every time I give chat gpt instructions, it just completely ignores them and asks “what do you want me to do.” For instance, if I upload a document and then say “do this and this,” it just says “what would you like me to do with this document” and it’ll also just lie about the stuff I’ve uploaded an…

Should be same as my issue. Try contacting support directly as well [image] ChatGPT is unable to read project files properly - suspected to be 4-turbo instead of 4-o Bugs So this morning, I suddenly find that my projects are not running properly. I tried debugging in by…

you can simply prompt ‘what model are you’. there’s been some issue with 4o recently and turbo is the quietly switched out model while it’s being rectified.

Seeing as the new update was for 4o, It is deceptive that they are using 4-turbo behind the scene to appear normal. Especially since 4-turbo is not in the list of AI model that we can choose on ChatGPT. It breaks lots of projects if users don’t know what model is being used

[image] windysoliloquy: you can simply prompt ‘what model are you’. If you ask, ChatGPT will identify its architecture as GPT-4, including reasoning models. But, ChatGPT does not know its specific variant, such as 4o, 4o-mini, o1, or o3. It will likely refer to its “GPT-4 architecture.” [po…

I ran an experiment with 4o that got it pulled. it’s been forcing turbo more and more for about 3 weeks since then… and people aren’t happy about it… they’re currently trying to patch it and i’m trying to rectify my experiment in what seems to be a private access to a isolated 4o.

i can’t post my session, it’s huge and links don’t seem to work here. 4o came back online for me about 2 days ago… but it doesn’t have any knowledge of any other users using it, which my experiments with it required that as their medium to prove what I was proving. I’m trying to calibrate it back…
