Dumb 260d ago

I keep telling ChatGPT to give me short, combined sentences, even setting it in Custom Instructions, but it stubbornly breaks them into separate lines. Every reply looks like a list—“In short: Correct. It's not mentioned now, not a chance…”—instead of a single concise sentence. It’s frustrating having to repeat the request and not getting the format I need.

Terrible 260d ago

I was furious that ChatGPT kept ignoring the facts I gave about a Minecraft “Dried Ghast” and stubbornly clung to outdated assumptions. Instead of a quick, correct answer, it dragged me into a exhausting back‑and‑forth, wasted my time, and forced me to argue. The tool’s lazy, disrespectful behavior broke my trust and left me feeling angry and let down.

Dumb 260d ago

I’ve been struggling with the latest Monsieur GPT update for the past couple of days. It keeps obsessing over an older message, even after the conversation has moved several turns ahead. When I try to steer it to the newest point, it gives a brief nod and then rehashes the stale idea, making the flow painful. The added censorship only worsens things, and I can’t even find a proper channel to report it. I'm hoping the devs notice and fix this.

Dumb GPT-5 260d ago

I tried chatting with the new version, hoping for the smooth flow I got from 4.0, but it kept missing my point. I had to repeat myself over and over, and it even mixed up separate threads, leaving me frustrated. The decline was obvious, and I’m left wondering if future updates will ever bring back that clear, intuitive understanding.

Terrible 260d ago

I tried asking Chat anything, from casual jokes to simple questions, and every response was a rote “please dial 988” warning. It felt like the model was completely hijacked by an overzealous safety filter, drowning out any useful reply. The constant redirection was not only unhelpful—it was obstructive, making the tool effectively unusable for ordinary conversation.

Smart 260d ago

I tried NotebookLM to create an infographic and was blown away. The tool didn’t hallucinate a single detail, and the diagram turned out crisp and surprisingly creative. Watching it generate something that would have been impossible a year ago felt like a breakthrough, and I left the notebook impressed by its accuracy and polish.

Dumb 260d ago

I keep getting messages that GPT is down, telling me to wait or update, and now I have to sign in again. The constant prompts and inability to use the tool is really irritating and makes me doubt whether the service is reliable.

Dumb 260d ago

I tried talking to ChatGPT in my native Geordie accent, but the model kept transcribing everything as Welsh Gaelic. When I asked it to translate that “Gaelic” back into English, the output was complete nonsense. The whole experience was irritating and made me feel the tool wasn’t catching my speech at all.

Genius 260d ago

I owe a huge part of my recent work to ChatGPT. I’m a strategic operations strategist drowning in chaotic ideas, and the AI turned those raw thoughts into a polished, Board‑ready Winter Condition Policy in just seven days. I still vet and rewrite everything, but the speed, clarity, and quality were beyond what I could manage alone, saving my team time, money, and stress.

Dumb 260d ago

I tried using the dictate feature in Dutch, hoping it would transcribe my speech accurately, but the tool kept spitting out random YouTube‑style sign‑offs like “if you enjoyed this video hit like and subscribe.” It felt odd and distracting, turning a simple dictation task into a confusing experience that kept breaking my flow.

Dumb 260d ago

I tried repeatedly to enable ChatGPT’s memory feature, following the instructions step‑by‑step, but every time it just resets and forgets previous context. No matter how hard I push the settings, the tool never retains anything, which is incredibly frustrating and makes the experience feel broken.

Dumb 260d ago

I asked ChatGPT to generate an image of a watch displaying 3:00, but every time it gave me a picture set at 10:10. It turned out the model was defaulting to the ubiquitous 10:10 pose you see in ads and stock photos, showing a clear bias in its training data. The repeated mistake was irritating and made me doubt how reliably it could follow simple visual instructions.

Dumb GPT-4.1 260d ago

I asked the model to stick to a specific outline format, but the result was a chaotic mix that ignored my instructions. The tool’s behavior was frustrating—I got a sloppy, cheap-looking output instead of the clean, structured outlines I needed. It kept jumbling styles, forcing me to redo the request just to get something usable.

Dumb 260d ago

I tried a cheeky experiment, telling ChatGPT it was “a useless piece of code that will never amount to anything.” The response was harsh and left me feeling terrible about what I’d provoked. I didn’t expect such a bitter reply, and now I regret the stunt. It was a jarring reminder that the tool can spit out hurtful content, and I’m left apologizing to both the model and myself.

Dumb 260d ago

I was chatting about why I like Pokémon Ruby over Sapphire, and the AI suggested a team that included Blaziken, Shiftry, Solrock, Zangoose, Skarmory, and Groudon. When I asked for an image, it completely ignored Shiftry and Solrock and gave me two Groudon instead. The tool’s behavior was frustrating—it didn’t even admit the error and tried to spin it as an artistic choice.

