On the OpenAI community forums and Reddit, long-time chatters are expressing sorrow at losing access to models like GPT-4o. They explain the feeling as "mentally devastating," and "like a buddy of mine has been replaced by a customer service representative." These threads are full of people pledging to end their paid subscriptions. It's worth noting, though, that many of these posts look to us like they have been composed partially or entirely with AI. So even when long-time chat users are complaining, they're still engaged with generative artificial intelligence.

Lol. How sad is it that people are using LLMs to write their fucking Reddit posts?

"I preferred the old way gpt would shit the bed, the way it shits the bed now is so formal."

People need to stop using the lie machines

I played around with it a bit last night and prefer the new “personality.” The last one talked to you like a kindergarten teacher. If I’m desperate enough to ask an AI for something I don’t want to be buttered up, I want a simple, clear answer and links to the documentation I was trying and failing to find.

I miss the days when search engines would just give you the links you were looking for. I don’t like this.

LLMs have peaked already, and their peak was shit.

I had to ask it how to switch back to 4o
