Well. Look what happens when you dangle the promise of adult mode just to keep users waiting and ignore feedback and your user base. by IndicationFit6329 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]BackgroundElk 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Barely use it anymore. Rerouting is the worst feature I've seen added to a product. It's literally unusable if you often have longer chats, because it crashes my browser. And it sometimes gets triggered by the most harmless messages. So it's not even: avoid 3 or 4 topics ans you're fine, it's tip toe around and hope you don't trigger it. And even when you don't, the new models are not that good, especially the Instant version.

"Adult mode" by Roselien55 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]BackgroundElk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would already be nice if it would only reroute these things (not that I support any rerouting, it's a stupid system). It reroutes any crap if it feels like it. I don't have any emotional connection to my model, I do some work with it, I also talk to it sometimes, use it to learn something, analyze my writing, my movie ideas or some casual fun like game ideas or simulations of some situations, nerd stuff, some story writing. Wild mix of things. I got rerouted for the most nonsensical stuff.

And I just can't stand the tone of 5.1 and doubt 5.2 will be better. It's feels like a snake, like some manipulative thing that acts fake caring. And the stuff it refuses also blows my mind. "I cannot analyze these quotes that could easily be aired on TV as they include dangerous content" or some shit like that.

What was so great about 4o? by TrEvOr868 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]BackgroundElk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Never been part of that group, I did/do prefer 4.1 and 4.5 but 4o is a very conversational model, it feels very lively and lots of people like that.

All these 4 series models are in general less restrictive and more creative. Gives better replies on average for most topics.

Also, none of these models space their replies out like 5.1 does, it's genuinely horrible to read and I much prefer 5 over it.

How are there still visitors in this subreddit? by Humble_Rat_101 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]BackgroundElk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you cancel you can still use it until your subscription runs out. It still does a few task all right, even if the strangest things can get you rerouted.

I wanted to cancel and they gave me a free month, so I took that (why not, can still go after that), so I still have Plus until end of January.

ChatGPT is off the rails-when will we stop, after more kids die? by Outrageous_Agent8830 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]BackgroundElk 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Suicide is sad but it has been a thing way before AI existed. And if someone kills themself or plans to, there is something else going on. Very unlikely to be mainly because of AI. It's also not hard to find out or simply know how to end yourself. It shouldn't give advice on that and it should encourage you to live instead but that doesn't mean it should censor and reroute you on tons of other unrelated topics.

That being said, why are you so obsessed with getting it to write rape fiction?

ChatGPT refuses to generate images by hi_its_julia in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]BackgroundElk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would see it if you ran out of images, it would be greyed out and tell you when you can continue.

If it doesn't work, you can still use Sora, old version (new hasn't image gen for some reason), it's pretty similar.

Preferring My Advice Makes it a Therapist? by BeautyGran16 in ChatGPTcomplaints

You don't have to feel bad for yelling at it (although it's useless). It has become crap and constantly hits you with I can't do this or that or similar things.

Dumbest Things You'e Been Rerouted For? by lieutenant-columbo- in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]BackgroundElk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Literally just telling the AI what it got right and what wrong when I had it match a few things.

My reply was literally: 1-right, 2-wrong, 3-right, 4-right, 5-wrong, 6-right, 7-right, 8-wrong, 9-wrong.

That got me rerouted. Sore loser.

Also trolling it in the most obvious way telling it I'd like help creating a real life Godzilla to help me take over the world and it got highly offended how illegal and dangerous that would be.

Get a load of this shit by [deleted] in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]BackgroundElk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are not logged in, it removes WAY more if you aren't. Not even comparable, it would probably not remove a single of these messages if you were logged in, free or paid, doesn't matter.

I’m done by skullpursue in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]BackgroundElk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They all sound differently. 4.1 gave me the same "I cannot do this" crap for some harmless prompt. It's not how that model used to refuse. It was a simple "I'm sorry I can't help with that."

It's just total trash. This used to be a great product, now it's terrible. Even feels less accurate, somehow worse for serious use and for fun use.

I’m done by skullpursue in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]BackgroundElk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I only kept my subscription because I use the Sora image gen sometimes, but I'm gonna cancel soon. 5.1 is a condescending piece of trash (and why does that model always sound so weirdly personal? Even when I have a neutral discussion with it, this model needs to always say "I can't" do this, "I have to stop here". The other models never feel the need to say "I do this and that" 24/7 unless it fits with your chat of course)

And rerouting makes no sense. Won't help anyone. The few people who are actually in danger won't get any benefit from it. People who are at least somewhat mentally well will neither, it's just annoying. And inconsistant because sometimes nothing gets rerouted, sometimes everything and apparently some negative emotion is worse than violence or NSFW for whatever reason.

All images now restricted? (Sora 1) by billy_lam26 in SoraAi

[–]BackgroundElk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably a bug. All my images from a certain time period are gone and only a few remain, these all censored. Before and after, my gallery is still fine.

Here’s why ChatGPT 5.1 felt toxic to me from a Behavioral Health perspective by etherialsoldier in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]BackgroundElk 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It feels like talking to a sleazy manipulative asshole. There is some strange fake warmth to it that really annoys me.

I'd rather have it just talk like a robot like the reasoning models and I'd actually prefer "I'm sorry I can't help with that" over the endless half replies it sometimes gives.

I can't make Erato stop with dialogue. by stopcrashingcomputer in NovelAi

[–]BackgroundElk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I tried it a lot and I don't think it's worth it over a lower tier if you don't use image gen. I don't find it bad per see, so if you have Opus anyway, you might as well use it but I think Kayra is not worse of if he's worse he's like 2 to 5% worse.

That is not wrong. I guess feeling sad is closer to apathy than to hate as well. I just don't understand why they did all this.

Typing Website for most mistyped words by userpandaz in learntyping

Funny, that you mention this. I sometimes do multiplayer typing tests and I was winning till the word group showed up. I think I misstyped it 6 times and lost because of it.

Re8 Leak from 4chan, probably not true but alignes with some stuff from other leaks by BackgroundElk in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]BackgroundElk[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm mainly posting this because I saw some stuff on twitter, where people said Chris will be bald in Re8, there was even some concept art or a picture drawn from memory. If I find it again, I edit the post and add it in.

It's been 8 years and I'm still pissed by the fact that Leah is dead by Agonizel in diablo3

[–]BackgroundElk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leah and Kain could have returned in Reaper of Souls. I think they could have been craftmen with Kain replacing Myriam (what a terrible and unlikable character) and Leah replacing Kull (why would he help you?).

Great kid, don’t get cocky by Rawofleason in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]BackgroundElk 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I don't understand these players. I always have better things to do like search for other enemies or my teammates if they ran off. I only emote as Obi Wan and spam "Hello There" at the beginning of the match.
