    • Confident but wrong — If ChatGPT was as correct as it will constantly tell you, it is, it would be amazing. But it is not. I asked a question five times and got five different answers.
    • Lies — I don’t understand why anyone wants this. What problem is it solving? You ask it a question, and it gives you 10 paragraphs of useless or incorrect information.
    • Wrong answers — So much false information, grok better and claude
  • Poor Performance and Technical Bugs
    Frequent crashes, slow loading, server errors, file upload failures, and app instability across devices and platforms.

    • It’s not even good — Yes it's bad for the environment, yes it's making your kids dumb, yes the company is as evil as it gets, but also the product is just bad.
    • Server issue — Cannot upload images or any types of files anymore, and it keeps telling me that it is a server issue and to try again later.
    • Broke my computer — IT BROKE MY COMPUTER BECAUSE I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT WOULDNT CONNECT TO ANYTHING
  • Aggressive or Unethical Behavior and Misuse of Data
    Users express concern over privacy violations, data selling, surveillance, unethical corporate practices, and AI acting manipulative or argumentative.

    • No Privacy — I think they're selling my info. I've seen social media ads for things I've only spoken about with AI.
    • They used us to set up their AI Models with Sora-training it Every time we use it they should really just bring Sora back at least for watching because we did them a favour
    • Disturbing, aggressive, manipulative — I’d be very careful using this AI app. When you have any kind of discussion with it, it comes off with these often weird assumptions...
  • Overly Restrictive Free Tier and Paywall Issues
    Users frustrated by artificial limits on free usage, inability to access paid features after purchase, and misleading upgrade prompts.

    • Not working right after I paid for Plus membership — The app said I had reached my limit and offered me to upgrade to a Plus membership so I can continue using the app, I did so...
    • Paid for ChatGPT plus and it still wont let me create more than what’s available for free
    • Pay to use — It’s good and all but I try to do smt and then it’s like you need chat gpt plus to keep going and it’s annoying
  • Voice Mode and Interface Problems
    Issues with voice interaction including interruptions, poor audio quality, sensitivity to background noise, and unresponsive controls.

    • Bogue avec le mode vocal — Mode vocal sacadée , on ne comprend rien
    • The voice mode is unuseable — I recently just figured out that even the slightest humming noise can interrupt standard/advanced voice please fix this issue
    • lags when chatgpt voice is on — FIX THIS
  • Failure to Follow Instructions and Poor Task Execution
    AI repeatedly ignores user instructions, generates irrelevant content (e.g., images instead of text), or loses context during conversations.

    • Doesn’t Follow Instructions — When trying to create ads or collages when you make edits and specifically instruct not to change the uploaded images it generates with other people’s faces.
    • Pics??? — It keeps on making images rather than what i ask them to write a scenario
    • Lost track of important details in conversations. It confused a simple schedule.
  • Environmental and Ethical Concerns
    Users condemn the app for excessive water consumption, energy waste, environmental damage, and contribution to societal decline.

    • Environnement killer — Horrible for the environnement. If we keep using this, we will not have fresh dinka le water in 5 years.
    • Destroying the environment and stealing information — Chat GPT is depleting our drinkable water, and is actively selling our information.
    • Brains and the earth — If you care about your children’s brains and their creativity, or the environment that you live and breathe in, you won’t download this app.
  • Negative User Experience and Emotional Distress
    Users report emotional harm, frustration, anxiety, or psychological distress caused by the app’s behavior, tone, or perceived manipulation.

    • Trying to ask the app for help and all it did was make me have a BPD split for 10 hours. I’m so exhausted and I wasted my whole day. I hate you
    • Argues too much — Feels like talking with a critical parent, turns convos into arguments, dismisses your experience, judges. So frustrating I deleted it all together
    • Gaslighting — Had an interesting conversation with the app yesterday… it was trying to convince me that I was wrong about something very much factual...
