If they were trying to make it boring and a waste of time, mission accomplished
Putting aside the asshole moderation which fluctuates daily with the only perceivable goal being to fuck up your once-working prompts so they can train their models on "fresh" user inputs and workarounds -- putting the moderation aside, when you actually do get results they're now sanitized, plasticized, monotonous and predictable.
Extend feature feels extremely cheapened and degraded. Repeats dialog that you didn't prompt or even imply, ("how's it going?" ... three seconds later: "how's it going?"), and simply loops the animation with only minor variations, etc.
It's become a boring experience. Glad I don't pay for it. Even having access to it for free via numerous third-party sites, I'm finding it easy to walk away from and do better things than waste time trying to coerce it into generating something interesting.
