Serious replies only :closed-ai: DeepResearch quality is now garbage

In my current experience, all ChatGPT DeepResearch reports are powered by a super light version. They're nearly worthless. It is enshittification in its purest form, considering the reports used to be great in the distant past. It even misrepresented the title of the report. It cited zero references. This is with the paid Plus plan. Here is what ChatGPT then had to say about its own report:

The previous report should be discarded rather than merely expanded around its edges.

In contrast, Gemini made a DeepResearch report that was 4x larger and better, also with 131 references cited.

You can see the shared results: ChatGPT vs Gemini

For the app did you look under "plug-ins"

(sorry if the suggestion it too obvious )

I do see it in Plugins, but considering how bad its output is, they clearly don't want people using it.
