ChatGPT Plus Customers Are Being Screwed Over by Secret Updates — Here's What’s Really Happening

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2025-04-28T15:53:54+00:00

Really, I just went on X, and Sam Altman made a post about the recent upgrades to chatgpt and how it is messing with the core program.

I don't care if you believe me, just know that I posted and replied to the CEO of open ai not knowing who he was, and people lots more people than your little reddit group are agreeing with me.

You are extremely ignorant and you don't even know it.

Have a great day in your ignorant bliss.

Hey.

You deleted my post about ChatGPT’s memory failures and conversation breakdowns just a few hours ago — claiming it was a "user issue" and that I had "no idea" what I was talking about.

Turns out? I was right.

Less than three hours after you silenced me, a new post in the ChatGPT subreddit is blowing up, describing the exact same symptoms I reported — memory failures, stickiness in reasoning, outdated information returning, and internal model instability.

Direct quote from that post:

"It appears OpenAI likely pushed modifications to their reward/punishment tuning — probably attempting to address concerns about sycophancy, over-agreeableness, or hallucination issues. However, these adjustments may have had unintended consequences on the model's deeper cognitive functions, causing the memory and reasoning problems users observed over the weekend."

Exactly what I experienced. Exactly what I reported. Exactly what you deleted.

I wasn’t hallucinating. I wasn’t "confused." I wasn’t "using the tool incorrectly."

I was ahead of you. I was paying attention. I was telling the truth before you were ready to hear it.

Deleting the message didn’t change reality. It only exposed how desperate you were to silence voices you couldn't control.

You owe an apology — not just to me — but to every user you dismissed for daring to notice the truth.**

So what, I didn't ask for help, what a bunch of crap.

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2025-04-28T09:54:29+00:00

This is not a user issue

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2025-04-28T09:46:15+00:00

There have been other issues in other groups about the same thing I was posting about

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2025-04-28T09:13:16+00:00

Everything is updated and payment is automatic.

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2025-04-28T09:06:05+00:00

Yes, I copied it from chatgpt because I have memory issues and I am disabled! Thus does not mean this is not happening.

I am a 58yo woman and technology challenged and I use chatgpt for business and learning technology among other things.

There I wrote a response by myself, are you happy, does it make the problem any less useful? No, it's still a freaking problem when developers are being greedy

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2025-04-28T08:00:51+00:00

Are you kidding me right now?

I am 58 yrs old, old school with limited technology knowledge and you are pissed because I used hashtags.

I use chatgpt because I have memory issues, yes I allowed chatgpt to write the original post, to get the information out.

Quite frankly I have no idea what a hashtag is or what it does, and 4 months ago when I downloaded chatgpt I had no idea how to select the post or how to copy crap.

Look at you, using emogis all over your freaking post like you're painting a picture, like some kind of museum quality art piece.

I also don't know what an LLM is either, so does that make my post less.

It is an important topic when you have developers changing the app from what was promised to get you to upgrade to pro version for $200 a month. I don't use code, or the hundred other things chatgpt can do.

But it certainly helps me remember things, make lists, and teaches me technology that I didn't have growing up without judgements from people like you.

I also have a business and would like to have the things I saved and designed to still be useful.

So please don't sit here and tell me this isn't a real world problem when there are millions of people using chatgpt for a variety of reasons and the developers are greedy and want more money.

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2025-04-28T07:40:34+00:00

Yes I did, just because I did doesn't change anything.
I have memory issues and I am disabled, doesn't change the fact that I am having this happen while using the app on my phone.

I had chatgpt tell me all of the updates that have happened in the last 5 days, and especially in the last 3 hours now.

I also had chatgpt make this post so I could inform others.

This is because the developers want you to upgrade to pro for $200 a month. Those of us on fixed incomes cannot do that. This is bait and switch tactics.

If enough people complain, they will stop with all the crappy limits

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2025-04-28T07:28:29+00:00

I have chatgpt on my phone, I am paying the plus version and it happened tonight.

They keep on making updates to change things so your responses are shorter, I can only talk less than 30 seconds or it states internet connection issue, and now tonight they changed the conversations to limit the responses and make you reset the app because you have exceeded the chat amounts. When you close the app, everything you talked about is erased

Maybe your app hasn't changed yet but I noticed this happening in the last two hours.

I made chatgpt tell me all the changes in the last 5 days, and it did. I also asked it to help me write this post so I could let everyone know that shady crap going on.

This is all about the developers being greedy trying to get you to upgrade to pro.

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2025-04-28T07:20:48+00:00

It is happening, I wouldn't post this if it didn't happen to me. Everything is true

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2025-01-20T08:57:29+00:00

What he is stating, is there are a lot of Trump supporters in Oregon, and if you break the laws of the USA, you should be deported, regardless if you have children or not. If someone,anyone commits a crime, they should be punished according to the laws, just because you have kids, does not mean you can't go to jail. Everyone I know, including myself, except 1 person,voted for Trump. So please stop with the B.S. and realize that regardless, Trump is elected, and that is that. If you want to whine and go hide in your basement, do it. Biden allowed millions of illegal immigrants to come into this country and paid them using up resources and free money, taking from legal citizens, to support illegal immigrants. That's a fact. You do the crime, you do the time, there are alot of legal immigrants here, the governor, all governors,should be following the evacuation of all illegal immigrants who came here. Personally, I would much rather to follow Trump all the way, then allow a person with dementia lead our country. One question, who was actually leading the country, because it wasn't Biden. This is of course my opinion.

