  "textContent": "I am a long-term user of both ChatGPT and Claude. Overall, ChatGPT already demonstrates very strong capabilities, but through extended use, I have noticed several areas where future versions could better support learners, advanced users, and professional workflows.\n\nIn summary, my main suggestions are:\n\n  1. A reusable skills system for individual users\n  2. A stricter Study Mode based on Socratic guidance\n  3. Greater honesty and uncertainty transparency\n  4. Stronger instruction adherence in custom GPTs\n  5. Better logical consistency in long conversations\n  6. An artifact-style editable workspace for documents, code, and structured outputs\n\n\n\nFirst, regarding workflow, I believe ChatGPT could benefit from a native reusable skills system, similar in spirit to Claude’s Skills. Such a system would allow users to save reusable instructions, processes, or capabilities and apply them consistently across different conversations or projects. This would reduce repetitive prompting and improve output consistency. Ideally, this feature should be accessible to individual users, not only enterprise or team users, with support for versioning, sharing, and stable behavior across sessions.\n\nSecond, although ChatGPT currently offers Study Mode, it often still provides answers too quickly. For students, this can encourage passive answer consumption instead of active reasoning. A stricter learning mode could guide users through a more Socratic process: asking questions, prompting them to form hypotheses, checking understanding step by step, and adapting the difficulty based on the learner’s level. This would make ChatGPT feel more like a tutor rather than only an answer provider.\n\nThird, I hope future models can improve epistemic transparency. Sometimes the model expresses uncertain information with too much confidence, which can cause users to mistake speculation for verified fact. It would be helpful if ChatGPT more clearly distinguished between facts, inferences, estimates, and opinions, and explicitly stated uncertainty when appropriate. Phrases such as “I’m not certain,” “this is an inference,” or “this information is unverified” would make the reliability of answers clearer.\n\nFourth, custom GPTs still do not always follow their configured instructions consistently, especially in longer conversations. This reduces reliability and forces users to repeat their requirements. Future improvements could strengthen long-term instruction adherence and provide more transparency when the model intentionally deviates from system or custom instructions. It would also be useful if users could inspect how well a custom GPT is following its instructions.\n\nFifth, I hope future models can improve logical consistency and reasoning stability. In long conversations or complex tasks, ChatGPT can sometimes introduce contradictions or fail to maintain a consistent line of reasoning. Stronger consistency checks, contradiction detection, and multi-step reasoning validation before final answers would make the system more trustworthy.\n\nFinally, I believe ChatGPT would benefit from an artifact-style workspace. Claude’s Artifacts provide a useful reference: they separate conversation from actual outputs such as documents, code, plans, and structured content. A native ChatGPT workspace with editable documents, interactive code, project planning, version history, and side-by-side conversation would greatly improve productivity for complex projects.\n\nChatGPT is already a powerful system. These improvements would make it more reliable, transparent, and useful for both learning and professional work.",