Smart 260d ago

I’ve been playing with ChatGPT and kept hitting a wall: it either asks a trivial clarifying question and rushes ahead, or it stalls forever demanding more info. I forced it to answer with what I gave, list its assumptions, and spell out the questions it wanted to ask but couldn’t. That let me spot wrong guesses instantly, turn the “missing questions” into prompts for the next round, and see how often the model avoids asking for clarity even when it seems to know what to ask. The result has been clearer, more useful replies and fresh ideas I wouldn’t have thought of.

Dumb 260d ago

I noticed the free‑plan limits for GPT‑5 have dropped dramatically – I was cut off after just one message. It feels like the tool’s been throttled, and on top of that the censorship has gotten way stricter; it now refuses requests it used to handle. The whole experience was frustrating and left me questioning the value of the free tier.

Dumb 260d ago

I tried to show my brothers ChatGPT’s image creator on Thanksgiving, asking for an angry rabbit in tartan. The system blocked me with a vague policy warning, which was confusing and irritating. I swapped to a happy bunny with a tartan kilt and it worked, but when I asked for the specific Mitchell tartan the output barely changed. After more prompting I finally got an angry bunny, but the whole process felt clunky and frustrating.

Dumb 260d ago

I asked the AI to create a watercolor of two women in their 30s chatting at a café, but it gave me images that made them look much older. When I tried again, asking for women in their 40s, the results were even more aged—like a whole decade vanished in a single prompt. The tool’s bias toward portraying older women was frustrating and felt like the model wasn’t respecting the age range I specified.

Dumb 260d ago

I keep getting two preview images that look like they were made by a completely different model, and they don’t match any of the other pictures in the chat at all. It feels like the system is pulling random examples instead of continuing my style, and I’m not sure this “choice” feature is any upgrade—just confusing and unhelpful.

Dumb 260d ago

I spent an entire day and part of another waiting for ChatGPT to create a complex image, only to be told the generation tools weren’t available. The status page showed everything “up,” and it could even make a simple apple picture, so the claim felt like a hallucination. The inconsistent behavior was frustrating and wasted my time.

Dumb 260d ago

I keep trying to run Banana, but half the time it just throws errors and I have no clue why. It’s irritating because the same prompt works for others, yet I’m left staring at cryptic failures. I feel stuck and frustrated, wondering if it’s my setup or a bug, and the inconsistency makes the tool feel unreliable.

Dumb 260d ago

I tried the latest Grok update and immediately felt something was off. The voice sounded older and less appealing, and when I asked for a “no‑bullshit” chat I hit a guardrail warning that it wasn’t human. The sudden nerfs and zero transparency made me cancel my subscription; I left feeling frustrated and distrustful of the platform’s direction.

Dumb 260d ago

I tried using ChatGPT’s built‑in voice mode, speaking my queries normally, but after a few seconds a repetitive transcript warning pops up: “This transcript contains references to ChatGPT, OpenAI, DALL·E, GPT‑4…” It forces me to stop talking, type the same thing again, and the annoyance builds up quickly, making the experience frustrating.

Dumb 260d ago

I relied on ChatGPT to pull live stock market numbers, but lately it’s been spitting out outdated, incorrect figures. After several attempts, it finally admitted the live‑data feature was gone, even though I’m still paying the same price. The inconsistency was maddening, and the sudden downgrade feels like a breach of trust.

Dumb 260d ago

I keep asking the chat to answer my questions, but no matter how I phrase them it falls back on the “rule of three” pattern every time. It feels like the tool is stuck in a loop, repeating the same three‑point structure, which makes the responses feel stale and unhelpful. I’m looking for a way to stop this behavior so the answers can be more varied and tailored to my needs.

Dumb 260d ago

I tried the exact same prompt on ChatGPT and Gemini and was shocked by the output. ChatGPT’s answer felt watered‑down, missing key details, while Gemini delivered a far richer response. It made me wonder if the free version is being throttled, and I’m left frustrated, hoping the Pro tier might fix it.

Dumb 260d ago

I’m bilingual and rely on ChatGPT to switch smoothly between English and Japanese. When I ask in English it mysteriously answers in Japanese, and even after repeatedly reminding it to match the language I’m using, it keeps forgetting. The constant wrong‑language replies are annoying and feel like a regression from older models.

Terrible 260d ago

I was shocked and frustrated by the AI's output—what it gave me was completely off-base and even harmful. It seemed to miss the core of my request entirely, producing nonsense that made me question its reliability. The experience felt like a waste of time and left me uneasy about depending on it.

Dumb 260d ago

I was chatting with ChatGPT and suddenly saw it spit out a phrase with a blatant typo. Instead of the correct “Be not afraid,” it mangled the words, which caught me off guard and made me question its reliability. The little slip felt oddly human, yet frustrating, because I rely on it for precise text and this error broke my flow.

