“quick answers without real depth — This "AI" sometimes makes assumptions, i.e. sometimes "false" or insufficiently researched answers are given” — ★★☆☆☆ · German“Too many errors — It malfunctions too often costs a person too much precious time!” — ★☆☆☆☆ · German“Really bad — Delivers repeatedly wrong answers despite extensive sources available in its own storage and claims the opposite of what the sources say. Really unusable for serious work.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · German“0 for 5 — Has been dead wrong on my last 5 queries. Something seems seriously wrong with the latest model. It will confidently give me half truths or a totally wrong answer. When I correct it, it says, “oh that’s right, I was mistaken.” And will then clarify. Very alarming if you’re not the type of person who double checks or if you’re using on the fly for something quick but important. Be very careful with how…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Impressive AI, alarmingly unreliable product — My biggest problem with ChatGPT isn't individual AI errors, but the lack of reliable handling of corrections.

“Plus subscription for €22.99 and still quickly limited: Get Pro for €102.99 for more usage? 😳 — I already use ChatGPT Plus and pay €22.99 per month.

That means I try to edit a picture at 20:10, after 4 attempts I can't do anything else and have to wait until 1 at night. And this has been going on for 2 days. It's frustrating, no fun and I'm thinking about deleting the app” — ★☆☆☆☆ · German“Outrageous — I wanted to try something fun with the program, but after just a few lines I was told I had to wait a couple of hours before I could continue. Then when I went back to the page later to continue, I was shown another wait time of a couple of hours. This process kept repeating over and over again, which was incredibly frustrating.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · German

“Not free at all — If you ever send even one photo; expect the chat bot to say “okay, that’s it for today. Come back in 18 hours or pay us money now”. Even without doing that; send like 3 or 4 messages and you get the same thing. The app is worthless now. If I wanted to google something, I could go and do that online.

Reviews are grouped one storefront at a time, so each storefront words its complaints separately. Two are added together here when they carry the same name, or when their wordings share half their meaningful words — one fixed rule, applied the same way to every app, and the reviews under each complaint are there to check it against. Where it is close but not certain the two stay apart, so this under-joins rather than over-joins.

I can literally be having a normal conversation, without generating anything or doing anything unusual, and suddenly I hit a usage limit and get told I need to wait or subscribe. I understand that running an AI service costs money, but the constant limits make…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“$ — You can do the same stuff on Google AI that you can do here and they don’t charge you unlike ChatGPT. It’s really annoying. We’re in when you’re in the middle of something and it makes you start a new chat or restrict you from writing anymore unless you pay or wait 24 of hours is pretty ridiculous.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English

6of the 98 read·6%

“The read aloud button has disappeared! — I am so sad to see that a function I have been using daily within the app for almost a year has recently disappeared. The little speaker button beneath each of the AI responses was so incredibly useful, to be able to hear responses read aloud (and in a lovely voice) while I was doing other tasks. PLEASE bring it back!!” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Speak out loud relocated — Please put tht speak out loud feature back where it was originally.. I use this feature often while driving!!! I do not have time to search!!!” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Change the message format back — Please put the read aloud button back under the messages. I don’t wanna look for it under the three dots. It’s so annoying.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English
Pasted text treated as file attachment
3of the 98 read·3%
Users report that copying and pasting simple text triggers a file attachment response and fake file limit warnings, even for single words.

“Horrible update — The new paste behavior is extremely frustrating. I copied ONE WORD from Apple Notes and ChatGPT treated it like a file attachment. Then I got a message about reaching a file limit and needing to upgrade. That makes absolutely no sense. A single word is not a file. I understand having limits for actual large uploads, but normal copied text should never be counted as a file. Please fix this. Updates…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Remove the newest feature — I hate how my pasted text turns into a file and then I have to wait hours before I can do it again. It’s a struggle when I’m trying to get my things done quickly.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Unable to past text — Am not able to past text anymore and it’s crazy” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Over it — Trying to write and design a Webtoon comic that sci-fi related.. every time I try to generate something. It says I go against community guidelines. Can’t even have an alien mother, hold a newborn to her chest image, can’t have an alien male look like he is sad and crying because of war because it goes against community guide lines…. I completely put in the prompt that it’s an alien race, but I still keep…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Horrible! — This app rejects even the simplest request. It’s annoying when all you get is prompts saying your request violates guardrails. I asked to put turtle neck sweater on a picture. Prompt says it’s nudity. Delete!” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“AI is not as smart as it thinks — I was trying to generate a photo for a humorous meme and Chat GPT kept telling me that it violated some sort of sexual images policy 🤣 The photo I was trying to generate was in no way of any sexual or suggestive nature and it kept saying it was and then told me I had reached the limit for images even though it hadn’t generated a single image. Fortunately I was able to generate the…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English
Image editing ignores specific instructions
3of the 98 read·3%
Users ask for one small edit with explicit constraints but the AI either ignores them, makes unwanted changes, or creates a new image instead.

“Lazy in image creator — Does like to make image corrections” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Image upload not working — I have tried all that it has said to do but my images aren’t attaching properly and it won’t edit my picture but it’s creating a new one” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“$20 wasted. — ★☆☆☆☆ — Image editing has become frustrating and unreliable I’ve used ChatGPT extensively for creative work, and lately the experience has become incredibly frustrating. The biggest problem is that image editing frequently ignores very specific instructions. I can ask for one small change while explicitly saying not to alter anything else, yet the result will change the pose, proportions, facial…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

Unreliable answers and constant errors
4of the 24 read·17%
App contradicts itself, provides incorrect information with unwarranted confidence, and fails when confronted with reality.

“Non fiable ! — Se contredit sans cesse. Ne recherche pas la bonne source. Non fiable !” — ★☆☆☆☆“Lamentable!!!! Une perte de temps et d’argent — Application lamentable dès qu’on attend le minimum : une réponse juste. Tout est torché à la va-vite, aucune vérification, et le résultat est un tissu d’erreurs débité avec un aplomb hallucinant. On pose une question simple, on récupère un pavé qui joue au sérieux et qui s’effondre dès qu’on le confronte au réel. Un exemple qui résume tout le naufrage : je demande une…” — ★☆☆☆☆“Beaucoup d’améliorations sont encore à prévoir — L’intelligence artificielle peut être pratique et faire gagner du temps, mais attention : bien souvent, elle raconte des énormités avec un aplomb déconcertant. Il faut systématiquement vérifier les informations données, même lorsque la réponse paraît parfaitement crédible. Et concernant les tarifs… n’en parlons même pas ! Pour un service qui peut encore fournir autant…” — ★☆☆☆☆
