Users report ChatGPT over-routing routine tasks into Work mode unnecessarily

A Reddit user on Mac desktop reports ChatGPT increasingly pushing simple analysis, connected-data, and file tasks into Work mode when normal chat could handle them. Asked why, the model admitted: 'Because I've been over-routing tasks that can be handled perfectly well in normal chat,' then conceded that complexity or connected Gmail/Drive/Calendar data alone doesn't justify Work mode. The user asks whether others see this and if any setting reliably keeps routine tasks out of it.
