💡 Summary
Honestly, I’m kind of frustrated with ChatGPT 5. This is the first time I’ve done an assignment after its release, and no matter how many times I asked for proper paragraphs, it kept giving me boring point-form answers. I kept trying, rephrasing, even begging it to write like normal, but it just repeated the same thing until my trial ended. Meanwhile, ChatGPT 4 always gave me solid, proper answers to my questions. I really don’t get why 5 feels like a step back for assignments…
Has anyone else noticed this? Do you think 5 is just bad at assignments, or am I missing something?

💡 Summary
I asked when 3i/atlas could be seen with a telescope, and GPT told me when I'll be able to see it from my city. I never mentioned my city. Memories and reference chat history are both disabled. I don't keep chats either, even this one was temporary.
