NOT loving the excessive vibrations on the phone. It increases my anxiety somehow... I'd remove it honestly or make it 10% of what it is in certain cases only.

I might be alone in this, but we've been trained for vibrations to mean something. Vibrating the phone on every line or response from ChatGPT seems excessive to me (and a battery drain as well!).

You can turn off the "Haptic Feedback" in the app's settings

Yes, and you should. I also have turned off vibrations for everything but phone calls, calendar events and reminders.

Everything else has “Sounds” as off which turns off vibrations as well.

Yeah this is highly excessive and irregular use of haptics. I expect they will turn that off by default within a week.

I turned off haptics immediately in settings, but most people will be complaining before they figure that out.

It is annoying enough the way that ChatGPT drips out results, but now it acts as a low-quality hand massager and battery drain too?

Not ideal, but the product is still very good and people will happily use it, regardless of these "extra features"
