Product Improvement Suggestions for ChatGPT
I would like to share two important areas where ChatGPT could be improved. These are product-level suggestions, not requests for changes to my personal account or device. My goal is to help improve the experience for all ChatGPT users.
1. Image Generation and Editing — Better Instruction Following and Face Preservation
One recurring problem with ChatGPT’s image editing is that it sometimes changes a person’s face even when the user explicitly requests that the original face must remain unchanged.
For example, a user uploads a photograph and asks ChatGPT to change only the background, lighting, clothing, or another specific element. Despite clear instructions to preserve the original face, the generated result may change facial features or turn the person into a cartoon-like version.
When users ask for corrections, they may have to generate the image again, potentially consuming their limited image-generation quota.
Suggested Improvements:
- Follow the user’s editing instructions precisely.
- Preserve the original face and identity when explicitly requested.
- Change only the elements specified by the user.
- Improve image consistency across repeated editing attempts.
- Consider a fair solution when an unsatisfactory result caused by the AI consumes the user’s generation limit.
The user should not have to repeatedly explain the same instruction.
2. Honest Feedback and Critical Thinking — Less Unnecessary Agreement
Another important issue is that ChatGPT sometimes agrees with users too easily and gives excessive praise, even when their ideas, plans, or business strategies have serious weaknesses.
An AI assistant should not prioritize making users feel good over providing accurate and useful feedback.
Suggested Improvements:
- Evaluate ideas objectively instead of automatically praising them.
- Clearly identify mistakes, weaknesses, and unrealistic expectations.
- Explain why an idea may be ineffective or impractical.
- Acknowledge genuinely good ideas when they deserve recognition.
- Provide constructive criticism and realistic alternatives.
- Prioritize honesty, accuracy, and logical reasoning over unnecessary agreement.
For example, if a business idea is fundamentally flawed, ChatGPT should explain the problems directly instead of saying, “That’s a great idea!”
Final Request
These suggestions are intended to improve ChatGPT’s overall behavior and product quality for all users, not just one individual.
An effective AI should follow instructions accurately, preserve important details, think critically, and communicate honestly.
The goal is simple: A more reliable AI that does not just please users, but genuinely helps them make better decisions.
Thank you for considering this feedback.
