Testing the New ChatGPT for English Learning
vista8 · x · 2026-07-13
A user tested the new ChatGPT for conversational English learning, concluding that it is usable but flawed.
Key observations include:
- Poor instruction following, especially with fine-grained constraints;
- Repeatedly using restricted expressions (e.g., struggling to stop saying "awesome" when explicitly asked not to);
- Occasionally outputting nonsensical sentences.
However, as a basic vocabulary practice tool, its performance is acceptable. Overall, it serves as a "practice buddy that isn't quite stable" for language learning.
