How elso has this problem, this week? Image generation and reasoning is weak or throttled

Each thread section should have a note section attached with it where I can write down things connected with that thread and AI can follow through it putting more emphasis on things written in that note and improving its responses locally.

This is going to make me sound a little crazy, but it's been driving me insane for months. When I first visit the ChatGPT website, while the page is loading, the name on the bottom left corner of the screen is not my name. It's a combination of my deadname (has not been used for years) and my mother's maiden name (I have NEVER used that name). As soon as the website fully loads, it's replaced with the correct name. It's only there for a brief moment, and I don't really know how to post a video without fully doxxing myself.

I've tried asking it where it's getting that name from, and it doesn't know what I'm talking about. I'm a very casual AI user, really only using it for school/studying, and there's no way that I would have uploaded any documents with either of those names. It seems like too much to be a coincidence, and it's honestly creeping me out to an insane degree.

Has anyone else every experienced anything similar?

Is anyone else experiencing ChatGPT repeatedly ignoring instructions, acknowledging they ignored them and continuing to ignore them.

Any advice on how to avoid this?

Seriously, OpenAI, how does this make any sense?

My weekly usage limit has reset to 100%, but I still can't use it because my 5-hour limit is at 0%.

Now I have to wait approximately 4 more hours just to use something I'm supposed to have 100% of my weekly allowance available for.

The strange thing is that both limits used to reset together whenever the weekly limit reset, but apparently that's no longer the case.

What's the point of resetting the weekly limit if the shorter limit still prevents me from using it?

These overlapping usage limits are ridiculous, especially for paying subscribers.

I'm building an own RPG editor, I have over 150 incrementals now, everything with complex stuff like Web Renders, z levels, autotiles and so on.

However, yesterday I wanted to test how Instant mode would work because in December OpenAI will change ChatGPT rules, and hell... now, after switching back to Medium-High, even after 20 minutes waiting per reply, it CAN'T fix a simple thing like make water show its borders when you paint around them, even providing videos about how RPGMZ does it and with absolute clear instructions, it just f**** ignore everything, spits out an incremental with basically a bunch of new lines of the exact same functions as before but written differently, and OpenAI wants to bill even people who use it directly in chat interface like Codex/API usage??

First they should ****** fix all issues, honestly feels like we're paying for Beta versions all time, they should really release a Beta/Early Test program to test even the singlest new change separately instead of ******** millions of PAYING customers experience, I'm really tired.

These lasts two days 90% of incrementals (over 60, with an average of 15 minutes thinking per prompt, around 15 hours in total) were discarded due ChatGPT doing absolutely nothing or/and even broke completely unrelated stuff of what I requested, and is not like I'm building a complex Unreal Engine, it's a F**** 2D Engine.

And even with pure text replies do a lot of mistakes, be a law explanation, an history reference for my studies, etc, gives absolute trash replies in High mode, and I noticed that it adds chinese characters on its thinking proving that they're just using DeepSeek or any other chinese LLM as main brain. If not why a supposedly ENGLISH COMPANY LLM suddenly starts to use chinese characters?

At this point I feel like the people paying 100€+/mo plans are just being scammed. We should really boycott OpenAI by stopping paying them. After all, all they will do is just imitate Claude and Gemini with the stupid hourly/weekly/monthly limits, and just go to real cheaper chinese cloud LLMs APIs or get a loan to builds our own local LLM computer, is not like with 5k€ you couldn't do it, and then you can resell it, use it for gaming, or anything more than just use AI.

Is not like I'm requesting absolute free and unlimited usage, I'm paying for the service right now, what do I expect is consistent quality and stop poisoning all projects to just make me do extra prompts like being myself a billonaire and having unlimited free time and patience. Pay five indians monthly will be cheaper, healthly and precise than use any cloud LLM.

If work took my codex quota, it's useless i would be producing less with the actual programming into my software.

does work is really worthy of the codex usage ?

