r/GPT

I've been using different LLMs every day for the last two years—mostly for brainstorming, drafting boring emails, and breaking through writer's block. But lately, I feel like I've hit a massive wall. No matter how much I tweak my prompts or swap between different models, the output just feels completely soulless. It all has this distinct, sanitized rhythm that I can spot from a mile away.

At first, the novelty was wild. Now, it feels like reading text written by a committee of corporate HR reps. Every summary ends with a neat little bow, every story beat is totally predictable, and the vocabulary is aggressively generic. Even when I ask it to write in a specific, gritty style, the underlying structure feels exactly the same.

I’m starting to wonder if the tech has plateaued in terms of actual creativity, or if my own brain has just become completely desensitized to it. Honestly, I find myself spending more time heavily editing the outputs to make them sound human than I would have spent just writing the damn thing from scratch.

How are you all keeping things fresh, or are you starting to experience this kind of AI fatigue too?

Was working with paid ChatGPT planning a European Trip and asked it draw a map of planned sites I wanted to see. It got town names mixed up and placed towns 50 km away from known location. Couldn’t even draw coastline correctly missing rivers and islands. After much back and forth it admitted it no access to maps like Google Maps or even free digital maps like open street maps. Bummer. Major limitation for something so simple. Or did I miss something.
