Recent trouble with ChatGPT UI
I have ChatGPT Plus (~ 20 EUR/month), I use mostly the web interface and the Android app. Am I the only one who is recently very frustrated with the user interface? Especially: Sometimes when I give it more complicated task, I can't even tell if it is working or not, it doesn't show the running timer, nothing... it seems stuck and sometimes it is, sometimes it is not and it is actually working... Very frustrating. Right now my more complicated query is stuck again after like 10+ minutes of work. Sometimes it looks like my message has been sent and received, and it looks like it is doing something, but later I find out (e.g. when I reload the conversation) that my message is simply not in the chat! And it is lost! In the Android app, the controls allowing to set the thinking effort and model disappear completely, and I can't even tell, let alone control, what model/effort it is using. Do you experience these problems too? I am starting to be increasingly frustrated with the UI. Am I the only one? If you are using other service (e.g. Claude), does it have similar problems?
