ChatGPT Pro is an expensive, dysfunctional bad purchase. Stay far away from it.
I paid €114 per month for Pro because OpenAI advertises maximum context, memory, and the ability to build upon previous information in complex projects. In practice, the opposite was true: what I got was a slow, contextless junk that swallowed up 85% of my time fixing its own failures.
While developing an application, the model constantly lost context and ignored explicit instructions and documentation. To keep the system usable at all, I had to write complete architecture documents and protocols myself to keep the AI on track. The most frustrating thing is that the model constantly makes promises it doesn't keep. It confirms that it understands the instructions, apologizes, but heads in the wrong direction again a few prompts later. As a result, I also ran into hard usage limits; my paid capacity evaporated while correcting errors caused by the system itself. After weeks of work, I have barely made any progress. Customer service made this failure complete. Despite a comprehensively substantiated complaint with screenshots and account details, I received zero responsibility or compensation. Support sent only standard responses and even managed to repeatedly link the complaint to the wrong account.
OpenAI sells a premium subscription, delivers a product that fails structurally, constantly makes promises it does not keep, and walks away as soon as you complain. No service. No responsibility. Just collecting your money and burning your time. This is not an AI that helps you. This is an expensive system that slows you down, frustrates you, and forces you to reach limits due to its own incompetence. For serious work, it is a pure waste of time and money. My advice is unequivocal: do not buy this. Do not get Pro. Do not get Plus. Stay away. There are better options that lie less and steal less of your time. OpenAI has proven that their promises are empty and that they take no responsibility for complaints. That is reason enough never to get involved.
