ChatGPT now narrates tasks then refuses to execute them, users report across all plans
Hybrid-Intelligence · reddit · 2026-10-18
A Reddit user reports that in the past week or two ChatGPT has started narrating what it's about to do during significant work, then not doing it—just sitting and waiting for more instruction. The behavior is new, wasn't present for about a year, and reproduces across their Plus, Business, and Enterprise accounts, suggesting a recent regression possibly tied to changes in the model's action tendencies.
