Tell HN: ChatGPT has 13B revenue but can't make a working website
The ChatGPT performance is terrible, and has been for months. I use ChatGPT on both a Mac M3 w/32GB RAM, and a AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U (w/ Radeon 780M) & 32GB RAM. After I have been using a single ChatGPT page/thread/whatever to do research for a day or two, it becomes insanely slow, locking up the browser for minutes at a time. The only recourse is to stop the page, kill the tab, and re-open the page, and hope ChatGPT is done doing whatever is locking things up. So I end up literally "exporting to JSON" whatever i've done, and opening a new thread, pasting the JSON there, just so I can continue my research/planning.

I have reported this same bug for months. There is no indication anyone has seen these reports or is working on it, no customer service or feedback. It's like putting a letter in a bottle and tossing it out to sea.
Forget the potential impact to the environment, the economy, to jobs, the world, etc. The thing that pisses me off the most about AI is how hard is it to make a website that doesn't lock up the browser?! Like what exactly is their web page even doing that it has to suck up this many resources? I'm not doing 3d rendering here! I just need it to show me text for god's sake! This is the opposite of rocket science, and yet these bozos can't get this right? Why would anyone trust them with anything important?
