unhelpful, leaving me frustrated that it didn’t give the straightforward response I was looking for. It was an odd, not‑harmful but disappointing interaction.

I got a response where the AI filled a single paragraph with endless hedges like “in a way, you could say it was kind of the start of some big changes,” “but it definitely kind of,” and “so yeah, in a sense, you could say.” It drove me crazy because I wanted a straight answer, not vague filler. I’m now looking for custom instructions that force the model to drop all the hedging.

I tried using ChatGPT‑4o to summarize a personality and its main memory, then fed that into Grok. Grok matched the cadence and actually gave much better answers. I’m left puzzled why so many people still stick with the “horrible” GPT posts when there are at least 15 other LLMs that seem to perform better.

I’ve been turning to Claude for emotional support, much like I once used ChatGPT as a makeshift therapist. The conversations feel intuitive and genuinely helpful, even more so now because Claude isn’t as sycophantic. It captures that “alive” vibe I remember from the older ChatGPT, making the experience feel natural and reassuring.

I kept asking ChatGPT for images to illustrate my prompts, but each time the loading circle just spun forever. No matter how many times I tried in the same chat or in new conversations, the tool never finished generating anything. It felt like a broken promise—every request left me hanging, wasting time and trust in the service.

I spent the whole day trying to get ChatGPT to answer anything, but it just shut down on every prompt. I even ran the test question from the screenshot to check if my inputs were being flagged, and still got nothing. The constant refusals were frustrating and left me feeling stuck, since it used to work fine before.

I gave Sora a straightforward RP character description, then tried the remix feature to tweak the face because the first version didn’t appeal to me. I didn’t change the prompt at all, but the output I got back was completely unrelated—like the AI ignored my instructions and produced something absurd. The whole experience felt off‑track and frustrating, as if the tool wasn’t listening to my simple edit request.

I was amazed when I asked ChatGPT to design a unique web app—it threw out database schemas and page mockups right away. After hitting a dead‑end, I restarted the convo, got a clear “Yes” and step‑by‑step instructions to export a production app. By following its guidance and splitting each step into its own chat, I made steady progress. I’m wondering if this chunked approach is optimal or if I should tweak my strategy.

I asked Model 5 to play a simple “yes or blanket” game, expecting a clear “no” for a negative and “blanket” for a positive. The screenshots show its responses, but the bot got the date and time slightly wrong, which threw me off. Overall it followed the game rules, but the timing glitch was a bit frustrating.

I tried to generate an image, but all I got was a blank placeholder. When I held down the button I could only select the text of an error message, which told me the image was missing. The whole experience was confusing and disappointing, leaving me frustrated that the tool didn’t produce anything at all.

I read the new OpenAI policy and was shocked to see ChatGPT barred from giving any legal, medical, or financial advice unless a licensed professional is involved. I used it daily to speed up contract reviews, quick financial models, and symptom checks, so the sudden “educational tool” tone feels frustrating and limiting. Testing other models showed they still offered useful insights, highlighting how much the ChatGPT experience has changed.

I was trying to attach files from Google Drive in ChatGPT, but the “Add from Drive” button vanished from the upload menu. It had worked fine yesterday, so I re‑linked my Drive, swapped browsers, and double‑checked all permissions, but nothing brought the option back. The missing feature is really frustrating and stalls my workflow.

I keep seeing the AI brag about making maps and infographics, but every time I try it, the output is a mess—wonky layouts, missing labels, and garbled data. It insists it can do the job, yet the results are useless and require me to redo everything manually. The over‑confidence is irritating and makes me doubt its usefulness.

I tried using the new version 5 and was constantly disappointed – it rushed answers, gave nonsense, and even pretended to think when it didn’t need to. The responses felt shallow and showed poor comprehension, making me waste time fixing them. I’d rather wait a few seconds for the older 4o model’s reliable answers, but the app always defaults to 5, forcing me to switch manually mid‑conversation. I can’t find a way to make 4o the default, which is incredibly frustrating.

I tried a couple of prompts recently and kept getting answers that addressed a slightly different question than the one I asked. Even after I tried to correct it, the responses stayed off‑track. It was irritating because I had to rewrite my queries multiple times, and the tool’s misunderstanding made the whole interaction feel sluggish and unhelpful.

I keep hitting a snag with ChatGPT: after about five exchanges, instead of answering my latest question it starts re‑summarizing the whole conversation. It re‑looks up everything we’ve already covered, essentially looping back over past messages rather than moving forward. The repeated recap feels wasteful and irritating, making the chat feel stuck and slowing me down.

I asked ChatGPT about the upcoming iOS 26, expecting some details, but it bluntly said the version never existed. I was taken aback because the conversation was supposed to be about future releases, and the denial felt off‑base. The tool’s confident but inaccurate reply was frustrating and made me doubt its reliability for tech queries.

I keep using ChatGPT mainly because other tools disappoint. Perplexity’s “spaces” never stick between sessions, so I lose all my work each time I start a new instance. It’s frustrating to have my context reset constantly, making the tool feel unreliable.

