ChatGPT got GPT-6, but you can't use it in Chat — confused?

ChatGPT just got GPT-6, except there’s a catch: you can’t actually use it in Chat. If that sentence makes absolutely no sense to you, I don’t blame you. Until now, you could use ChatGPT quite happily without giving much thought to the distinction between Chat and Work functionalities. I certainly did. It was just that little slider at the top of the screen I never bothered with. I suspect most of you are the same. Chat was where I talked to ChatGPT, while Work was something sitting alongside it that I could largely ignore because the Chat setting let me do almost everything I wanted. GPT-6 changes that.
