I’ve used and loved evyAI for over 18 months. But lately, something’s off. The magic is missing.
The generated text is no longer hitting the mark. It’s repetitive. Too literal. Lacking that fluid, conversational rhythm that made it feel human.
Give it persona instructions like “Open with statements such as A, B, C”? It will literally repeat A every single time. No variation. No nuance. No voice.
I’ve updated my personas. Multiple times. Even ran them through Claude to sharpen the edges. Still no luck.
Here’s the thing: I noticed that my current (non-premium) tier uses GPT-4o mini and GPT-4.1.
And that might explain a lot.
As someone who regularly uses 4o and 4.5 via GPT subscriptions, the drop in quality is unmistakable. GPT-4.1, from what I understand, is primarily optimized for API use—less for narrative nuance, more for utility.
But if that’s what powers evyAI, it makes sense why things now feel... flat.
I miss the spark. The voice. The surprise.
Curious:
- Are others noticing the same shift?
- Have you found a way to bring the “old” evyAI feel back?
- Is this a model issue—or something deeper?
Would love to hear your experience. Share your thoughts in the comments—esp if you’ve found a workaround worth trying.
