So let me get this straight:
1) If you have the Codex desktop app installed, and you update from within the app, it replaces itself with the new chat-demoted-to-an-overlay app called "ChatGPT" and renames your existing ChatGPT app to "ChatGPT Classic."
2) If you get the new ChatGPT app and replace your current app with it, you don't get a "Classic" app and there's no way to download it.
3) They really named an app "Classic." Naming your app Classic is putting a bright red sign on it that says "this app will be abandoned soon." They might as well have called it "ChatGPT Sunset."
If this is all true, that is certainly...one way to do product management.
I guess the smarter ai gets the dumber we have to be to compensate
Nobody in product development saw the need to leave behind a "Classic" version as a clue that this new bloated abomination is subpar?
Sounds kind of ominous.
I was just about to pull the trigger, and upgrade my sub, but maybe I'm better off, moving over to Claude, even though it means rebuilding my history.
Chat is there... it's just can't be in a full-screen anymore.
You can detach a specific chat window and make it any size you want.
Not allowing full screen is the most insane thing for a “chat app ported from the web”… the browser probably has a better experience now…
Presumably there are some features in the old app that will be migrated to the new app or dropped. Seems fine.
Lol, this has Google energy.
