Opinion

I’m not ok for chat gpt

Garbage ChatGPT

Why you adding garbage chatGPT to viber and options no one is asking for ?!??! I don’t want translate because simple does not make sense. I am not chatting with some random people from other countries and languages . I have used viber for years but it is time to consider competition.

ChatGPT introduction has ruined Viber

I have been an avid user of Viber since 2009. Viber has been awesome for chatting with friends and family with good privacy and security independent from Google and Meta and other apps that want to harvest your data. Until this latest update, when ChatGPT was forced upon us without invitation. I don’t value or even want to see ChatGPT in my Viber interactions, but this update does NOT give me an option to remove all ChatGPT actions from my chats. It inserts uninvited and distracting “translate” and “summarise” messages throughout my chat. It inserts an unmovable “chat with ChatGPT” permanent chat which I can’t delete. And my complaints to Viber support are routinely met with no action, “you can just not use these features” glibly assuming that I should just suck it up. Unless Viber gives me the option very soon to turn ChatGPT features off completely to restore Viber to the ChatGPT-free beauty it was before this update, I may be forced to find another messaging app after 17 years as a particularly happy user. If ChatGPT is considered a positive feature just make it an opt-in feature not a mandated feature with no opt-out!
