Operator review: tweets, news, builders
The author spent $200 on ChatGPT Operator and tested it on tweet analysis, AI news summaries, website builder pricing lists, and article summaries.
It returned duplicate and months-old tweets, summarized one news source, copied a single listicle, and stopped to ask permission mid-task. The author says productivity dropped.
