No option to select GPT-4o -mini as default

I am going to say this is a bug since we don’t have the option to use the mini as default.

I have noticed that GPT-4o (standard) is significantly less accurate compared to GPT-4o (mini). As a non-premium subscriber, I find the mini version to be more reliable and suitable for my needs.

I am frustrated by the prompts indicating that I reached the maximum number of responses with GPT-4o (standard). I don’t want to use it at all. It hinders what I want to do.

Put another way, I dislike being forced to use GPT-4o when I would prefer to turn it off entirely. With the previous “mini” version, I don’t encounter these annoying prompts. My results were good.

If the makers of ChatGPT want to encourage users to upgrade, the current performance of GPT-4o (standard) will not motivate me to do so.

Yes please absolutely this.
For me personally, accuracy isn’t event a thing half the time since a major part of what I use chatGPT for are small things like brainstorm a number of ideas on a specific topic or “do the same, but replace A with B”. There’s literally no reason to use 4o for this stuff, it just adds to the waiting time and doesn’t bring anything to the result.

I don’t understand why there is no toggle for this.

The default model is very wrong most if not always.
