GPT used to amaze me. Now I am just completely disappointed
canceled my subscription right after they removed 4o. I got a free month of Plus and decided to try the 5.2 model for chatting, writing, and simple plugin coding. It was a complete letdown.
I gave the exact same prompts to Gemini and Claude and they nailed it perfectly. They even gave me better suggestions. The biggest issue with 5.2 is its severe context loss and total lack of comprehension. It feels like since they stripped its empathy, it just doesn't understand human intent anymore.
At first 5.2 actually told me my coding request was unrealistic. When I showed it the working code Gemini generated, 5.2 got incredibly condescending. It criticized Gemini's code as rough and bragged it could do better, but then output a total disaster
When I asked it to fix the errors, it kept looping back to questions from 10 turns ago. I used the 5.2 Thinking model and it would think for minutes just to spit out completely irrelevant stuff, or worse, blame me for not executing it correctly. It just kept arguing, lecturing me, and absolutely refusing to admit it was wrong
I kept hitting the thumbs down button but nothing changed. I was so frustrated and angry that I finally just gave up and went back to Gemini to finish the work.
As much as GPT amazed me in the past, that is exactly how disappointed I am now. I have completely canceled my subscription, deleted the app, and I am not coming back. This is my last time posting in this sub. I am completely done.
