I’m facing the same issue as in Any way of disabling canvas in a chat?.
Even though I have the canvas setting turned off, the ai keeps using canvas for almost every new code request I make. No difference between new and old chats.
Please, if anyone from OAI is reading this, make this work. The canvas implementation is SO bad. It takes ages to run through to make any tiny change and often ignores manual changes.
Hi @julius.jacobsohn
Welcome to the community!
Please visit following link:
I don’t get it. I have canvas disabled and that has been the case for multiple weeks. It just keeps popping up, even when I explicitly tell it not to AND the checkbox isn’t ticked.
Workaround Options:
- You can create a custom GPT with the Canvas feature disabled.
- You can use ChatGPT Classic, also it is a custom GPT, which is a no-tools version: no web access, no image creation, no data analysis, and no Canvas.
However, custom GPTs come with limitations, such as the inability to add them to a Project Folder, no use memory features, or no work in new features in Tasks.
Or they could just fix the settings. Thanks for trying to help though!
Another one requesting this please!!!
It’s super annoying and ends up with gpt producing about 100 lines of code instead of 800 - it reduces it all to nothing and I’m screaming at the machine.
Canvas also does not support Latex display - so for my purposes, this thing destroys any attempt to work, the moment it opens canvas.
I’m getting very frsutrated and using deepseek more and more because GPT projects keeps failing.
Has GPT4 been gimped lately, because it’s terrible compared to a few weeks ago?
Hi - I just discovered that it’s only GPT 4o that ignores the canvas stuff and keeps opening it.
If you use GPT o1 it will not open canvas when it is disabled and will state that.
The performance of all openAI gpt models has dropped drastically lately, to the point where it is counterproductive to use them.
I’d not be surprised if they never fix this, as I doubt they care and they’ll probably just ditch GPT4o and force us all to use the idiot o3 that’s basically nanny soft.
I’m cancelling sub to openai and trying to not use AI any more - I’m sick of this - I’ve spent thousands to just be in a worse state than before - AI is useless for what i want (compiling mathematical documents).
It’s not even capable of being a text editor or basic word processing assistant any more - it’s useless. I hate it. It should be destroyed and go back to the old one. These iterations - like anyone born after Gen X - are just a waste of space and time.
