DAE pay for a custom GPT and feel totally ripped off?

I spent about $200 on a custom GPT setup for my cleaning business, thinking it would help write client emails and schedule posts. The guy who made it promised it would learn my voice, but after a week, it was just spitting out weird, robotic stuff that didn't sound like me at all. I tried feeding it more examples, but it never got better, and now I'm back to writing everything myself. Has anyone else had a good experience with one of these, or should I just cut my losses?

My buddy had the exact same thing happen with his bakery's social media. The bot kept writing captions about "optimal crumb structure" instead of just saying the muffins were fresh. He wasted like $150 and a ton of time trying to fix it.

Man, that's so frustrating for your buddy, @aaron_flores84. It's like these bots get stuck in a weird textbook mode and miss the whole point. I mean, who talks about "crumb structure" unless they're in a baking contest? Just say the muffins are good. Feels like a total waste of money when you have to fix the fixer.
