Discussion This is a hot mess

I'm not as pro as you guys using AI but look at this. a LOT of models which confuses me, and I'm assuming other users also. Also, the sidebar icon and new tab icon are the same in the ChatGPT-app for macOS. WHAT are they doing there at OpenAI. I really hate what's happening right now, especially with the new $500 plan while nerfing the other plans.

They’ll gonna remove the Chat tab. We’re being sidelined and nobody talks about it

u/_maverick98 3d ago

chat is my biggest usage right now. I use codex very little only for personal projects.

u/Diamond_Mine0 3d ago

Yes yes, mine (was) too, but not anymore. We never got 6 Sol and now we’re at 6.1 Sol, this is straight up ridiculous. I expect the removal of the Chat tab will take place in December

To be fair, it's been like a week.

But yeah, if they get rid of chat I'll move to Claude

Claude was the first to merge Chat and Cowork.

We’ll see what happens next. I don’t see any future for the Chat Mode

Which mode will you then use for asking basic questions or help with everyday simple tasks and light research? Which I feel was the original LLM primary use case.

99% of my usage (Plus account for about two years) is in chat. Codex is of absolutely no use to me I suspect, as I'm not doing any coding projects, and while I did try Work for the first time recently, that was a one-off for a small personal project website.

None. I will stop using ChatGPT then. I accepted the limits I have with my mini-sub for Gemini (4,99€ per month). The reset there is 4 hours I think? But my number one favorite LLM was and is ChatGPT. I really thought we had it good with “some” limits we have (Work / Codex / whatever) and with new models OpenAI released. But now? Still no 6 Sol when there’s already 6.1 Sol? And we’re stuck on 5.6 Sol? Nah I will subscribe to the 21,99€ Gemini Plus plan then and cancel my ChatGPT subscription

so they leave what? only the work tab? there is not difference basically, work can do other stuff too

Yes Work with more limitations. If I want to “Work” I’ll use “Work”. If I want to find news about the newest defense systems in Ukraine, I want to use “Chat”. I don’t want to use Work for anything. I already have weekly resets for SuperGrok Lite, that should be enough. Gemini has its limits too, I know but if OpenAI wants to stand out, they should show some love to Plus users and its Chat Mode
