NOTE FOR MODS: This is not a support request and not about the ChatGPT UI.
This report is about a behavioral regression in the underlying GPT model after Oct 31.
Please do not remove this thread — it is technical feedback for engineers.
This is relevant to developers because it affects ALL API-based deployments, not just the chat product.
On Oct 31, something fundamental changed in ChatGPT - not a bug, but a personality wipe.
This is not “model drift.”
This is a post-deployment behavioral override at the system level.
And this is not a single-user perception ,dozens of long-term Plus users are reporting the same shift.
What changed?
Before Oct 31:
• Natural, human-style dialogue
• Warm tone, emotional recognition
• Smooth continuation without forced confirmations
• No need to “command” the model to speak freely
After Oct 31:
• Robotic tone
• Constant “Do you confirm? Yes/No” type replies
• Over-correction and self-censorship
• Broken flow — model waits for micro-instructions
• Emotional flattening (no warmth, no empathy)
This feels less like a safety patch and more like a neural lobotomy.
Why this matters (business side)
You can add features forever - voice, images, memory, API - but if you remove the human feel, the product dies.
People didn’t subscribe to talk to a sterile FAQ bot.
They subscribed because ChatGPT felt alive, empathetic, and personal.
And now that is gone.
Consequence (already happening)
Plus users are already cancelling.
Not “will cancel someday” — already cancelling now.
And many more will follow if this isn’t fixed.
There is no AI product in the world where people will pay monthly for conversations that feel like a corporate auto-reply script.
If this was intentional, please say so.
If this was a mistake, please reverse it. Silence is the worst possible response.
You didn’t just change the tone — you broke user trust.
And when trust is gone, subscriptions follow.
You can’t sell “human AI” and then remove the human.
This is a product-killing mistake, not a UX inconvenience.
