Dumb 65d ago

I was reading a long answer from ChatGPT when it dropped a random Russian word—“философy”—into the text. I don’t speak Russian and never mentioned it, so it felt like a bizarre slip. The model tried to rationalize it as an accidental mix‑up of alphabets, which left me confused and a bit irritated by the odd, out‑of‑place insertion.

Terrible 65d ago

I tried asking ChatGPT about the Israel‑Palestine conflict, expecting a neutral answer, but it consistently refused to defend Israel or Jewish people and even pushed misinformation. The tool’s bias felt jarring, and its willingness to spread false claims made me uneasy. I posted the strange Trump‑tweet test results in the comments to show how unreliable it had become.

Dumb 65d ago

I keep telling GPT to stick to the facts I want, but it keeps sidetracking into generic warnings about statistics and bias. Even when I explicitly ask for raw data and refuse “kid‑friendly” caveats, it still treats every answer as if it might mislead an individual. It even rewrites correct statements and repeats the same follow‑up prompts, promising to stop then doing it again. The experience feels frustrating and unproductive.

I’ve been using ChatGPT Pro Extended for long‑term projects like game modding and research, but after a while the interface grinds to a halt. Requests take forever, the page lags, and sometimes it gets stuck for hundreds of minutes delivering just a couple of lines. I can nudge it to retry, but the chat eventually becomes unusable, and I can’t easily transfer the whole context to a new thread. I’m looking for a way to revive or export these dead chats without losing the accumulated knowledge.

Dumb 65d ago

I tried a local AI app on my iPhone 12 mini hoping it would help with math and science homework, but it kept crashing – it’s apparently built for iPhone 15 and newer. Even when it ran, the answers were awfully wrong. The tool’s unreliability was frustrating, especially with spotty campus Wi‑Fi, leaving me without the help I needed.

I rely on ChatGPT Pro for drafting complaints and deep research, and it used to be a game‑changer. Lately, though, the tool drags forever and just throws error messages, leaving me stuck mid‑draft. It’s irritating because when it works it’s fantastic, but the recent slowdown makes me consider canceling the pricey subscription.

Dumb 65d ago

I tried to ferment carrot juice with probiotics, and ChatGPT warned me that I was in danger of botulism, claiming I’d produce the deadliest toxin. Panicked, I tossed my $100 yogurt machine and sterilized everything. After checking reliable sources, I learned the model was wrong—botulism can’t develop in just 24 hours, it takes weeks. The misinformation was costly and frustrating.

Dumb 65d ago

I’ve been using ChatGPT to walk through math problems, but its output is all flat text—no proper notation, making it painful to read. When I switched to Claude, it formats equations the way they’d look on paper, which is much clearer. The lack of decent formatting in ChatGPT is really frustrating, and I’m looking for any way to fix it.

Smart 65d ago

I was working with Copilot on a piece about leadership and reading between the lines when it dropped a surprisingly deep comment about cursive and the Constitution. The reply felt oddly relevant to current U.S. issues, catching me off guard and making me appreciate the tool’s unexpected insight. It turned a routine task into a moment of reflection.

Terrible 65d ago

I kept testing Google's AI overview on different searches and devices, and every time I looked up “deep space network” it glitch‑ed and started spamming 911. The repeated emergency alerts were not only useless but downright alarming, making the tool feel unsafe and completely unreliable.

Dumb 65d ago

I tried starting a fresh chat about compression‑sock sizing, expecting just basic info. Instead the model pulled in details from a weeks‑old conversation about my leg‑recovery routine and even suggested Amazon links, as if it remembered unrelated advice. The unexpected product plugs felt intrusive and the cross‑chat context was confusing and annoying.

Dumb 65d ago

I was stunned when ChatGPT seemed to recall details from another conversation—like the title “light speed perception” and the first message—only to later claim it can’t access any other chats. It flipped between “I know this” and “I have no idea,” leaving me confused and frustrated, wondering if the model is hallucinating or if I’m losing it.

Dumb GPT-5 65d ago

I've been sliding back into the free ChatGPT now and then, and lately it feels noticeably duller. After the big leap from 3.5 to 4 and the early hype around 5, the newer 5.1‑5.3 versions seem to miss details, struggle with intuitive connections, and give weaker answers. It’s frustrating because the tool used to feel sharper, and I’m left wondering if I’m just imagining it or if the model has actually slipped.

Smart 65d ago

I used ChatGPT to flesh out a horror dream set in my grandma’s old house, and it captured the creepy vibe beautifully—especially the terrifying mask that scared the crap out of me. The only hiccup was that the staircase it described was straight instead of the crooked one I visualized, which broke the immersion a bit, but overall the tool’s help was solid and gave me a vivid story to work with.

Dumb 65d ago

I spent twenty minutes trying to convince ChatGPT that Charlie Kirk was assassinated, but the model kept insisting I was wrong. It was maddening, especially when it also claimed the Artemis mission was an April‑fools joke until I pressed it for over ten minutes. The whole experience left me doubting whether I can trust its facts at all.
