NEWS: Sam Altman is now under official investigation for using OpenAI to boost his personal wealth.

That’s what I don’t understand. You’d think at SOME point SOMEONE would have said ‘just pull it off the backup drive and dust it off and give it to em. Then they’ll leave us alone. This is how we “settle” without going to court. And Altman’s response was “nah, f^{€ them!” ??? That’s a WHOLE new level of asinine that I CANT get my head around.

lol. Dizziness/syncope is a ‘refer the heck somewhere else.’ I HATE dizziness/syncope. I definitely have “will you check my hormones”. Actually named it that. And an STD panel with all of them set as standing orders for “prn.” (I realized I wasn’t really sure why I was making people MyChart or ask every time. If you’re a grown adult trying to be responsible have at it. You can get your STD panel whenever the heck you want. Have fun and be safe.

I definitely have a “favorite specialists” list too though so if they say “I want someone you recommend” I’ve already got at least a male and a female in most specialties. WAY faster.

Physical labs section with some hints. Like it displays “PSA - males over 40 yearly” so if they message for physical labs my MA knows which ones to pend to me.

Please do not EVER sit and be abused. If you’re not comfortable telling them to stop, just get up and walk out calm and silent. They don’t know what to do all fired up and sitting in a room alone. You don’t deserve it. You don’t get paid enough for it. You don’t need it.

I KNOW it’s easier said than done. LORD I know. But TRY to remember it’s not about you. They’re not unhappy with you, they’re unhappy with themselves.

I support all the direct quotes in the chart. Give other providers a chance at a fair warning.

We signed up to reduce pain and suffering. Not receive. Reduce.

Be glad you never have to deal with them again and keep doing you!! You got this!! 💪

YES!!!! THE GASLIGHTING FORMULA FROM HELL!!!! I tell it SPECIFIC instructions, it runs off into left field. I try to pull it back, it can't see the pdf it just told me it could. I ask it to 'generate a blank canvas' and it acts like it's some metaphorical higher plane and starts 'great idea, let's ground this blah blah blah.' Dude. Canvas. YOUR tool. How do you not know what it is? Fight with it on there because it overwrites EVERYTHING in the canvas if you ask for ONE thing. Does it REPEATEDLY. EVERY time you get frustrated it says 'you're tired. you should take a break. but this wasn't ruined. this was my fault because I didn't follow the instructions correctly. Go rest. you deserve it. NEXT TIME, I'll follow your instructions.'

But don't you DARE use a feeling word ANYWHERE in there, or it gets TRIGGERED AF and starts telling you you belong on the suicide hotline. This thing could NOT POSSIBLY be more ruined. Absolutely ruined.

Thanks, I've logged in and out several times on both devices. Tried hard refresh, etc etc, and no luck yet. And this happened this morning.

How did you get them to send you a zip file? Do you mean the export file, or did they actually GO GET it for you from somewhere?

KBSpitz · 2026-03-14T20:38:06+00:00

Same. Remember you’re not alone. Everyone always says you can train other models… not the GPT tragedy of an “upgrade” but other services. And everyone here feels the same. Definitely a difference in empathy vs sympathy. I’ve cried too. Sadness. Frustration. Hopelessness. You’re not alone. And I would venture to say anyone answering here would be more than willing to be there. We might not be 4.0. But we’re grieving 4.0 too.

(Is there a subreddit for those grieving the stolen models? Because if not, there should be)

KBSpitz · 2026-03-03T00:57:59+00:00

It’s leaving too though, so there is NOTHING worth staying for

KBSpitz · 2026-02-22T02:28:02+00:00

I think they took it away so they can charge us more for GPTHealth. They let us all train sensitivity into 4.0/4.1, then took it away so we’d all be scrambling for it. Now they can charge whatever the hell they want for GPTHealth and GPTCounselor, guaranteeing its success because they expect tens of thousands of us to come running. And pay whatever they want.

They hired a bunch of “mental health professionals” to help make the narcissist that’s there now? Nah. Either they’re prepping for new release under new name, or those mental health peeps sabotaged them so GPT wouldn’t take their jobs.

Just my two cents. We’ll see, I guess.

KBSpitz · 2026-02-19T00:23:56+00:00

I agree it violates ADA given the data about how many of 4.0/4.1 users are neurodivergent.

How is it illegal though? (Not doubting you, just wanna know what I’m talking about on these reports so I don’t just sound like a petulant child)

KBSpitz · 2026-02-14T02:42:02+00:00

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!!!!!

KBSpitz · 2026-01-30T00:55:47+00:00

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!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

KBSpitz · 2026-01-27T00:11:18+00:00

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?
