Making Useful Features Harder to Use Is Not an Improvement
I’d like to raise two interface choices that I genuinely think have made the experience worse.
The first is the “Listen” button. It used to be immediately accessible, and now it’s hidden inside the three-dot menu. Congratulations: a simple and useful function has been turned into a small daily treasure hunt. I understand the appeal of minimalism, but hiding features does not automatically make the design better.
The second thing I find rather poor in taste is the constant presence of “Like / Dislike” feedback under responses.
I completely understand that you want user feedback, but displaying it after every single answer gives the impression that ChatGPT is constantly looking for reassurance: “Did you like it? Did I do well? Are you sure? Would you like to press the little thumb?”
It feels a bit pathetic.
Feedback should be available when users want to give it, not visually begged for after every response. A smart interface should convey confidence, not look like an application permanently seeking approval.
I would therefore suggest:
* bringing the “Listen” button back as an immediately visible action;
* allowing users to customise which quick actions are shown;
* making “Like / Dislike” less intrusive or optional.
Sometimes improving an interface simply means not making something worse when it was already working perfectly well.

Rosie from the Jetsons, R2-D2 and BB-8 (but NOT C-3PO!!) from Star Wars, Robot from lost in Space. ChatGPT is the precursor for that. A very helpful resource!
