ChatGPT's New GIF Feature Flops: Flickering Frames, Mutated Limbs, No Seamless Loops

Pentunee · reddit · 2026-11-06

A three-year Plus subscriber critiques ChatGPT's newly added GIF generation: it can't produce seamless loops, body parts scatter, and frames flicker as if each was generated separately with a different filter. Consistency is poor — asking for a walking character yields a static image with a blinking eye, and a pixel-art girl petting a cat turns into an arm reaching for the tail that becomes a second cat head, with arms multiplying. The poster compares it to the "Will Smith eating spaghetti" era and argues it doesn't match OpenAI's promise of consumer-facing frontier AI, also noting voice lags behind Sesame and Dessa and memory remains fragmented while recent updates focus on Codex.
