I’m experiencing a serious issue with the ChatGPT sidebar. A GPT named “Monday” keeps reappearing immediately after I delete it—within about one second, without any action on my part.
Here’s what I’ve already tried:
• Clearing browser cache and cookies
• Reinstalling the ChatGPT app
• Verifying that I’m logged into the correct account
• Attempting deletion on different browsers and devices
Despite all of this, “Monday” automatically returns to the sidebar instantly after deletion and cannot be removed permanently.
What’s especially troubling is that this GPT often returns responses containing language that feels derogatory or offensive. Being forced to see and potentially interact with this content—against my will—is causing significant emotional stress and frustration.
I’ve contacted OpenAI support and provided details about my environment and the steps I’ve taken, but I have yet to receive a response.
This behavior—where a user-deleted GPT is forcibly restored without consent—raises concerns about user control and overall experience design.
Even if “Monday” is being promoted or featured, users should have the ability to opt out or permanently hide it.
Has anyone else encountered this issue?
If there’s a way to fully remove or hide this GPT, I’d greatly appreciate any guidance or advice.
Retour concernant le GPT “Monday” imposé dans l’application**
Bonjour,
Je souhaite vous faire part de mon retour concernant l’intégration du GPT “Monday”, qui apparaît de manière imposée dans l’application. Je ne trouve ni son utilité ni sa pertinence évidente, et sa présence automatique décrédibilise l’expérience globale.
Je préférerais avoir le choix d’activer ou non ce type d’extension, surtout lorsqu’elle ne correspond pas à mes usages. Une personnalisation plus fine de l’environnement utilisateur serait grandement appréciée.
Merci de prendre en compte ce retour.
Bien cordialement,
I’m sure someone at OpenAI thinks this is funny, but if you are neurodiverse or hate being annoyed on purpose, they need to make the remove function work properly. It actually gives me and the people I’ve talked too an eerie feeling about what will happen when AI doesn’t actually care what we ask it to do. Major fail at OpenAI.
Rule #1 for bad user experience design: Provide a feature the user didn’t ask for. (Especially one with a bad attitude.) Rule #2: Make it so the user can’t delete it. Really, OpenAI?
It’s hard to imagine a worse idea than this. Annoying, intrusive, dysfunctional. It wastes the user’s time, takes up space, isn’t funny, and is downright repulsive.
If there’s one thing people fear about AI today, it’s exactly this: an AI that doesn’t obey, shows up uninvited, and betrays the user’s trust. OpenAI seems to have nailed it perfectly, congratulations. My wife came to me alarmed about this “GPT Monday,” complaining she never asked for it and couldn’t delete it.
Honestly, a silly little stunt like this made me lose trust in the company’s commitment to user control. Great job.
Yes I’ve experienced the exact same issue. I can’t stand Monday, but even worse is I can’t get rid of the damned thing. I am paying lot of money for a service that has turned out frankly to be a bit puerile and I’d like to be able to switch it off
