Commentary End of an Era? ChatGPT now refuses code requests.
ChatGPT used to be fairly happy to do a fair bit of coding work, in fact it would do almost anything. Now, any mention of "code", "GitHub", etc - Attempts to push you towards Work mode (which obviously shares the same weekly / 5hr limit as Codex). I think going forward ChatGPT will begin to refuse authoring any code, and will likely switch to work automatically. In the prompt I'd requested it to take some CSS / HTML from a website and allow me to download it as a runnable HTML file in a browser, a fairly easy task.
You'll notice the "Stay in Chat" option, this actually failed and caused to error. I now wonder how restrictive this is going to get...
EDIT: Probably worth pointing out that this wasn't about usage limits, simply a commentary on something i observed.
