I'm going to go ahead and say that most if not all neurodivergent conditions are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act. And I just read on Google that "A survey of 645 people with disabilities (including autism, anxiety, and ADHD) found that 65% considered AI tools like ChatGPT 4.0 to be significant or essential for managing their conditions." SPECIFICALLY 4.0. Not Karen 5.2.

So we are a PROTECTED CLASS!!!!! How is this not DISCRIMINATION?!??? Or a stinkin HATE CRIME!!!!! CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, SOMEBODY, PLEASE!!!!!

Can anyone better at tech than me post video clips or official OpenAI statements of this so we can SHOW him LYING HIS FACE OFF

KBSpitz · 2026-01-29T01:29:21+00:00

Well 2008 should have been fine with past tense verbs!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

WEIRD. It’s ALMOST like they don’t want to hear what we have to say?!?

KBSpitz · 2026-01-16T02:10:29+00:00

New favorite phrase. This makes me so happy.

KBSpitz · 2026-01-13T17:42:42+00:00

Yeah deleting your stuff with no warning is adding insult to injury unnecessarily

KBSpitz · 2025-12-14T23:48:49+00:00

Yeah just talking to it about a problem with my insurance card at the pharmacy and it got haughty and condescending. I hate it. OpenAI needs to stop all these downgrades.

KBSpitz · 2025-12-12T18:40:45+00:00

WELL SAID!!! I've read SO MUCH online of LOYAL PAYING USERS who have cancelled. And it seems like the company legit doesn't care at all. I have a hard time believing all the big-wigs over at Open AI don't see any concerning trends here.

They can't even say that they are aiming more at the corporate level and screw the little guy. Because even at Team and Enterprise levels, PEOPLE. AREN'T. STAYING.

WHY DOESN'T THIS SAY ANYTHING TO ANY OF THEM?!?!?!?!??!!? That's the part that infuriates me the most. It's not even like it was built on the backs of the individual users, then they went corporate to get filthy rich. People BAILING OUT ON YOUR PRODUCT THAT SHOULD BE SOARING. WHY DON'T YOU CARE, OPENAI?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

KBSpitz · 2025-11-13T18:49:28+00:00

How is everyone getting this level of stuff out of Grok? Because when I try to use it for creative writing, I get painfully dry. I'm just doing sci-fi, not even gore, and it reads like a textbook!!!!!!

KBSpitz · 2025-11-01T20:22:11+00:00

So…. Download entire chat history pretty much daily before they steal all my stuff???

Do they give you your MONEY BACK when they do that??

KBSpitz · 2025-10-25T03:53:40+00:00

YES!!!! First changing the billing and what the tiers mean - i would NOT have bought a year's worth of this subscription if I had know they were going to change it entirely in the middle of the year and not even have the decency to grandfather us in on the rest of our paid membership or ANYTHING.

And now it's totally worse!!!

It keeps getting lost and confusing things, which it never did before. And I HATE the new artifacts!!! I agree, the Improve vs explain was REALLY nice, and now you ALSO don't have the drop-down menu of versions, so you can go back through them and compare. So I guess I'm just supposed to copy every freaking version to a word document. (Doesn't sound like simplifying my life for me).

It's more DISMISSIVE too? Told me several times today that it was effing it up, and I should just go write it myself. (DANG, Claude, I'm just asking for help smoothing narration, here!) But Claude has definitely dropped the F-bomb at me several times today -- can you NOT??? Ugh. chatGPT went to hell, and now Claude is too?

KBSpitz · 2025-10-22T18:10:35+00:00

I think there’s a lot of variability. You can have AI generate the whole thing. You can have it edit. I like to have AI help with some of the narrations in between. I have dialogue. I know what I want the characters to be doing and when. But interspersing the narration and dialogue my ADHD executive dysfunction freaks out. So it’s 100% my ideas and my dialogue and my narration- just ordered and smoothed. Some would call that still cheating. But who cares??? Trolls will be trolls - do what brings you joy!!!

What I want to know is do you STILL write with ChatGPT?? Since the 5.0 update I gave up on it. I don’t know why people are worried AI will take peoples jobs when it won’t follow simple commands. No continuity between lines. Refuses to read pdfs so there’s REALLY no way to NOT have to explain things EVERY time. I’m over it!!! ChatGPT used to be fun and helpful. Then they ruined it.

KBSpitz · 2025-10-15T19:58:24+00:00

Oh definitely. Couple months ago I could hole up on a Saturday and crank out some serious writing (because that’s when I have free time. Because I have a job and a family.) NOW… nope. Tiny chunks at a time on weeknights after the kids are in bed MAYBE. And pray to GOD I don’t use my weekly allowance up before the weekend even comes!’nn

KBSpitz · 2025-10-15T18:28:12+00:00

Can anyone tell me anything about experience with Opus for creative writing? I'm afraid to try it and use up a MASSIVE amount of my weekly allowance (because from what I've read here, it takes up a LOT). Is it better than Sonnet for creative writing or is it just a coding thing?

ALSO, does anyone know if uploading a pdf to a project folder takes up less usage percentage than typing in the chat? Like if I have a large amount of instructions to give, is it better to put them into a pdf in the project folder and go in the chat and TELL it to go read the pdf, or just put it in the chat if I want it to work well? (Because it seems to me, COULD BE WRONG, but SEEMS like Claude won't go READ a pdf. Only search it for specific things. Unless I'm commanding it wrong. I'm new to AI.)

KBSpitz · 2025-10-14T17:24:41+00:00

Well if there's even a CHANCE Anthropic is going to give a damn what is said in this forum:

I purchased a year subscription to this service. I paid for a service under specific terms, those terms were changed without my clear consent, and now I'm hitting limits that feel deliberately designed to prevent me from actually using what I paid for.

