Rising ChatGPT limits are making some users switch tools
A complaint says OpenAI has narrowed what ChatGPT will help with over the past year, with the change speeding up in the last six months. The main causes are described as fear of lawsuits and a tendency to apply US moral standards inside the product. The result, in this view, is that ChatGPT is becoming less useful as the first place people go for answers.
Examples include limits around help with legally buying firearms or other weapons, collecting reviews and recommendations for them, legally buying marijuana, collecting reviews and recommendations for it, and broader information about sexual activity beyond anatomy. The core concern is that these limits do not just block risky requests; they also interrupt ordinary , comparison, and decision work.
