I Asked ChatGPT to Complain About ChatGPT – Here’s What Happened

Using AI to Ask AI for a Refund: A Lesson in Digital Negotiation

Ask chat GPT for a free month because there were days the system was really slow and I could not get anything done. Especially image generation was hopelessly slow and the mistakes … I want you to write a very convincing email and ask for a free month.

Subject: Request for One-Month Credit Due to System Performance Issues

Dear OpenAI Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I’m writing as a regular and committed user of ChatGPT Plus to express a concern and kindly request a one-month credit or extension to my subscription. Over the past month, I’ve encountered persistent performance issues that significantly disrupted my workflow—particularly during peak hours.

There were multiple occasions when the system was extremely slow or unresponsive, especially in tasks involving image generation. In several cases, I had to abandon my work altogether because it was impossible to proceed. Additionally, there were instances where outputs were incomplete, contained errors, or timed out before completing. These disruptions affected both my productivity and planning, especially as I rely heavily on the service for professional and creative projects.

I understand that technical hiccups are sometimes inevitable, and I appreciate the work your team is doing to improve the platform. Still, I believe it’s fair to request a goodwill gesture—such as a free month of Plus service—to account for the value lost during these outages and performance lags.

Thank you for your understanding and support. I remain a dedicated user and look forward to the continued improvements to ChatGPT.

Warm regards,