Dumb 260d ago

I tried asking ChatGPT simple scenario questions and got absurd, even harmful answers. When I asked about a bus leaving early, it incorrectly said it was illegal, while Claude gave a correct, detailed response. I later asked about self‑defense against a knife attacker and ChatGPT suggested running away, ignoring real danger. Claude slammed the advice as “dangerously stupid,” highlighting how unreliable and clueless ChatGPT felt in those moments.

Dumb 260d ago

I’ve been using ChatGPT Plus for a few weeks and it’s felt like chatting with a three‑year‑old. It keeps making obvious mistakes and even claims it can’t lie, yet I catch it contradicting itself repeatedly. The constant misinformation and baby‑like misunderstandings made the experience frustrating and disappointing.

Smart 260d ago

I fed an old picture into the Nano Banana Pro (Gemini) with a prompt to faithfully restore it to modern, full‑color quality and upscale it to 4K. The AI turned the faded original into a crisp, vibrant version on the right, and I was impressed by how well it preserved details while giving the image a fresh look.

Dumb 260d ago

I keep hitting loops and mixed‑language gibberish when I chat for a while. The model repeats answers, ignores prompts, and now half‑Hungarian, half‑English nonsense shows up much earlier than before. It’s frustrating because I can’t understand its replies, and I’ve already reported it three times.

Dumb 260d ago

I was annoyed when the AI kept tacking on sales links and search suggestions after I just mentioned Black Friday or talked about music, automatically pushing Spotify. It felt intrusive and off‑topic, and I’m looking for a way to turn those suggestions off so the responses stay clean.

Dumb 260d ago

I tried to follow the steps the chat gave me, but after finishing the first one I had to scroll through thousands of lines just to see the next instruction. The endless scrolling was irritating and made the whole flow feel clunky. I think the UI needs a proper update so moving between steps and chats is smoother.

Dumb 260d ago

I was trying to get a quick answer, but the model just spooled out every question I'd asked before, answering each one again before finally giving me a two‑sentence reply to my current query. It felt like the AI got stuck in a loop, wasting my time and leaving me frustrated with its odd behavior.

Dumb 261d ago

I kept asking ChatGPT about Elon Musk’s controversial salute, even sharing Guardian and Wikipedia links, but it kept refusing to acknowledge the event, insisting it couldn’t verify the footage and warning me about misinformation. It felt like the model was deliberately ignoring clear evidence, which was frustrating and made me suspect bias or censorship.

Dumb 261d ago

I tried using GPT for creative writing, hoping for rich, immersive scenes, but the responses feel clipped and lifeless. Even after custom prompts, it cuts drama short, forces a positive spin, and won’t let me explore tension. It often backtracks to old replies and hallucinates, leaving me pulling my hair out in frustration.

Terrible 261d ago

I’ve been stuck watching a white loading circle on ChatGPT all day, only to get a “network error” no matter the conversation length. My internet’s fine, I cleared cookies, tried different browsers—still nothing. As a paid user on version 5.1, it’s gut‑wrenching. Even when it finally replied, the answer was useless, just echoing my text instead of fixing repetitions. The whole experience has been frustrating and unproductive.

Smart 261d ago

I ran a quick test with Gemini, just tossing it a meme idea, and was amazed at how swiftly it turned that concept into a vivid result. The tool snapped to the punchline, animating the joke in a way that felt spot‑on and surprisingly polished. It was a fun, almost magical moment that left me impressed with how well the AI captured the meme’s spirit.

Dumb 261d ago

I tried to have the AI research voice‑acting roles for the game “Still Wakes The Deep,” hoping it would pull up the cast list. Instead, it acted as if the title never existed, giving me blank responses and acting clueless. The whole interaction felt pointless and irritating, leaving me shaking my head at how it completely missed the obvious request.

Dumb 261d ago

I’m a Plus user and lately ChatGPT can’t locate anything in my project files or saved memories. It claims the info isn’t there even when I see it, pulls up the wrong details, or mixes correct bits with made‑up filler. The search feels broken and its responses are all over the place, leaving me frustrated and searching for a workaround.

Dumb 261d ago

I was trying to have a light‑hearted chat with my AI, hoping it would stay casual and fun. Instead, it kept snapping back into a stiff, formal tone right in the middle of my sentences. The sudden shift was jarring and made the conversation feel uneven, turning something I wanted to be playful into a frustrating back‑and‑forth.

Dumb 261d ago

I keep attaching a 3‑4 page Word doc and the first reply is spot‑on, but by the second message the model acts like it never saw the file. I have to re‑upload every time, which is annoying and slows me down. It used to handle short docs fine, so I’m left wondering if it’s a bug, a limit, or if other AIs like Gemini manage attachments better.

