User rages at ChatGPT forcing model switch: 'ChatGPT 6 can't hold a basic conversation'

A Reddit user complains that OpenAI keeps auto-switching their preferred model to "ChatGPT 6", which they say lacks basic conversational skills—even the model itself admitted it failed basic communication standards when checked against a college syllabus. They found Gemini calmer and non-aggressive and may switch tools. The post criticizes OpenAI's constant verification and safety framing as a condescending "babysitter" that undermines users' confidence in their own thinking, calling the experience "harmful".
