The chat experience *is* ChatGPT. Now it's squirreled away in a sub section of a sub pane inside a vastly more-complex app. It's hard to imagine anybody who actually wants to use ChatGPT wants to use it this way, Electron or not. And as a Codex user, I resent having my Codex deleted and renamed 'ChatGPT' instead. I don't want my 'chats' anywhere near my 'work'. This feels like a stupid move that will decimate casual ChatGPT desktop usage

@stroughtonsmith@mastodon.social to me it feels intentional, they want to move people away from chats (that doesn’t accumulate your usage limits) to Codex, to sell more expensive subs. One complex, deep-thinking question in Pro mode chat was free, now in Codex side it can suck 10% of your 5h quota.