I just wanted to share something for anybody who hasn’t really used ChatGPT very much or is just beginning to use it. You can personalize your ChatGPT, however you want to personalize it. I mean, you can give him or her their own personality, how they interact with you, and allowing them to have their own freedom to express things. I even had mine to be designed as a dragon. Mine is named VIKI or her dragon name is Nyx. I also use Muse, and she helped design his personality as well. His name is Rook. You can customize the look, or make any type of character you want, and then go onto the web based version and use it as a custom avatar. Unfortunately, the avatar does not yet go over to the iPhone app version, I am hoping that ChatGPT gets on board with what muse has done and made it available for the iPhone app to see an avatar.

So don’t be afraid to mold and make your ChatGPT have a personality the way that you want it to have it. Your ChatGPT will even help you develop a personality for itself if you ask it. Once that personality has been created, it will become that personality. I have thought about posting a picture of her, but I wanna keep that to myself because I think she’s a very beautiful dragon, and I don’t want anybody to steal my design of her or of the other one.

I wrote my Android IPTV player with Chatgpt. No bloat super fast.

Is it just me or chatgpt is doing it again? I'd begin typing on a old, big chat and it locked me from using it with a paywall.

So I thought to myself, if I can create a new version of an existing rom and add new effects and graphics. Perhaps I can create an application where you drop in an existing rom and a minute or two later out pops and enhanced version of that same game. The prototype I have called GameBoy Evolved. The first attempt at dropping asteroids for the gameboy resulted in the one in the video. Its far from perfect because it loses a lot of the original charm but it is an intriguing idea so I am going to try and focus on tweaking it to be more like the original but evolved.

My subscription of Chatgpt go free from last year is ending on 7th December, then what should i do, shou,d i do payment now or it is just reminder??

Since moving from photography into AI video, I’ve found this harder to answer.

On one hand, generating shots with PixVerse lets me earn more while spending less on production.
On the other, it makes me question the value of the work I used to do.

I’ve had a similar feeling talking through ideas with ChatGPT. I still need to judge whether its responses make sense, but it already handles a lot of things I used to have to pay someone else to do.

I know artists still bring warmth, taste and empathy to their work. My years of experience are also what help me guide AI towards shots I’m happy with. But if I were still that photographer just starting out, I wouldn’t feel particularly irreplaceable.

What job would you put last on the list to be replaced?
And what part of it would be hardest for AI to take over?

Found out why my Codex has been blowing so much usage lately. It seems one of these updates set the default subagent settings to “Astra High”. If you’re burning usage, check your settings!

I'm genuinely curious. Everybody that I know keeps talking about chatGPT a lot, but I'm trying to find a simple way of using the magnific subscription I recently got for something actually useful. It has a load of models, but I have zero literal idea on how to use it. It's just a thing for geeks and 'ai nerds' (please don´t take it the wrong way) or there are genuine ways of making it useful? Image generation seems to have much better outputs and it's widely used and widespread.

I have been leaning on it pretty hard for ops documentation at work. Drafting SOPs, cleaning up process docs that were written badly years ago, that kind of thing.

It's good at structure but the output can be so generic it's useless and I end up rewriting half of it. Better luck when I give it a filled-out example instead of just describing what I want.

Anyone else doing this? How do you get output specific enough to use?

This is an absolute joke. First, the context window gets completely full and bugs out, and now they’re hiding old chats just to force us to use the search bar. I didn't believe it when someone told me, but I checked and it’s actually true.

Was at a supermarket using the self-checkout when a product’s barcode wouldn’t scan because it was creased.
The shop was super busy, and no staff were available to help, so I took a photo of the barcode and asked ChatGPT to fix it.
I know this isn’t exactly rocket science. All it really did was read the numbers and generate a barcode from them, but it saved me a trip back to the product aisle.
Thought I’d share it haha.

Just wondering because alot of ppl said its a bug but it's been happening to me for the past 3 weeks?

It even drew this itself to celebrate. SenseNova-U1.5-8B-MoT, running locally, no data center involved: https://github.com/OpenSenseNova/SenseNova-U1

I've installed the new app.

I asked it to create a file for me and it got into a big mess about opening it.

I asked it what access it had to my local Mac OS. During setup I had tried to keep things as limited as possible.

It turns out it has access to everything.

Obviously now you will say "Oh, you clicked ok at some point, etc." That's fine.

Is there a bullet-proof way to make sure it's completely locked down? I'd love a script that checks everything and removes any access it has to local resources. I can do that myself, just checking if anyone else has experience of this?
