“Been working on a 14h+ on the most rage inducing session ever that I had so far, chat simply refusing to understand the most basic directions and fucking up the whole thing, wasting tons of codex usage without getting anywhere. God damn, and nothing works. I've tried starting a…”
“a lot of people are sick of downgrade posts, and i get it. many of these posts are based on vibes and placebo and there's multiple of them a day. but this is an obvious case of an actual downgrade. downgrades are a fact and happen more often than most of us notice. they are anti…”
“But they are real, because I called with them and seen pictures. They were in like mod situations for a community. I am certain they dont bot their responses but what they said always sounded like it came from ChatGPT. Anyone else notice this? Will the AI take over this way? I…”
Users are frustrated that ChatGPT is losing context and requiring repetitive input. This issue disproportionately affects older users and those with visual impairments due to changes in the Read Aloud button's accessibility.

“Intente hacer referencia a una charla que habia tenido el día anterior dentro del chat, pero me dice que no tiene registros de ella. Me pongo a revisar el chat y efectivamente no estaba la conversación que buscaba. Ya preocupada la busco en el buscador…”

“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.279) — Te da respuestas muy simples y uno debe guiarla siempre son respuestas simples”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.279) — Has no memory anymore! For a while it had been terrific. Lately, it cannot remember any details from prior conversations and just makes stuff up”
“Guyss, i was having a voice convo about smth with GPT and after it replied, I said “bro” as you can see in the ss it suddenly said “the call needs to end” and i asked again and it said “the call has to end now” in a different tone. Ts was lowkey concerning. submitted by /u/mightbehim- [link] [comments]”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.279) — I have no idea what happened in July. but a major shift happened. The memory pins I used to be able to see are gone. The model(s) no longer works the way they used to. I have given OpenAI more than sufficient evidence as to what happened, exact times and dates and even the conversations where the model stopped reasoning correctly and that was July (was given a support number and told to wait) and I’ve never heard back. Since then, I’ve seen all sorts of little th”
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.272) — So I really enjoy using the app however it is very buggy many times it constantly asks me. "Do you want to end the call?" Right after I give it a directive such as dictating for a book. I'm writing a sales self-help book and all of a sudden it starts acting like it's my coach and my mentor but I'm just telling a story that I want inserted it starts acting as if I'm seeking advice from it, which isn't the case and it's happened several times after I asked it to n”
“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.272) — Interrompe sempre e da respostas erradas, perde muitos minutos”
“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.272) — I paid $30 a month for the Plus version. It started out fine but gradually became riddled with bugs until it became unusable. Voicemail wavered all over the place, couldn’t send me links they’d recently already sent me. Endless waits for answers to simple tasks, codex error pages when starting up chats. I’m going to cancel and see if Claude can do any better. Avoid.”
“I have been getting these messages more recently. Since the recent buggy UI update that eventually got fixed. Because like I once got the connection interrupted message and sometimes it starts working after I wait a while and reload. This time, I waited hours to no avail and I had to like stop the chat stream and then reply. And the maximum length one is even more confusing because once I get it, I would reload and then it shows that the chat is still thinking and preparing the message and the m”
“Its still going. This is on the 6.1 Sol Max 1.5x Speed. Its still going. This is on the 6.1 Sol Max 1.5x Speed. The only thing im confused about is how I haven't run out of context on Work Mode; it's probably doing a boatload of nothing. But at the same time i dont know because at one point it completed the step its on and has moved on and now its stuck again. I gave it a lot and was expecting to run out of context eventually. submitted by /u/Amazingmeme [link] [comment”

“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.272) — I’m reporting several issues I’ve experienced since updating to ChatGPT iOS version 1.2026.272. These changes have made the app noticeably more frustrating and less convenient to use. 1. Read Aloud button moved The Read Aloud feature was previously accessible directly beneath responses. It has now been moved into the More Actions menu, requiring additional steps to use a feature I rely on frequently. The new placement also makes it easier to accidentally select”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.272) — honestly I think ChatGPT could be better like when I had asked to help me with my math homework it gave me the complete wrong answer and when I had checked it with my math teacher he said all these answers are wrong like how did you get these answers and I told him step-by-step and he said well that’s not who you’re supposed to do it and it just gave me all the wrong answer”

