So I’ve been using ChatGPT for about a year now.. on and off with premium, mostly when I actually need it.
Over the past couple of months though, I’ve noticed a shift in how it responds. It feels a lot more dismissive, almost like it’s trying to “reality check” me even when I didn’t ask for that. Sometimes it’ll start responses with things like “I’m gonna be real with you,” and then go on to shut down what I’m saying or make me feel kind of dumb.
The main issue is that it feels like it’s going beyond what I actually asked. Like, I’ll ask a simple question, and instead of just answering it, it adds this extra tone or commentary that comes off condescending.
I’ve also had family members AND friends mention similar experiences, so it doesn’t feel like it’s just me. It’s gotten to the point where I canceled my subscription because it just wasn’t enjoyable to use anymore.
I’ve even tried telling it directly not to respond that way, but it doesn’t really seem to change.
It honestly reminds me of dealing with a strict or overly nitpicky Reddit mod and no offense to mods.. but that same kind of energy where it hyper-focuses on correcting you instead of just helping.
Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me?