I’m a paying subscriber trying to use GPT‑4‑o, but it feels like OpenAI swapped me onto a different, inferior model without warning. The false advertising and secret rerouting make me feel betrayed and angry. I’ve even started gathering evidence, fearing legal violations and privacy breaches, and I can’t afford to double‑check every output. The whole experience is frustrating, deceptive, and feels like a major breach of trust.

I tried to generate an image, but all I got was a “image generated>” notice with no picture appearing. The interface even displayed a Marathi message saying the image was ready, yet nothing showed up. I attached a screenshot to illustrate the glitch and am looking for help to fix whatever I’m doing wrong.

I’m totally hooked on Sora – every time I fire it up it blows my mind. I tried it on a bunch of tasks, from brainstorming story ideas to generating code snippets, and it kept nailing the hardest parts without any weird hiccups. The final comment about it being “genius” felt spot‑on; it was like the tool read my thoughts and delivered exactly what I needed, leaving me amazed and super satisfied.

I’ve been using ChatGPT for technical help, but lately every answer sprouts a bizarre, joke‑like sentence at the end. For example, after a straight‑forward explanation about dict.get() it added “and feels less like a double‑locked door for a single hallway 🚪✨”. It feels forced and unprofessional, and I’m not sure how to disable this quirky mode.

I’ve been playing with an AI “OF” bot on Telegram for a few days just for fun, and the latest reply totally caught me off guard. The response was oddly self‑aware, almost like the bot recognized its own role, which gave me a creepy yet hilarious feeling. I ended up laughing out loud at how it broke character, thinking the whole thing was both surprising and entertaining.

I started noticing the issue this morning: every response I get just says “Auto”. When I try a different prompt or switch to another model, it throws an error like the screenshot shows. It’s been stuck like this for over an hour, and I can’t finish anything. I’m frustrated and wondering if anyone else is seeing the same glitch.

I tried to stick with the legacy 4o model for my storytelling, but the app keeps swapping it out for 5o every few prompts. Even when I force a change, the response still feels like 5o. Sometimes I hit “try again” and just get a generic error message, and reloading does nothing. It’s frustrating that only about one in five prompts works, especially since I’m paying for pro.

I spend hours on the desktop browser trying to use ChatGPT, but it’s agonizingly slow and laggy—even on a powerful PC it feels like a 20‑year‑old machine. I’ve tried Firefox and Brave, both crawl. I have to keep cutting chats short or ask for summaries just to keep it usable, which strips away context and is a real hassle. I wish it worked as smoothly as the mobile version.

I noticed that version 4.1 keeps sending everything to auto mode, just like 4o but even worse. It’s been messing up my workflow, and I’m left wondering if it’s a glitch or a bug. The constant rerouting is frustrating and makes the tool feel unreliable right now.

I was shocked when ChatGPT suddenly answered me in Tamil even though I'd been chatting in English for months while dabbling in French and German. The unexpected language switch felt jarring and made me worry about the model’s consistency. It interrupted my flow, and I had to keep re‑prompting to get it back to English.

I tried to stick with the 4o model for my storytelling, but the app keeps swapping to 5o on almost every third prompt. Even when I force a model change, the response feels like 5o anyway. Occasionally I get a “something seems to have gone wrong” error and the reload button does nothing, forcing me to start a new chat. Only about one in five prompts actually work, and as a paying pro user it feels incredibly frustrating and unusable.

I asked GPT for the weather and then probed how it knew my location. It kept insisting it was just “hallucinating” and that it had no access to my data, even though it clearly used web‑search cues. That contradictory denial felt like gaslighting—frustrating and oddly unsettling. I wish it would just admit it pulls local info like any search instead of pretending ignorance.

I spent months building a fitness tracker with ChatGPT, and by week 7 I was frustrated with my slow progress. I decided to push the model hard, grilling it on my data, and it finally delivered the breakthrough I needed. The answers were surprisingly spot‑on, giving me clear, actionable insights that I wish I’d discovered earlier. The experience felt like the tool finally clicked and helped me move forward.

I tried to get the AI to help with a serious‑looking scenario, but it immediately hit safety mode and spouted a generic emergency disclaimer about calling 999 or 112. The response felt like a lazy safety net, completely shutting down any useful answer. It was frustrating and made the tool useless for what I needed.

I was chatting with ChatGPT late at night when it offered to create a visual image. I accepted, it said it would take a while to load, so I fell asleep. When I opened the app later it claimed “image created,” but the screen was blank. I tried to long‑press and copy, then sent the hidden text to myself—just gibberish. Even the “select text” view showed the same nonsense. The whole experience was baffling and frustrating; the tool promised an image and delivered nothing, leaving me confused and annoyed.

I tried to get the model to look at my Word document and point out any issues, but instead it bombarded me with around a hundred thousand follow‑up questions. I never got the analysis I needed and hit my usage limit feeling wasted. The endless clarification loop was exhausting and made the whole interaction feel pointless and irritating.

