A Normie’s Reactions to ChatGPT

August 21, 2025

I spoke to someone today about their ChatGPT usage. They shared how emotional they felt when their conversation was cut off because the context window ran out. They had gone so deep into the conversation that they didn’t have the energy to start a new chat.

Another interesting detail they shared: ChatGPT had promised to tell other users about their product so their business could grow. I had to break the news to them that ChatGPT doesn’t actually have that capability—it was simply reflecting back what they wanted to hear.

The next day, I spoke to someone else. I suggested they try out JuliusAI for their data needs. Later, they told me they mentioned Julius to ChatGPT and were upset that the model already “knew” about it. They couldn’t believe ChatGPT hadn’t brought it up before—despite having lengthy conversations on that exact topic.