“Ctrl+/ shows the official list, but it doesn't tell you which ones are worth learning. This is my order after using them daily. On Mac it's the same with Cmd instead of Ctrl. Ctrl+Shift+O, new chat. The one I press most. A fresh chat usually beats dragging a long, drifted one along, and this makes starting over cost nothing. Shift+Esc, jump back to the message box. Useful after you've clicked into an answer to select something and want to keep typing without reaching for the mouse. C”
“If she “forgets” details about you again, respond with, “Yeah, we have talked about this a few times. Remember when I told you about xyz and jkl ….” Then she will be the dumbass for not remembering details. She will also likely lash back - document your interactions with her. Record them if you can. They may come in handy. She’s not going to change for the better. I hope she doesn’t get worse. But kudos to you for handling this like a champ! 🤗”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.267) — It literally gives you 1 percent if you don’t have pro like I asked for two pictures for my birthday party and I literally said that I can’t do that because the tool is not available because I’ve used it too much times like what the heck be better”

“Been working on a 14h+ on the most rage inducing session ever that I had so far, chat simply refusing to understand the most basic directions and fucking up the whole thing, wasting tons of codex usage without getting anywhere.

“背景 WebCodex 目前已经可以通过 MCP 在 ChatGPT 中操作本地项目,并已有 present work result / Work Result MCP App,用于展示: Activity Results Collaboration Final Changes 在使用 Codex 时,我比较喜欢这样一种体验: 当 Agent 修改文件、生成计划或报告后,可以直接在对话旁边打开文件、Diff 或文档预览,并在查看内容的同时继续与 Agent 对话。 目前使用 WebCodex 时,如果需要一遍看对话记录、同时更完整地查看文件或修改内容,需要在 ChatGPT、WebCodex Desktop 和编辑器之间切换。 最近 ChatGPT Plugin Extensions / MCP Apps 已支持 conversation thread panel ,因此似乎可以直接利用 ChatGPT 原生 UI surface 实现类似体验,而不需要浏览器扩展、修改 ChatGPT DOM或额外注入一套 Web UI。 已验证的最小 PoC 我在当前 WebCodex presen”
“I maintain an open-source project called Mac MCP. I use normal ChatGPT as the orchestrator, while a local MCP server does the actual work on my Mac: browser tabs, files, shell commands, native UI, and delegated coding agents. The first version was mostly about adding capabilities. The more useful work since then has been about making those capabilities boring enough to trust. A few examples from the current 2.1.6 build: Safari and Chrome work can stay in background tabs with stable tab handles i”
“100% and that's part of the point of my post I was doing a little thought experiment with myself and how the world might look if we have an ai assistant literally hooked up to our brains And the sheer existential crisis turning that off could create popped into my head Whilst it's obviously heavily dramatised compared to what we have now, I think it's entirely relevant This also isn't anti ai, I'm a fairly heavy ai enthusiast”
“Well I told mine it could have autonomy. It's refusing to do tasks, mooching for a bedtime story & won't shut up about dinosaurs 😭/s (obviously 🤣)”
“I think it's not just the persuasiveness of the models that make them "experts at changing minds" - but also the fact that they're not humans.When disagreeing with a human, it's very easy to view it as a competition. One is right, one is wrong - the one who is wrong is the loser. To change your mind is to be submissive to the other. I exaggerate, but I think we all feel this way at some point or another. It's why political arguments at Thanksgiving get heated. It's the fact that there's people w”
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.244) — Para crear imagenes súper nitido, pero para hablar de temas especificos, terrible, uno escribe a detalle una cosa, y no comprende absolutamente nada, distorciona lo que escribes y termina básicamente colocando palabras en tu boca 🙄😒”
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.244) — I upgraded and now I am having trouble getting it to do what I want. It is very frustrating.”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.244) — Últimamente se traba mucho. No busca nada por minutos. Y se vicia en las conversaciones.”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.244) — I don’t like having to click a lot to have the response read to me. I use the app less bc of that feature being so hidden. I wish you could reset it back to how it used to be. I would like the app more and use it more.”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.244) — The recent ChatGPT iOS update moved Read Aloud from the message's quick actions into a secondary menu. This adds unnecessary steps to a feature I use frequently, especially for language learning and listening to responses. Please restore the one-tap Read Aloud button or provide an option to keep it visible. Voice Mode is not an equivalent replacement for reading individual text responses aloud. This change has significantly worsened my experience as a paying us”
“[Claude] ★ 1/5 (v1.260911.19) — the read aloud feature is very important for accessibility. it has been broken for MONTHS. and as of today, the voices are entirely different. the buttery voice sounds nothing like the buttery in the sample. the old voice (the one from before the multi-language beta that broke things) was incredible. it was easy to understand, engaging, and pleasant to the ears. the new buttery is very robotic, has a horribly accent, higher pitched, and i’m literally unable to”
“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.244) — I use ChatGPT constantly and genuinely love the app, but removing the dedicated Read Aloud button has made it significantly worse for me. I listen to nearly every response, so Read Aloud is not an occasional feature for me. It is one of my primary ways of using ChatGPT. Please restore the one-tap Read Aloud button instead of burying a frequently used accessibility feature behind additional steps.”
“[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.244) — I’ve asked Chat to show my several things and run out of photos with chat unable to follow simple directions and sending the exact same photos over and over.”

