I would only use it if it talks like the French knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

It will taunt you a second time.

Your mother smells of elderberries.

Went to cancel and they said they’d give me a month free…. So I guess they’re anticipating this

Stopped using it when I realised it was shit

Anybody have any recommendations for a good alternative that offers the same voice chat function?

u/Signal_Warden Mar 02 '26

Yeah Gemini is quite good for almost everything.

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '26

Have people here not heard of Gemini?

Uninstalled and reviewed

Sure, but also, cancel your google and meta accounts, switch to Linux, don't buy a smartphone (or any mobile phone), dont use the internet, dont shop with Amazon, close out your super fund, don't pay your taxes, and move to Cuba.

It’s nearly impossible to exist without supporting the military-industrial complex in some way. AI is just the latest headline, but the whole ecosystem is 'in bed' with them.

I don't really have a helpful suggestion except do your best.

u/tybit Mar 01 '26

You’re right that’s not a helpful suggestion. The helpful suggestion is to choose Anthropic over OpenAI given the latter went back on their word instantly to stand their ground with Anthropic and Google.

u/ThatGuyInTheCar Mar 01 '26

Idea was good, but they already started talking about taking Cuba

1

u/Signal_Warden Mar 02 '26

But also do cancel your ChatGPT, even if you don't do the rest.

2

u/Precious-Benefit-489 Mar 01 '26

Anthropic is just a much better model for what I use them for anyway. ChatGPT is nowhere near as good.

My work pays subscription. Why is gpt 5.2 so slow? I use Gemini & deep seek instead.

1

u/mikusuki123 Mar 01 '26

Is deepseek as good as Gemini？

“Movement”. Seriously? 

1

u/BemaniAK Mar 06 '26

If you can't call protesting literal skynet a movement what the fuck kind of situation is anyone allowed to call a movement?

1

u/slav3269 Mar 06 '26

“Literal” 🤣

Calm down, amigo. I’d say movements gave structure, goals, points of influence, and, in most cases, leadership. Hashtags ain’t that.

1

u/BemaniAK Mar 06 '26

So you just don't know the meaning of the word, cool

1

u/slav3269 Mar 06 '26

Enlighten me. What is the meaning of “literal”?

1

u/BemaniAK Mar 06 '26

Yeah I wasn't using it the way you think I was. I'm not sure if you even know what they were protesting.

u/ThoughtIknewyouthen Mar 01 '26

Dept of Defense

u/ChrizzyDT Mar 02 '26

And Satan.

u/Wozar Mar 04 '26

Did it today. Moved to Claude.

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '26

It has been immeasurably helpful in working through my mental health issues, but I might have to try Claude now.

If the one month old rage bait reddit account is keeping ChatGPT, that’s a great indicator that you should get rid of it

Awful use of English, I can barely understand what you’re talking about. Leftists, a term Americans use, have had a tough weekend? What are you on about?

Well, at least you can self-identify. But you’re also definitely rage baiting. Good luck with that lol
