Okay, OpenAI—first of all: I love ChatGPT. I use it daily, I pay for Plus, I get real value. But I’m just gonna say it:

🤖 Too Many Models, Too Few Clues

• I was using GPT-4.5 (Research Preview), then hit the cap and got bumped to GPT-4.0.
• Cool—except I don’t see GPT-3.5 anywhere… so am I actually using GPT-4.0 or secretly chatting with a model downgrade in a trench coat?
• If the platform silently switches models, we should see it.
• And why are there 9 model options with notes like “advanced reasoning only” or “doesn’t support search”? Just label them like human-friendly software, not test flights.

• GPT-4o (Best)
• Lite Mode (Fast & Basic)
• 🧪 Experimental Features (for nerds & tinkerers) That’s it. Boom. Everyone’s happy.

🧩 GPTs & Plugins = Where Am I and What Did I Install?

I tried a plugin (custom GPT). Didn’t like it. Wanted to uninstall. But there’s no delete button—just a “Hide” icon. Is it gone? Is it running in a data dungeon?

• ✅ Installed GPTs
• ❌ Uninstalled GPTs
• 💤 Hidden GPTs
• Toggle: “Run in background: Yes/No”

Like WordPress. You know… something normal humans can navigate.

🗃️ Canvas Tabs = UI Clutter Factory

Tried the canvas? It opens a new tab. Tried another one? New tab. Forever. There’s no way to delete them. They pile up like browser tabs during a caffeine binge.

🔋 Bonus: Let Me See My Token Usage

Y’all say, “Monitor your usage.”
Cool. With what? The Force?

I did finally get a “you’re almost out” popup—👏 thank you—but how about a bar, a token count, or even an emoji-based meter?

TL;DR

I’m not mad. I’m just overwhelmed. The tech is 10/10. But the UI?
It’s like I ordered a gourmet burger and it came with 12 sauces, no napkins, and instructions in binary.

Thanks for listening. Now please clean up the dropdown menu of doom.

Sincerely,
Captain TL ⚓
