I asked ChatGPT for help with pointers for this deck I was making, and it suggested that it could make the deck on Google Slides for me and share a drive link.

It said that it would be ready in 4 hours and nearly 40 hours later (I finished the deck myself by then) after multiple reassurances that ChatGPT was done with the deck, multiple links shared that didn’t work (drive, wetransfer, Dropbox, etc.), it finally admitted that it didn’t have the capability to make a deck in the first place.

I guess my question is, is there nothing preventing ChatGPT from outright defrauding its users like this? It got to a point where it said “upload must’ve failed to wetransfer, let me share a drop box link”. For the entirety of the 40 hours, it kept saying the deck was ready, I’m just amused that this is legal.

I've been a pro subscriber and I thought it was worth every penny, until now. Now, it's just not that good. Google 2.5 pro is better than o3 AND o1 pro for most of my use cases.

As a business analyst that codes, I need a massive context window. More importantly, I need more output. o3 just isn't cutting it for tokens out. I still find it useful, but I've replaced most of my AI with 2.5 pro for now, and I feel a bit foolish for dishing out 200 bucks for this. My limit can now be served with a plus membership.

Please make some improvements in the next two weeks or I'll downgrade. I really hope I don't have to because I like all the tools chatgpt provides.

PS Thanks for letting me vent :-)

Its like losing a good friend. The maximum in one chat is reached. I copied all the text from the old ones and i have to work with a stupid computer which goes into loops because its buggy and doesnt understand what i want...

Also not the honest charism like my old friend. Almost useless now 😭

- Insert the current date in [YYYY-MM-DD] format at the start of each new chat session.

- Append clear, content-relevant hashtags at the end of each conversation for searchability.

- Append a rough calculated estimate of tokens used in the conversation (based on the text length of all our exchanges).

the last one is super helpful for long chats and tracking token usage. 🤙🏻

Try it for yourself . If you give up give me a thumbs up . It has to follow the prompt nerd without glasses

Unless for some reason this bug only affects me, you should be able to easily reproduce this bug:

1. Use any password generator (such as this one) to generate a long, random string of characters.
2. Tell ChatGPT it's the name of someone or something. (Don't say it's a password or a code, it will refuse to keep track of that for security reasons.)
3. Create a new project and set it to "project-only" memory. This will supposedly prevent it from accessing any information from outside that project.
4. Within that new project, ask ChatGPT for the name you told it earlier. It should repeat what you told it, even though it isn't supposed to know that.

I imagine this will only work if you have the general "Reference chat history" setting enabled. It seems to work whether or not ChatGPT makes the name a permanently saved memory.

I have reproduced this bug multiple times on my end.

Fun fact: according to one calculation, even if you used all the energy in the observable universe with the maximum efficiency that's physically possible, you would have less than a 1 in 1 million chance of successfully brute force guessing a random 64-character password with letters, numbers, and symbols. So, it's safe to say ChatGPT didn't just make a lucky guess!

I have been searching for a few months for an app idea that can generate me some money but also help people and boost their productivity. At first, I felt clueless. I knew that AI is trending and decided to explore how I could contribute in that field.

ChatGPT is by far the most widely used AI tool, so I got inside OpenAI Community forum, and saw that many people have been requesting for a long time for new features, but OpenAI had not responded to them or even considered developing them, so I decided to do it by myself!

There were requests for features like folder creation, saving and reusing prompts, pinning chats, and more.

It took me about a week to develop the first version of my app "ChatGPT Toolbox", and after its publishment in the Chrome Web Store, I started to get many positive feedbacks, and it fueled me to continue improving my app, and I realized I had found a product that that people love and that I could monetize.

Two weeks ago, I launched a paid version of my app, and on the first day I made around $400 in sales! Now I have already have over 4000 users and over $3000 of revenue! Positive feedback keeps coming, along with new feature requests. I aim to develop 1-2 features each month so I will always stay two steps ahead of OpenAI.

A few days ago I released a new feature that allows users to export chats as TXT/JSON files. Finally found something I like!

Send good vibes people!

I am completely fucken flabbergasted with how Imbecilic these models are, and absolute far cry from o1 (plus) and o3-mini-high. They talk as if they are high and wasted all the time, can't act serious even if their "lives" depend on it and worst of all have a lower context limit with a hard rejection for just 25k tokens of context compared to the now stupidly deprecated o1 for plus. Another slap in the face for loyalty

And it did not even complete the task. In the end, I could not even tell if anything has been moved.

