User verdicts
User verdicts · independent of our own tests aboveWhen I first started working I relied on it fully: weekly and monthly reports, meeting notes, even how to word reports to my boss. Free, no ads, and fast replies.
After updating the Mac client I can't even click to copy a reply, and the page won't scroll up to earlier content. The most basic operations are gone.
I uploaded a character-setting document and it was blocked at once with a safety warning. Ordinary files in the same format are fine. Stuck at this step, the whole workflow stalls.
I tested it on a round of math and coding problems. Looks convincing, but look closely and plenty is wrong. Confident nonsense wastes the most time; I have to check it line by line.
What annoyed me most was re-explaining the background in every new chat. Since memory was added that's gone; I just pick up where we left off.
Select-to-translate and screenshot recognition in the browser are really useful. But you can't even rename a chat there; you must jump to a separate page, and switching back and forth is awkward.
