OpenAI Makes ChatGPT ChatGPT Again
2 days ago
- OpenAI's 'Super App' update initially buried the chat functionality, making it a sub-feature under 'ChatGPT Work'.
- After user backlash, OpenAI quickly reverted to make chat front and center again, with 'Work' as a secondary tab.
- The update was rushed and likely influenced by cloning Anthropic's Claude, causing confusion among the billion-user base.
- Codex integration remains, but the app is still bloated and less performant, with no GPT-Live yet.
- The situation is compared to Netflix's Qwikster debacle, highlighting OpenAI's misread of its user base.
