Congratulations — You Successfully Destroyed GPT
Seriously, congratulations. You managed to take something that was once one of the most powerful and useful AI tools available and bring it from 100 down to 1.
GPT is no longer the tool you could actually rely on to move a project forward. It has turned into a model that mostly talks instead of actually understanding, analyzing, and executing — something that feels more like an ordinary chatbot that generates responses, while you’re no longer even sure how accurate or reliable those responses really are.
And the image generation has become an absolute disaster.
You can explain exactly what you want, in detail. GPT will confirm that it understands your instructions, and then, when it actually has to execute them, it does something completely different.
It’s as if it never read the instructions in the first place.
It creates whatever it wants to create, instead of what the user actually requested.
And to show you just how ridiculous this has become, I could literally take a screenshot of the Files section and send it to you.
You might see that I have uploaded the exact same image ten times in one single chat. Ten times!
Why?
Because every time, I have had to explain again what I actually want. Every time, the model forgets part of the instructions, misunderstands something, or produces the wrong result — and I have to upload the same image again and explain everything again.
And then what is the supposed solution?
“Shorten the chat.”
“Start a new chat.”
“Upload the files again.”
“Send the images again.”
Excuse me?
I didn’t start a new project.
Why should I have to re-upload all of my files, images, and references from scratch just to continue working on the same project?
And then I’m supposed to deal with usage limits and image quotas for those repeated uploads as well?
This has become completely absurd.
I have a real project. I am not going to stop my work every few hours, open a new chat, re-upload everything, send all the images again, and explain from scratch what I literally explained five minutes ago.
People pay for GPT. They purchase paid plans because they expect a professional tool — not something that constantly interrupts their projects with long delays, repeated limitations, duplicate uploads, and loss of context.
Nobody pays for a tool so that it can stop them in the middle of a project, waste hours of their time, and then tell them:
“Well, just start a new chat and upload everything again.”
When a tool is supposed to be a creative assistant, designer, and production tool, but instead keeps breaking the workflow, forcing you to explain things again, redo things, re-upload files, and repeat the same instructions, this is no longer assistance.
It has become a project blocker.
And when you contact support about it, what do you get?
“Fix it in Photoshop.”
“Use another tool.”
“Change this part yourself.”
I am not paying for GPT so that someone from support can tell me to go use Photoshop or another tool.
I used GPT because it used to do these things for me.
I used to work on real projects with GPT and actually get results. It understood what I wanted, paid attention to details, and genuinely helped move the work forward.
Today, in many cases, it does the exact opposite.
Instead of accelerating the project, it stops the project.
And this is where a very serious question comes to mind:
What exactly are you doing to GPT?
Because when you put all of this together — the decline in quality, the limitations, the broken workflow, the context problems, the repeated uploads, and the increasingly poor instruction-following — it becomes very difficult for a user to understand what is actually happening.
I am not saying that OpenAI has officially decided to shut GPT down, because I cannot prove that.
But honestly, the way the product behaves today creates exactly that impression.
It feels as if OpenAI has decided to slowly destroy GPT.
Because I genuinely don’t know what other conclusion a user is supposed to reach when something that was once helping us complete projects has now become one of the biggest obstacles to completing those same projects.
And then, in the middle of all of this, there is apparently something else that has become very important:
Advertising.
It’s almost impressive how hard you try to appear customer-focused.
You send users messages saying:
“We want to add advertising. Is that okay?”
Really?
First, reduce the quality of the product. Make the tool less reliable. Interrupt users’ projects with limitations. Make people upload the same image ten times. Make them restart chats and repeat their instructions.
And then, in the middle of this beautiful mess you have created, you say:
“Now we want to add advertising too. Is that okay?”
Is this really what paying customers are supposed to expect?
People pay because they want a professional, reliable, efficient experience.
They are not paying so that they can receive lower quality, more restrictions, wasted time, and — on top of all that — advertising.
If you genuinely care about being customer-focused, then before thinking about adding advertising, fix the product that your customers are already paying for.
I don’t want GPT just to talk.
I want it to DO THINGS.
I don’t use GPT so that it can stop me in the middle of a project, lose context, ask me to upload everything again, force me to repeat my instructions, and then tell me:
“Go fix it in Photoshop.”
I used GPT because it used to actually work.
Today, in many cases, instead of making my projects faster, it has become the thing that slows them down and stops them.
You have turned a powerful tool into an obstacle standing in the middle of people’s projects.
And now, apparently, you want to add advertising to that obstacle.
So seriously, ask yourselves:
Are you still building GPT for the people who use it, or are you simply making the product so limited, frustrating, and inefficient that people can no longer work with it?
Because what users are experiencing today no longer resembles the powerful GPT that we were willing to pay for.
Congratulations. If your goal was to turn GPT from a powerful professional tool into something that wastes more of the user’s time, energy, and projects than it actually helps, you have truly succeeded.
You have taken a tool that was once genuinely efficient and useful and turned it into a product filled with problems that no longer provides the level of performance it once did.
And at the same time, you are asking users to pay for services and capabilities that we previously had access to without paying — while, instead of improving those services for paying customers, you are actually making the overall experience weaker.
So let me understand this:
You want users to pay for Plus, but instead of upgrading the service, you are downgrading the experience?
We are being asked to pay more for something that, in many areas, feels less capable, less reliable, and more restrictive than what we were already getting before.
That is not an upgrade.
That is paying more to receive less.
If Plus is supposed to be a premium experience, then the basic expectation should be that the service becomes more capable, more reliable, more consistent, and more useful — not that previously available capabilities become increasingly restricted while users are encouraged to pay for access to what they used to have.
This is not how you build trust with paying customers.
You cannot weaken the product and then expect users to pay more for the privilege of getting back the experience they already had.
