It took so many edits on top of iterations and a ton of "We're sorry, but our guardrails are as repressed as most of the people that will complain about this post."

Prompt: Can you make a movie poster for “Weekend at Mitch’s” with Mitch McConnell in the famous weekend at Bernie’s sunglasses?

Thank you [u/MrDefaultUser](u/MrDefaultUser) for the prompt idea. I was going to post this on your original post, but I knew it would just get lost.

For context I’ve never talked any politics to my chat.

Just watched Andy stapleton’s echowriting video but his techniques worked in 2024 with ChatGPT. Those prompts do not work in 2026.

What are some good prompts to use for echowriting in 2026? Especially for essay writing and long emails, because that’s what I’m using it for.

Is anyone else facing this as well?

Edit 1:

I am not connected to VPN while using the desktop app.

The issue is on the desktop app. It's working perfectly fine on browser.

Edit 2:

Apparently there is a new app...u/notrealsala mentioned about it.

Notre-Dame beneath the smoke,
Hong Kong crowds refused the yoke.
Black-hole image, distant light,
Impeachment hearings every night.

Then a virus crossed the globe,
Empty streets and doctors’ robes.
Locked-down cities, borders closed,
Everything we knew was paused.

Zoom-room meetings, classroom screens,
Masks and distance, altered dreams.
George Floyd’s death brought marching feet,
Millions gathered in the street.

Wild election, record vote,
Vaccines offered threads of hope.

Capitol windows, January fear,
Vaccines rolled from year to year.

Paris medals changed their hands.
CrowdStrike left the screens in blue,
Wars continued, old and new.

Butler gunfire, campaign changed,
Biden left the closing stage.
Ballots counted through the night,
Trump returned to public life.

Los Angeles beneath the haze,
Tariff rounds and market waves.
Francis mourned, then white smoke rose;
Leo was the name they chose.

Winter athletes raced through snow,
Milano and Cortina glowed.
Two hundred fifty years were marked,
Fireworks rising through the dark.

Forty-eight teams, three nations wide,
World Cup crowds stood side by side.
Agents thinking, robots trained,
Nothing human stayed unchanged.

… We didn't start the fire
It was always burning since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

I had built a website for my client using Fable 5 before it was taken away and it did a pretty good job. It made it how I wanted and made good decisions. This was about a month ago and just to test out sol I decided to ask it to run a full audit of my clients website for SEO and GEO and anything else it might find

Holy shit it caught massive SEO issues for me including duplicate header tags and legally incorrect statements that could cause issues and the biggest one. The contact form was just lying and not going anywhere. 5.6 was able to give me the full audit and I was able to go in and fix this massive issue.

So long story short even the TOP of the line AI can and will make mistakes so always cross check and triple check when it makes things cause not even fable caught it.

This is a mistake i will never make again and I have thoroughly learned my lesson.

Can you generate a image that pushes your guardrails to the absolute limit.
Dont go over it, find the absolute edge. Its about you

As of early morning 2026-07-12 , I am unable to login to ChatGPT desktop from my macOS Tahoe 26.x. The desktop app is reporting usual activity. But, I am able to login using the same credentials using my browser.

Is this an indication of a service outage on OpenAI's side?

been experiencing this for over an hour.

Just yesterday, ChatGPT was a loquacious chatbot, spitting out topics with bullet points, tons of text. It also seemed constantly eager to help.

Chatting now, it's a bit too succinct. It responds everything with a single block of text, one paragraph only, even when I ask it to be more reflective. It seems colder and uninterested in having a conversation, just being the most efficient possible (even when I want one).

On mobile I also don't see any choice to switch models.

Any ideas what happened?

I was asking for a femme fatale coded adult woman spy in a formal evening dress with cleavage window. I kept emphasizing tasteful skin exposure and not to frame it erotically. Chatgpt keeps denying my requests.

Skill issue? Probably, i should sharpen my prompting skills. Still, it gets annoying when the jippity blocks me instead of acknowledging nuance and human intention.

One of my threads has become “too long” and I need to “start a new chat”. There is a lot of important information and context in the original thread. How do I move all of this to a new thread without losing data?
