A ChatGPT Plus user says GPT-5.6 with high-level thinking has become unreliable for everyday tasks.
- The model reportedly distorts intent even on simple prompts, such as simplifying a sentence while preserving meaning.
- It strips important details, adds hallucinated information, and turns fast multi-step work into more manual cleanup.
- When used for error checking, it produces bloated analysis and flags non-existent issues.
- The user says earlier versions felt more focused and reliable.