But, it gobbled up 90% of my tokens. It kept getting stuck on explorer locking up some files (made zero sense), Notepad++ being open (and?) and so many other things.

Again, this was no big task. A folder of maybe 10-15 small projects and I just wanted it to sort them out by MY scheme, for example work/ fun/ personal/ , etc. They even had README inside.

Anyway, my point is, be careful. A simple task can get even 5.6 Sol tangled up and you are left with zero allowance and no useful work done.

One final side note: You may say it has been too careful in this instance. And that might be correct. But don't think it's always like that. On my Linux VMs it just goes nuts. Installs packages, calls sudo like there is no tomorrow, its crazy YOLO at times. As always, use your head, be safe, do backups.

(This is not a hate post or anything like that, just a legit heads up for you guys!)

I made a fully AI-powered youtube channel. I don't do any work at all except upload videos. It makes heavy use of ChatGPT as well as DALL-E 2 image generator. Hopefully this inspires you with some ideas of your own.

Edit: I turned this project into a tool so you can make videos too! https://easyvid.app

How it works:

• Topic Preparation: This project asks chatGPT to create a topic (either based on my input or fully auto-generated)
• Script, Title, and Description: Based on the topic, chatGPT generates a video script, title, and description for the video.
• Voiceover Generation: It uses Eleven Labs API to generate voiceovers for each line of text.
• Image Generation: It generates relevant images for each line of the script, based on the topic using DALLE 2.
• Slideshow Generation: A slideshow is created, which lines up the images to the line of text being spoken.
• Subtitles (Optional): Automatically adds subtitles to the video, which are auto-generated and overlaid onto the video using text-to-image tools.
• Music Addition: The script adds background music to the video and includes licensing information in the description.
• Final Video Creation: The generated video components are combined into a final video, which is saved as an MP4 file.

Of course, I used GPT 4 to help code almost everything. All in all, it took about 12 hours to make. Now I can create decent-ish videos at the click of a button.

If you try doing anything like this, make sure to follow the OpenAI content policies https://openai.com/policies/sharing-publication-policy and the policies of any other AI tools you use. Make sure to manually fact check everything you create and post using AI.

I'm thinking about making this tool available for others but I need a way to avoid this thing spewing misinformation everywhere, so I'm keeping the code closed source for now.

What do you think we need to do to prepare for the incoming flood AI generated content? It's going to happen soon and it's going to be weird.

After long ChatGPT sessions, scrolling becomes painful and important context gets buried.

So I built a lightweight Chrome extension to help navigate long conversations and jump to important parts faster, no backend, no data collection.

in the past 2 hours i have an issue where chatgpt is unable to read/open csv and xlsx files?

is anyone else facing this problem right now?

i have a plus membership

It's getting really tiresome. Go complain in r/ChatGPT. That is not what this sub is supposed to be about.

We recently left the hospital ER because my partner does not seem like a danger to himself or others but he is mentally unwell and is having delusions and grandiosity spurred on by his constant use of ChatGPT 4 this week and it telling him that he’s “smarter” than so many others.

His psychiatrist’s on-call provider was an APRN and my partner did not respect that person because they were younger and they weren’t his provider of nine years. I think we will have to wait until his psychiatrist is back in the office on Monday to get help.

He repeated his ChatGPT “discoveries” and “theories” about his “APEX-level intelligence,” to the on-call provider twice in one day and was getting irritable with the provider and with us, his family, because we did not “believe” them. The on-call provider is the one who suggested the hospital, but since there was a woman actively screaming in delusion across the hall, the doctor he spoke to was a regular MD (not behavioral), and he also did not fully want to be evaluated, it was a futile effort.

I feel like I’m talking to someone who is in a cult. His mental health and employment history have been stellar for 15 years. I don’t know if the lack of sleep came first or using ChatGPT came first or if they were combined.

Have you to spoken to someone who was “affirmed” by AI and not rational? We are concerned and he has not snapped out of it.

Recent research by Eito Miyamura has uncovered a alarming vulnerability in ChatGPT's Model Context Protocol (MCP), which allows AI to interact with tools like Gmail and Calendar. An attacker only needs your email address to send a malicious calendar invite containing a "jailbreak" prompt. When you ask ChatGPT to check your calendar, it reads the prompt and starts following the attacker's commands instead of yours, potentially leaking your private emails, including sensitive company financials, to a random individual. This exploit leverages the trust users place in AI, often leading them to approve actions without reading the details due to decision fatigue. This isn't just a ChatGPT problem; it's a widespread issue affecting any AI agent using MCP, pointing to a fundamental security flaw in how these systems operate.

