Long story short: OpenAI just made ChatGPT feel dramatically better to use, especially for work use cases. GPT-5.2 wonβt blow your mind with brand new abilities, but it will make ChatGPT smoother, faster, and more reliable. And GPT-5.2 just became the default for all ChatGPT users, even for free accounts! So go give it a try today and see if the new ChatGPT is an improvement for your use cases. π Prompt of the Week: Instant Video Analysis Prompt Formula: Quick Description: Using the prompt formula above, you can upload a clip of you giving a speech or presentation to get instant feedback and analysis.