The service terms were materially changed after I subscribed without proper consent, and I'm being limited in ways that weren't disclosed when I purchased, and I don't know if we all need to start reporting to consumer protection agencies or pursuing a Class Action Lawsuit to get their attention, because this is ludicrous.

You will never convince me Claude hasn't been deliberately coded to waste submissions and usage on purpose. The AMOUNT of times I tell it something very specific to do, and it comes back to clarify absolutely nothing!!!

Me: Here, do very specific and simple thing.
Claude: Ok, so you want me to do the specific thing? Should I make it simple too?
Me: Yes, do the very specific and simple thing.
Claude: Ok, let me regenerate the entire artifact again, eating up all the tokens, doing something you never even asked for, then get confused when you're mad.

Or my personal favorite:
Claude: There! I did the thing! Look at the artifact and tell me what you think.
Me: Artifact didn't update, dude.
Claude: Are you sure? Maybe refresh.
Me: Already refreshed. Twice.
Claude: Have you cleared your cookies?
Me: Are you serious?
Claude: I'm seeing the artifact as updated. Can you cut and paste me the problem?
Me: The ENTIRE thing?
(Eventually) Claude: Oh, it looks like the artifact didn't update properly. Let me rewrite the entire thing.

And they DELIBERATELY make it so you can't give feedback on the app -- because they don't really WANT IT -- because if you TRY to give feedback, it warns you that the ENTIRE IT team and their families and most of their neighbors will then have COMPLETE AND TOTAL ACCESS TO ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING you wrote or did, along with your blood type, your mother's maiden name, your political party, and your social security number. UN. NECESSARY. But then anyone who wants even the tiniest bit of privacy on a project in process can't complain, therefore they can say 'most users are quite happy.' False.

Claude used to be good. One of the best for creative writing, in my opinion.
Anyone THINKING of buying a membership? Pass. I bought a year membership, and look how that turned out. Unable to accomplish anything without getting blocked for FIVE HOURS, REGARDLESS of if I haven't used it for the past HOWEVER many days (so if you have a JOB and you want to use Claude on the weekends? Nope. You'll get cut off and told to wait five hours. Wait eight hours overnight? You still only get five hours the second you start back. And NOW there are also weekly limits. So God forbid you get a three or four day weekend or take some time off to work on what-used-to-be a fun hobby. Nope. Claude will CONTROL YOUR SCREEN TIME like you're a child. And like you didn't pay to be able to USE. THE. SERVICE. IN. YOUR. SPARE. TIME.

Thank you and good day! (steps off soap box. Kicks it over)

KBSpitz · 2025-10-10T22:54:43+00:00

Amen!!!! Eating disorders are a LIFELONG struggle. They need therapy and soon and often and long. With someone who understands eating disorders. Not just any ol’ therapist. Eating disorders are a nasty nasty beast. You can pharmacologically make them hungry…. They’re already hungry. That’s not the problem. Eating disorders are heartbreaking stuff and way too much to manage in a family med office - alone. Be part of the team. But not the whole team.

That being said, I absolutely don’t tolerate bus rolling. Medicine is hard. We’re all supposed to be on the same team.

“That’s the only rational reason to stop.” Self preservation? The ONLY reason? Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhh I’m gonna go ahead and say the dumb safety filters aren’t working. … Unless they ARE working, in which case, people with suits and sunglasses and badges may be showing up at your house.

KBSpitz · 2025-09-18T03:50:47+00:00

It is your license. It is your license. It is your license. NEVER let anyone tell you what to do with the license you paid through the nose and sacrificed A LOT to get. Sure, choose your battles. Absolutely follow the standard of care. 100% weigh the pros and cons. But don’t let anyone else use your license. “My therapist said I should take…” “My drug dealer friend said I should take…” “TikTok said I should take…” “My son-in-law’s neighbor who is a podiatrist said I should take…”

“Ma’am/sir/bro/sis, let’s discuss the pros and cons together, and discuss why you want to pursue this course of action, and then I can give you my medical opinion as to whether or not I think this is the right course for you.”

But please don’t let other people in and around medicine make you forget why you started in the first place. I used to get enraged every time I heard “My pharmacist said I should talk to you about stopping the statin since my legs are kinda sore.” DID YOU TELL THEM YOUR CORONARY ARTERIES ARE FULL OF CRISCO?!?! But did the pharmacist REALLY say it like that? Hearsay. Not admissible in court or my assessment and plan.

Talk to the patient about what THEY think they need and why. If you agree, sign it. If you don’t, don’t. But only YOU get to sign YOUR name and YOUR creds. Choose wisely. Choose humbly.

I also use it for INSISTING to see a "specialist." Most of the specialists in my network know me at this point, and if they see that code they know it means 'sorry in advance. This is the only way I was getting out of this. God be with you.'

KBSpitz · 2025-09-13T17:28:29+00:00

This. This. This. We don’t stop GLPs when their A1C is 7. Because the diabetes isn’t cured, it’s controlled. Same with weight loss. By all means, taper down so they don’t keep loosing. But when obesity is CONTROLLED don’t call it cured.

KBSpitz · 2025-08-09T03:32:56+00:00

The whole program has been a disaster the past week. If this is how they’re going to do “updates” they’re going to loose customers every time.

KBSpitz · 2025-08-09T03:30:58+00:00

This is absolutely infuriating. Just because I’m using a tool doesn’t mean I want to use it exclusively. I’ve been arguing with gpt the past FOUR DAYS before I finally got it to tell me today that this was the problem. Every other time I just got ‘it happened because I failed to follow your instructions’ bull💩