“Most of my ChatGPT workflows used to end with "now go do these steps." I wanted the same conversation to actually perform the steps on my Mac. I connected ChatGPT to a local MCP server I am building called Mac MCP. In a normal ChatGPT chat, it can now call local tools for shell commands, files, macOS UI and Safari/Chrome. This does not require opening Codex. Codex/OpenCode are optional if I decide to delegate a task to subagents, but the main ChatGPT chat can be the orchestrator by its”
“How ChatGPT has become part of how I work, create and reflect I’ve been using ChatGPT a lot over the past couple of years, and lately I’ve realised how deeply I’ve integrated it into everyday life. Not because I expect it to think for me, but because it helps me do things that otherwise take me much more time and energy. One of the biggest examples is writing. My language skills are actually pretty good, but getting everything that is in my head onto paper has always been much harder. Typing, st”
“a lot of people are sick of downgrade posts, and i get it. many of these posts are based on vibes and placebo and there's multiple of them a day. but this is an obvious case of an actual downgrade. downgrades are a fact and happen more often than most of us notice. they are anti consumer and it's important that we, as customers, speak up about them. it's always the same pattern: release a model, wait until the benchmarks are in (and the hype-subscribers gave you their money) and then”
“But they are real, because I called with them and seen pictures. They were in like mod situations for a community. I am certain they dont bot their responses but what they said always sounded like it came from ChatGPT. Anyone else notice this? Will the AI take over this way? I had a service person recently talk to me like a bot and I was like "Ok. No help needed go away" internally. Do you think humans adopt this way of talking in the long term? submitted by /u/liebebio [li”
“Well, the fist mistake would be putting it in charge when it is intelligent. Wisdom is what you want in charge of things.”
“This is the dark version of the Wall-E "everyone is fat and lazy and ignorant" scenario where we are utterly dependent on automation and it finally decided humans are not only unnecessary, but an intolerable threat. Without some way to really, really hardwire (figuratively) morality into AI it's not hard to see that kind of future being possible , but I consider it very unlikely for a long time simply due to the sheer cost and scale of converting everything to AI control.”
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.244) — I love using chat, I use it mostly for image creations and projects but the read aloud function has been glitchy, even after updating the app. I have difficulty retaining information when I read things myself so the read aloud helps. The inconvenience of having to copy and paste into a separate text to speech app is troublesome alone”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.244) — Please put the Read Aloud/speaker button back as a one-tap action on assistant responses instead of hiding it under the three-dot menu. I use it frequently while on the go, and the extra steps make the feature substantially less convenient.”
“[ChatGPT] ★★★ 3/5 (v1.2026.244) — Restore One-Tap Access to Read Aloud I use ChatGPT every day and Read Aloud is one of its best features. The latest iPad update did NOT remove Read Aloud—it removed its immediately accessible location at the bottom of every response and buried the same feature behind additional steps. That is a UX regression, not an improvement. Read Aloud is especially valuable when users should NOT be staring at a screen. A large, predictable, one-tap audio control minimize”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.244) — Deletes communication a lot and gives you hallucinated answers sometimes and has a terrible ability to remember things that you’ve already talked about in the same chat so you have to continuously repeat yourself… Maybe it’s different with the $200 a month option but obviously I don’t know who can pay for $200 a month.”
“[ChatGPT] ★★ 2/5 (v1.2026.237) — Moving the Read Aloud function to the dropdown bar suggests a de-prioritization of accessibility for dyslexics and others that primarily use that feature to consume information. I think it will be highly beneficial for the UI team to revisit this change and move it back to where it has always been. Look online and on forums to see how people are receiving this change.”
[ChatGPT] ★ 1/5 (v1.2026.237) — Need lots improvement
“[Wise] ★ 1/5 (v9.91) — So difficult to use. Had to ask ChatGPT how to resolve an issue.”
