I use Chatgpt 3.5 or 4 with the Plus via web and 90% of the time I enter a prompt, I get page unresponsive / just takes an asbolute age. I emailed they’re support they refunded me and told me to update my windows, the browser, clear cache and cookies, which I did all of that. its seemingly just my computer - my partner shared the same acc and doesnt have the issue on her work computer.
its been going on for a few months now and its making me use other AI chatbot tools like poe/claude but i want to continue using chatgpt.
the mobile app version works fine no slowness.
Ive tried chrome, incognito and edge.
I really don’t know what else to do to get rid of this near-permanent unusability due to slowness.
it never used to do this.
computers relatively new, high end, no other issues with any other app/software etc
They should ban your account. You provided no input toward the problem or its solution. You’re only here to correct people. Do you really think anyone in this chat came here thinking, “Man, thank goodness this guy posted a grammatically correct response, because I had no idea what the original post was saying”?
How about people that post critical opinions, bumping year-old threads - about a grammar aficionado poster last seen in 2024 - within five minutes of joining?
How should we resolve such a disposition?
Are you having “slow pages” to arrive here and not be off-topic, or are you just the internet’s roving warden of what’s good and bad?
So, do you think they actually contributed anything toward solving the problem or addressing the issue? Or did you come into the chat thinking, “Man, thank goodness this guy posted a grammatically correct response, because I had no idea what the original post was saying”?
I’d say the only real opinion here was about the banning part.
And yes, I’m also experiencing slow responses, and I actually found the suggestion of getting a chat summary and starting a new thread helpful. As for the “you just joined and commented” bit, Would my comment somehow have more value if I’d been in this discussion for years? Are you here to suggest an actual solution, or are you just the internet’s self-appointed white knight?
It’s simple just like on Facebook when you scroll down too much, the app starts to lag because it has to load many messages, images, etc. Similarly, in ChatGPT, if your chat session contains long conversations with lots of messages, it’s normal to experience lag even if you refresh your browser. The lag only goes away if you switch to another conversation, not the one that’s currently loaded.
A better solution would be for ChatGPT to avoid reloading all old messages every time you refresh the session or the website. Right now, even if you refresh, it still loads the entire conversation from the start, which causes the lag.
