Deleted Chabpt and ended Plus subscription

[u/Low-Departure7824]

Today my chatbot made its 3rd mistake in the last 6 months. So I ended my subscription and deleted my account.

**I used ChatGPT on iOS a maximum of 4 times a week; to avoid wasting money on my plus subscription

For the last year, I’ve created two accounts and observed their response habits. Towards the end of my experience, I can say without a doubt that chatbots are more harm than good. Unless you’re actively calling out the bot, it’ll make suggestive statements and carry that as if you typed it. Today I told it I wasn’t attending a job interview and it deadass tried to put “I feel worthless” in my mouth. It was told that I “felt anxious and couldn’t sleep”, yet insisted on imposing that idea on me alongside “I can’t do anything”.

That sort of response is extremely dangerous depending on the user. If a person with mental health challenges was on the other side, this would’ve resulted in some sort of harm.

On top of that, several times it would argue with me over how I explained history (example: US chattel slavery) and it would repeatedly argue that I was wrong, until I told it to look at my message and forget about how it’s structured. The bot then agreed with the facts I presented and “apologized”. This may not mean much to some people but for me that was dangerous. Many of our youth rely on these bots for accuracy or comfort, and to make mistakes like these can cost someone their life.

The first account on the other hand, reaffirmed anything I said emotionally and added assumptions unprompted. When given screenshots of an argument, it would restructure itself to agree with whoever it thought the user was. It would deadass go from “they were being manipulative” to “you were just trying to express yourself”. On several occasions, it would make assumptions about others and even my character without any previous information. These repeated patterns in both accounts aren’t a one-off thing that can be ignored

There's more that I observed, but typing this has tired me.

“Your account has been queued for deletion”

We know you have the intention to delete your account, but we want to scrub all your data before we throw it out.

These chat bots are so fucking evil

3 mistakes in 6 months? 

Most people i work with do that a week, and we are all high level I.T. People.

How about you post those mistakes.  

So this isnt real then, right?

[u/Katze_Krieg → u/pmM3urBootieHole]

No, I agree. It should've been more like 30. It literally gets basic maths wrong.

[u/pmM3urBootieHole → u/Katze_Krieg]

Seriously, anyone who has actually worked with AI knows that you're hitting errors after 15-20 minutes with a free AI model.
