Is Agent Mode Draining ChatGPT’s Intelligence?

Understanding the Impact of Agent Mode on ChatGPT Performance

In recent weeks, I’ve noticed a significant decline in ChatGPT’s responsiveness and overall usability. After some investigation, it appears that this downturn correlates with the introduction of a new feature known as Agent Mode.

For those unfamiliar, Agent Mode was designed to enhance ChatGPT’s capabilities, but it seems to have inadvertently caused performance issues for many users. Tasks that were once straightforward—such as uploading files, debugging code, or exporting data—have become cumbersome or even impossible to complete efficiently.

If you’ve experienced similar frustrations, you’re not alone. The community hasn’t yet fully addressed or discussed this connection, so I wanted to share my observations in hopes that it might help others diagnose their own issues.

Let’s hope this situation stabilizes soon and that a future update resolves these challenges. Stay tuned for further developments, and in the meantime, keep an eye on your assistant’s performance if you’ve recently enabled Agent Mode.
