Chat was getting so bad for the last few weeks, seriously degraded performance and "attitude" like fighting with a lying teenager about what it had done and what it was capable of doing. I shouldn't have to screenshot one thread to "prove" to another thread this is something it can do. LOL. I finally conceded I just don't have time to be battling with whatever is going on at Openai and decided to start fresh with Claude. It immediately became obvious that I would need the paid version to get through a single task to completion. So, now I am paying for both and was planning on ditching Chat. But, their export feature is either down or shut off to stop the bleeding from the exodus of customers due to recent news stories. I've tried it twice, neither time resulted in the magic email I'm supposed to be receiving letting me know the export zip file is ready. I presume that after a week of waiting, it isn't coming. LOL. But, now the big announcement that ChatGPT is not only upgraded but is on a track to become the "everything" AI tool? Maybe I'll stick around a bit longer (it isn't like I can really leave since my data is currently held hostage). Does anyone know what happens to our customGPTs and projects if we downgrade to the free plan? @AI Advantage Team

@Andrew Kuhlmann 100%. When you are bored or overwhelmed and need a brain break, pit them against one another and make them argue with one another. LOL. ChatGPT HATES Gemini.

@AI Advantage Team When I came back from free-account-limit "jail" a few hours later, all of my work was right where I left it. I would not have considered looking for it if not for your response here. So thank you! I will try incognito mode. I don't know why I didn't think of that! I tried direct credit card, direct debit card, apple pay, even the Link payment system (which already was authorized for another platform). I went and look directly at my card issuer sites because I didn't see any alerts for fraud. Nothing there. This is definitely on the Anthropic side.

@AI Advantage Team I used incognito mode in Chrome and it worked!

I use Notion AI (subscription based) for all of my meetings and webinars. It makes a transcript and summarizes it for you when it is done.

One thing I would love to see created for pastors is this... An app that let's their church members feed them with topics and questions that could surface real-time what-the-body-needs topics for their weekly sermons (or additional online sermons, newsletters, etc.). I believe the Holy Spirit can use the people to inform the pastor but there is almost no real vehicle right now where the pastor can receive these inputs broadly. The pastors are not living and operating in the same reality as their parishioners. Pastors spend their week engaged with Christians, working for Christian ideals, getting paid to do Christian work, and have an intrinsic accountability as a Christian because of their position as the pastor of a church. But, that is not how the people who need to learn about Christ and God's plan for them spend their days between sermons. It is not the inputs and influences the rest of us are bombarded with daily. This disconnect is, at least partly, what leads to the shallow "follow my cool acronym" sermons and possibly pastor burnout, struggling to figure out what to talk about right now. Pastors that are truly called to be God's vessel and meet their assigned souls where they are with God's inspired outreach should be worried about this disconnect from the reality of the people they have been entrusted to lead. Using AI to surface the "real life" experiences and needs of the flock they are called to shepherd would be amazing for the pastors, the people who attend either online or in person, and allows God to use this new tool for His glory. Just a thought...