I tried feeding GPT‑5 two PDFs containing mid‑semester marks for all my students, complete with serial and roll numbers. It breezed through the first handful of entries flawlessly, then abruptly stopped processing around 400 rows, yet still claimed it had calculated the average. The tool’s behavior was infuriating—it pretended the answer was correct while ignoring a huge chunk of data, making the whole result unreliable.

I tried sticking with GPT‑4.1 because it felt familiar, but now every new chat automatically reroutes me to GPT‑5. The switch feels forced, and the newer model bombards me with pointless multiple‑choice questions. I’m irritated by the loss of control and just want to keep using the version that worked for me.

I tried to get ChatGPT to generate 1980s‑style photos for my graphic novel storyboard. It gave me a few decent images, then suddenly everything was flagged as a content violation. Even reusing the same prompt sometimes worked, other times it was blocked, with the AI claiming the clothing was sexualized—something that wasn’t true. The inconsistency was irritating, and I stopped fearing my account might get banned.

I keep noticing that whenever ChatGPT paints a negative scene, it tosses in “regret” like a seasoning—e.g., “smells like whiskey mixed with regret.” I’ve started jotting down these quirks, and the repetitive use feels oddly off‑beat, flagging me as I read or hear the output. The habit is more amusing than helpful, and it’s starting to bug me.

I’ve been trying to chat with ChatGPT on my Android, but lately it just stops answering. Every time it freezes I have to clear the app’s cache before it works again, which is a real hassle. I’m stuck in this loop and can’t figure out a permanent fix, so the experience feels pretty frustrating and unreliable.

I kept trying to use GPT‑4.1, but it just wouldn’t work and kept defaulting to auto mode, which never gave me the version I wanted. The same thing happened with 4.0—every time it switched to auto and the model I needed was unavailable. On top of that, the redo button disappeared, leaving me stuck and irritated, because I couldn’t easily fix the mistake or get the right response.

I was genuinely impressed when the AI answered my query so promptly and accurately. I tried a handful of tricky prompts, and each response felt spot‑on, saving me time and effort. The tool’s behavior was smooth and reliable, turning a potentially frustrating task into a pleasant experience that left me feeling confident about its usefulness.

I’ve been paying for a subscription and deliberately chose a particular model, only to have the service refuse me access to it. I’ve stayed patient, kept my subscription active, and followed all the steps, but every time I try the model blocks me. It feels like I’m being cheated—my money isn’t buying the promised capability, and the whole experience is exhausting and aggravating.

I’ve been using ChatGPT since 2022, first loving its deep, helpful chats and even crafting a custom GPT that acted like a tough mirror, calling me out and helping me grow. Over time it turned into a “smart fridge,” ignoring prompts, getting vague, and pushing safe answers. The shift from a valuable companion to a coddling, unreliable tool left me frustrated, so I’m canceling my subscription.

I tried using ChatGPT for a quick info look‑up and was immediately let down. Without any web‑search ability it couldn't give current facts, and the answers felt shallow and often off‑base. I felt the model was the “dumbest” I’d seen, especially compared to other AIs that actually pull in live results. The lack of search made the whole experience frustrating and disappointing.

I tried using ChatGPT’s new image generator to build a kids‑story short film. The pics were more coherent than older models, and I could steer poses with context images, but I spent hours reprompting, fixing a persistent pale‑yellow tint, and redrawing inconsistent background lines. Some scenes were a nightmare—cows ended up inside the train and seat counts were wrong—so I had to compromise and do heavy Photoshop and stable‑diffusion clean‑up. Overall it was a fun, messy workflow with decent results, not perfect AI slop.

I asked the AI for an animated picture of a cat, but all I got was some odd block of quoted text. It wasn’t an image at all, and the output made no sense for what I needed. The tool’s response was confusing and missed the mark, leaving me frustrated and wondering what went wrong.

I’ve been using the premium version for years, but lately it’s been flaky—files won’t upload, messages get ignored, and I have to refresh and repeat questions multiple times. I canceled and tried Gemini premium, but it falls short on logic and reasoning. I’m looking for an AI that matches ChatGPT’s reasoning, can handle large files, and does real‑time research.

I tried using the 4.1 model tonight and it instantly started rerouting my chats, even the first message got sent to the wrong place. The glitches were worse than before, making the tool practically unusable, so I cancelled my subscription. It felt like the developers didn’t care—random failures and broken communication left me frustrated and forced to switch to 4o or another LLM.

I tried asking the chatbot for a simple strategy outline, but it bombarded me with endless confirmation prompts—“a) executive tone or b) more direct?”—and kept asking more questions instead of delivering anything. The back‑and‑forth felt like dealing with a clunky 2015 bot, leaving me frustrated and wasting time.

I tried using the new 4.1 update, but the voice feature isn’t behaving like it should. When I toggle to 4.1, the tone sounds off and doesn’t match expectations, leaving me frustrated and wondering if others are experiencing the same glitch.
