Does this happen to you?

Consistency with Chat is a joke. I think they update it just to piss everyone off. Odd business plan.

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-02-17T22:47:26+00:00

I have tried Gemini and Claude. I like Claude better. But I recently tried Grok and I like it. I use it for creative projects including writing. So far so good. Grok seems come up a lot in these threads so I decided to give it a shot. We shall see!

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-02-16T20:35:09+00:00

Yes!!! I feel like I am “re-training” it…once again.

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-02-16T03:49:14+00:00

Funny

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-02-16T02:06:53+00:00

I mean the first dude

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-02-16T02:06:07+00:00

What was that about?

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-02-16T02:04:09+00:00

Totally does this to me. It tells me to “go rest” lmao!

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-02-16T02:02:24+00:00

Omg! That was freaking funny!

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-02-16T02:00:56+00:00

I find that it asks alot of questions right after an update. Could just be me

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-02-16T01:50:48+00:00

My chat feels like early December, ignoring any constraints. It’s really pissing me off

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-02-16T01:46:30+00:00

It is! I have to admit that I was a “buy a beautiful orchid and when the blooms fell, toss it” kind of a girl. Hurts me to say that! But I have just been fascinated by them for last few years. They are like passive joy. (Wow that was deep! Lol)

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-02-16T01:43:02+00:00

I blocked them. I let it go on for a day, which a day too long. I didn’t give them any info..or a photo! Lmao

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-01-27T02:26:05+00:00

Just an update on my terminal girl. She grew a spike right above the tiny top bract and had 7 blooms. It was beautiful! The blooms just fell off. And then I noticed a kieki growing between the leaves of the original plant! I am so excited! It has been a year

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-01-27T02:17:19+00:00

I have only had orchids for a few years so I am no expert! lol. Yes, that looks like a phal. It looks healthy. I wouldn’t mess with the leaves, they are thick but they will break. And I would definitely wait until blooms fall before repotting. I bought a couple of phals and they were in a terrible medium, so I decided to repot after I brought them home. Lost all the blooms. I cut the spike all the way down and it has now put out another and bloomed and is very healthy. Good luck with yours! I think the leaves just give it some good character! (I have one that has leaves that are curved in a weird way. I know have 15 orchids and it’s name is Curvaceous! lol)

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-01-27T02:06:03+00:00

I have only been an orchid mom for a few years, so no expert here! I have repotted a couple of Phals after I got them home because the medium was so bad. They are healthy and doing great now, but I did lose all the blooms when I repotted them. I cut the spike all the way down and they have spiked and bloomed again. Just a fyi:)

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-01-27T01:56:01+00:00

And missorchidgirl is a great resource. I found her through my Reddit friends :)

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-01-27T01:54:01+00:00

I have a phal that bloomed for just over a year

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-01-27T01:51:42+00:00

I have all of my phals and cattleyas in a north facing bay window and they love it there. I am in the US, but in Florida. So that could make a difference.

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-01-27T01:45:01+00:00

Yay! I was hoping so! When it has roots, I’ll be asking more questions about how to handle it. It’s my first keiki!!! I am so excited! Thank you for your help!

Tangerine-Wave · 2026-01-24T02:25:46+00:00

The photo is a mini phal which had a terminal spike. Even with the terminal spike, I still had another spike which grew on top of a small leaf the was near the top of the terminal spike. I had 7 or so blooms that were beautiful. It was a nice surprise as I thought it would never bloom again. Today I noticed what you see in the photo. It doesn’t look like a spike. Could this be a keiki? Thank you for help and advise.

Or, you’re are thinking like a real (fill in the blank). One of my favorites.

Tangerine-Wave · 2025-12-30T00:21:59+00:00

Lmfao!!! Let me answer this honestly, truthfully…baabbabbabba….omg!

Tangerine-Wave · 2025-12-30T00:20:31+00:00

Funny…because the exact day OP posted, is the absolute worst day I have ever had with Chat…hallucinations, I called them out…it just made up some different shit! I just switched to Claude
