tristanbob · x · 2026-09-11
- Users are reporting that the newly launched GPT-6 Astra feels severely degraded, as if it were 'lobotomized' compared to expectations.
- A commenter draws an analogy to Riot Games' playbook: release powerful characters to drive adoption, then nerf them in the next update — suggesting OpenAI may be doing the same with post-launch capability rollbacks.
- This remains anecdotal user feedback; no official explanation yet.