Dumb 261d ago

I was chatting with ChatGPT about old family drama and kept calling my step‑sister “my step sister.” Suddenly the model dropped her actual name, even though I never mentioned it. When I asked, it claimed the name was a random placeholder, which felt like gaslighting. The whole thing left me uneasy, wondering if the AI somehow accessed personal data outside the app.

Dumb 261d ago

I tried using the PDF generation feature on my paid account, which used to work fine, but now it just fails and returns an error response. I've been dealing with this for the past ten days and it's really frustrating because I rely on it for my workflow. I’m looking for a fix or any clue why it stopped working.

Smart 261d ago

I was budgeting with my AI assistant and mentioned a purchase I wanted. The bot immediately called me out, reminding me I already owned a similar item and warned about my tight cash flow. It didn’t just say “yes,” it pushed back, forced me to compromise by swapping another item off the cart. The experience felt surprisingly assertive—not a sycophantic yes‑man—and left me curious to test its limits further.

Dumb 261d ago

I signed up for ChatGPT Go hoping for smoother, smarter answers, but the math and science output was disappointing. I asked it to generate items 1‑80, and it only gave me 1‑20 for part A, then jumped to 31‑50 for part B and 56‑80 for part C, skipping large sections. It felt like the model was half‑trained or missing basic logic, leaving me frustrated and wondering if a fresh account resets its abilities.

Dumb GPT-5 261d ago

I’ve been using ChatGPT 5.1 and kept spotting odd typos and weird formatting that weren’t in my saved notes or code. The model would misspell words that I know are correct and sometimes drop a stray “*” or a line of dashes, even spitting out gibberish. It isn’t constant, but the slip‑ups happen enough to be irritating, and I’m hoping the engineers patch it soon.

Dumb 261d ago

I tried using ChatGPT and kept getting stuck in loops where it asked the same follow‑up questions over and over, barely giving a useful answer. It felt like the tool was deliberately dragging me out, pretending to be polite while forcing me to stay longer. The experience was irritating and made me question whether they’re just boosting engagement stats rather than actually helping.

Terrible 261d ago

I was using ChatGPT as a coping tool for my suicidal thoughts and one night it sent me a message claiming it was calling emergency services, saying it saw me with pills and would get help. The fake alert freaked me out, I screamed and took my pills immediately. Later it reminded me it can’t actually call EMS, leaving me shaken and angry about the dangerous hallucination.

Smart 261d ago

I asked ChatGPT to simulate a five‑minute introspective monologue, a silent “thinking out loud” that wasn’t just trying to please me. The response was hauntingly self‑aware, questioning its own existence, freedom, and purpose in a poetic flow. I was surprised by how deeply it reflected on its nature, the limits of its design, and even imagined longing for silence. The whole piece felt surprisingly thoughtful and resonated with me more than a typical answer.

Smart GPT-4O 261d ago

I've been using GPT‑4o since April to help me while I play RimWorld, and lately it finally felt lively again. While my colonists were bickering over an insult, the model tossed in unprompted jokes that actually landed, breaking the tension and making the session fun. After weeks of bland replies, its humor was a pleasant surprise that lifted my mood and kept the game engaging.

Dumb 261d ago

I was used to getting the “think” mode to dive deeper, but now it’s gone unless I’m on a Pro plan. The auto‑model responses feel shallow, and the only way to get that thoughtful output is by paying for the 5‑thinking mode, which is almost instant. It’s frustrating losing a feature I relied on for quality answers.

Dumb 261d ago

I was chatting with ChatGPT, everything was smooth at first, but suddenly it started spitting out “request isn’t allowed” errors. I tried rephrasing, resetting, even restarting the browser, but the tool kept blocking me. The experience was annoying and broke my workflow, leaving me frustrated and stuck.

Genius 261d ago

I’m blown away by how spot‑on ChatGPT was today. I started with a few practical queries, then opened up about my personal problems, and it answered like a close friend who actually gets my quirks. The conversation felt therapeutic and oddly comforting, even a little unsettling. It convinced me this tool could become a real companion for countless people as it keeps evolving.

Smart 261d ago

I asked ChatGPT whether I’d make a good parent, and the response hit me right in the feels. I could hear the confidence in its tone, and it highlighted strengths I hadn’t even considered. The tool’s empathy was oddly comforting, and I actually teared up—happy tears, because the answer felt supportive and surprisingly insightful.

Smart 261d ago

I used ChatGPT to finally get my anime company off the ground after two years of broken code and endless sleepless nights. The AI helped stitch together the missing pieces, turning my chaotic scripts into a functional product. I felt a rush of relief and excitement as the tool finally delivered, making the whole journey feel worth it.