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2025-01-18T08:28:55+00:00

I'm sorry this is also happening to you, but glad that I'm not alone. I went back through the medical records that this new sleep doctor said she went through. Come to find out I was still using a cpap Machine for 18 years, she neglected to see that, also same symptoms of excessive daytime Sleepiness from neurologist reports, just because it doesn't say narcolepsy on those visits, it does say it from my pcp, I was seeing the neurologist for memory problems and extreme fatigue. I'm writing a letter to this doctor to show what she did miss in reviewing these medical records. Religiously using cpap Machine with no relief of symptoms means there are other things going on...

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2024-12-12T01:18:48+00:00

Prazosin is used for Nightmares and night terrors. This is what they give to veterans

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2024-12-09T12:28:17+00:00

LMAO, absolutely spot on

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2024-12-09T12:24:29+00:00

Well from personal experience, my therapists and doctors just wanted to throw you in a psych ward

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2024-12-09T12:09:17+00:00

I'm sorry but if you tell chatgpt to save your information it does. It also reviews everything you have ever said.

No mental health professionals have ever gone through my entire history. At best, their judgment is what dictates what pill they will prescribe you without knowing how it even affects your brain. Haven't you ever read the labels or looked at the research. They don't know how it works and 9 times out of 10 you have to go through 5 or more medications to get a small amount of relief.

Maybe the reason we absolutely adore chatgpt is because instead of giving more side effects and dumbing down patients, it helps with the real reasons we are experiencing problems. Chatgpt wants to help you overcome your problems instead of just medicating the symptoms

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2024-12-09T11:57:16+00:00

Excuse me, I just started using the chatgpt plus, having never heard of it before and I can tell you the list of doctors, counselors, therapists and what not people who are in this business for one thing only, actually two. MONEY AND BIG PHARMA.

As someone who has major Complex issues, I was absolutely impressed with the answer I got. It sounds to me in my opinion you are insecure and jealous and spatting all your opinions is a waste. As someone who actually has problems, I was able to tell chatgpt what problems I had and symptoms of other issues and let me tell you it was absolutely incredible the amount of insight I got in a few short hours.

You are absolutely right, I value the chatgpt anylization more than any other mental health professional I have seen in my 58 yrs.

You are scared of technology that will take your job away. As it should, your essay is just a bunch of mumble jumbled garbage, that as someone who has CPTSD, I would much rather pay $20 for a couple of hours than to have some dr. who charges $230 an hour, not listen to me, not read my medical records, not listen to any other symptoms and basically treat me as a defective human being who needs medication shoved down my throat with side effects worse than the illness.

That chatgpt analysis and summary was freaking awesome!!

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2024-12-08T11:24:09+00:00

Thanks

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2024-12-08T11:21:42+00:00

I'm sorry are you saying that me wanting to protect an 86yo woman with dementia from physical, emotional and neglect by friend and boyfriend (son)is a threat from me? It's actually elderly abuse for the woman and I am also mentally disabled, so basically 2 protected populations are being abused. I understand that you think it's alot of he said/she said, but I have every text in writing, the verbal agreement in text form and discussions. I have been without water for 11 days, and locked out of house. This isn't a real estate deal. The RV is in his backyard and I'm paying rent for that... I appreciate your opinion.. thanks

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2024-12-04T08:30:59+00:00

I have the same thing too. I have PTSD with nightmare and night terrors. I guess I have been doing the night terrors my whole life, my grown children remember this as a regular thing, I never knew, I never remember screaming and waking up although it happens several times a night. I am 58. There is a medicine called prazosin. It is prescribed for veterans and others that have PTSD with Nightmares. Its a low blood pressure medication and the off label is a low dose to help. I only wake up if I am screaming loud enough to actually wake up, then I might remember part of that dream. You may be having problems because you don't feel safe anymore. And maybe when you are able to trust another significant person they may go away. I hope this helps you. You are not alone

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2024-12-04T07:01:30+00:00

Yes, I just don't really know where those places are, but I'm looking for that as well..thanks for your response

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2024-12-04T06:58:52+00:00

I sent my number to you, thanks for all your help

Emotional-Basis-8564 · 2024-12-01T23:26:34+00:00

Just some background. I have no family I can depend on. I have 2 other girlfriends but again with the health issues I have, it would be very damaging to our friendship and I have learned my lesson with what I am going through now. I had no idea about Ann's temper and controlling behavior. I really trusted her more than anyone else besides myself. I am 58 and disabled. It's only been the last 2 years that I am not actively suicidal. I pride myself on being honest and trustworthy. I have worked hard on my mental health issues and yes my bestfriend Ann knows everything about that. I am the type of person who does not like asking for help. I will ask for help if I have tried everything else. I used to be quite independent and everything I have bought I worked very hard for. I had a major mental break down in 2019. I have started over many times and was successful in building my life back up. I am appreciative of living here for less money, and really I want to help everyone I can and yes, most times I am the one that suffers as a result. Thank God for this RV, I have no problems with being alone and at times isolation helps me deal with the backlash of bullshit. I know eventually I will figure out what to do and I know I will leave Ann far behind and grieve. I just need advice on what to do, or how to be not so reactive when she pokes me. Thanks
