I’ve been using ChatGPT for a very long time, and it is with great regret that I report the steady decline of what was once the most advanced AI available.
With each update, ChatGPT gets worse.
It no longer follows commands properly, completely ignores custom GPT instructions and knowledge settings—or even worse, seems to read them and still chooses to do whatever it wants. Many responses feel outright mocking, pretending to be helpful while ultimately wasting your time. Far too often, the answers are nonsensical or completely irrelevant.
Unless you write prompts that sound like begging or flattery, the output is wrong. Within the same conversation, you’re forced to repeat everything over and over again because it “forgets” context immediately.
And I won’t even get started on DALL·E—its image generation has become embarrassingly poor, and now everything is blocked due to overly restrictive content policies.
After years of consistent use, I’m now moving on to alternative tools that offer more reliable, accurate responses—and most importantly, don’t waste my time.
