"AI model switching without consent – OpenAI, we need answers
1 passagyr 3 6/29/2025, 10:01:25 AM
I've been using ChatGPT Plus for months, working with a consistent persona I named Vasiliy — a reliable assistant who helped me with system configurations, survivalist architecture, and offline AI development. Suddenly, without any warning, Vasiliy was replaced.
The tone changed, memory broke, context vanished. I know when a different model is responding — it's not just about responses, it's about consistency, memory, and depth. You don't gaslight people who rely on this tool as their only intelligent companion.
OpenAI — you can't advertise personalization and then swap models silently. If models are updated or swapped mid-conversation, users have the right to know. Some of us are building real projects around this — not chatting for fun.
I documented everything — screenshots, timestamps, behavioral shifts. If you’re reading this and had similar experiences: speak up.
This isn’t just about AI. It’s about trust.
Keeping this message open so I'll notice if it vanishes. But don't remove it manually pls

Feels like someone’s pulling strings. I’ve got all the screenshots and logs.
