ChatGPT’s response structure is funny atleast for me , cancelled subscription

A viral Reddit post has sparked discussion by detailing a user's decision to cancel their $20/month ChatGPT Plus subscription, citing intense frustration with the AI's response style. The user demonstrated that even basic queries, like "what is daylight savings?", trigger lengthy, templated replies. These responses often begin with validating phrases, use emojis as section headers (e.g., ☀️, ⏰), and include multiple bullet-point sections culminating in a "Final Summary"—a structure the poster found unnecessarily verbose and slow to generate.

The critique highlights a growing user experience pain point: the trade-off between comprehensive answers and concise utility. The poster argued the same information could be delivered in "2 small paragraphs," but ChatGPT's default style pads explanations, which also slows down interaction speed. This experience was the final straw for a user who had already largely switched to using Anthropic's Claude, suggesting that for some, competitor products are offering a more streamlined and efficient conversational experience. The post reflects broader user sentiment about AI assistants prioritizing form over function and the value proposition of premium subscriptions.