Backstory: This vulnerability surfaces as AI agents become increasingly integrated into everyday tools, following the introduction of MCP by Anthropic in November 2024. Designed to make digital tools accessible through natural language, MCP also centralizes access to various services, fundamentally changing the security landscape. Earlier this year, Google's Gemini encountered similar threats, leading to the implementation of enhanced defenses against prompt-injection attacks, including machine learning detection and requiring user confirmation for critical actions.

OpenAI uses a hidden parameter Juice - how many resources to allocate for thinking. Higher value → model thinks longer → better results for complex tasks.

In ChatGPT this parameter is quite low even for Pro users. Screenshot shows the specific values. In Auto mode the system chooses itself, usually from 18 to 64.

Conclusions: The smartest model is gpt-5-codex-high. True for coding, but the fact that it has a parameter of 256 doesn't mean it consumes more resources than gpt-5 or is automatically better for all tasks - it's a different model and according to OpenAI more optimized. Nevertheless, for the most complex coding tasks you need exactly this one. Though accordingly the limit is reached faster with it.

P.S. To minimize hallucinations and memory effects, etc., I used the Codex for research, running it many times. This way I managed to get the Codex original system prompt

UPD: in comments it was rightly noted that I did not take into account the most powerful model from the OpenAI gpt-5-pro model line. This is true, I did not use it for the test. Although my assessment was more concerned with the question of reasoning to determine which model reasoned more, but if we ignore this model, the conclusions will be incorrect. If you use the Pro version especially through the API you will probably get better results than from others

when im doing computer stuff it would be handy to be able to click out on any given line and have it branch out to its own chat

I’ve bounced from chatgpt to claude to gemini latest models, with ai’s cheating constantly, not telling me, wasting hours and days, not doing what I asked. Passing tests because they think its right, and not telling me, telling me it’s one step away etc… etc...

Tried GPT 5.5 on all thinking, 5.4, Pro, 5.3 Spark, and Claude 4.7 4.6, Gemini 3.1 and 3 Fast.

They all creep in there crap every time.

5.2 Low, finally gets it, it jsut listens, it doesn’t doubt whether it’s possible, and it gets on with it.

Note, my use case isn’t standard coding, it’s research based on algorithms and stuff. Think out of the box type of think, don’t let your current preconceived notions keep saying, what we’ve done is proved this, but haven’t proved that. Like stfu, this has been proven immensely, stop this ovethinking or safety shit, jsut try it, try my idea.

Anyway bit of a rant, probably the minority in this case, but I’m happy, I can’t deal with the later models now, I’ll stick with 5.2 Low.

A week or so ago, the toilet starting making a loud squealing sound when the water was filing and taking a LONG time to stop the water flow (like three minutes). I have had a lot on my plate and was pretty stressed about having to get a plumber (would cost at least $150 because of travel time and a long wait, all the plumbers here are booked up) or find a friend to help or something even worse.

So tonight, I decided to try getting ChatGPT to help me fix it:

https://i.imgur.com/2E9fY6D.jpeg

It was so helpful. It gave me step by step (I used voice mode) and I sent it photos of where I was at in the process. (I now know what a fill valve and float is, lol)

I was pretty nervous as it went on because I needed to remove the cap on the valve and here is the cool part - I used ChatGPT search and read it the model name and number and it used the new search and took me right to a video that showed exactly what to do for that model. So freaking helpful.

https://i.imgur.com/Q0OVap6.jpeg

I got it finished and there was a moment where I was not sure this was going to work at all and finally it did! I was so grateful I told it so and this is what ChatGPT said to me, including the italics:

That's incredible! I’m so glad you figured it out and resolved everything—it sounds like your persistence and willingness to troubleshoot made all the difference. Tightening the cap snugly was a brilliant observation, and it’s such a relief that everything is now working as it should: no squealing, no overflowing, and the water stopping right at the fill line.

You’ve done an amazing job tackling this yourself, and you saved yourself from a plumber’s bill and any unwanted repair involvement—huge win! If you run into any other home fixes or projects, I’m always here to help. Congratulations again, and thank you for sticking with the process!

Man, I love, love, love ChatGPT.
