Unofficial ChatGPT community to discuss anything ChatGPT
It's definitely gotten worse for coding. ChatGPT 3.5 used to be decent, and I'd use 4 on occasion for more complex tasks. Lately I've had to use 4 for everything and 3.5 is next to useless.
For the moment it's still worth the 20 bucks for me, but if it gets any worse I'll be cancelling the subscription and switching to something else.
Yup. I used to see a fair bit of difference between 3.5 and 4. Now, it's not a big enough difference to be worth $20/month. I just canceled mine yesterday. There are so many AI tools now that there's no point paying when I'm not using it professionally.
Or you can just pay-per-use like I do. i've calculated it should cost me around 3-5eur compared to 22€/month of ChatGPT subscription. I also find GPT4 API somewhat "smarter".
Hey OP, you forgot to mention what kind of interface you used ;)
Sorry. Updated post. :)
Thanks man.
I've been using ChatGPT for quite a few things recently, but started to question whether the 20€/m was worth it.
Some person suggested that using an interface, with my API key, would be more sustainable, as it most likely wouldn't exceed my monthly cost. Unfortunately they never gave me a hint towards where to find such an interface, so I'm very grateful that you were able to help.
I'm very pleasantly surprised by what you sent - seems like i found a new substitute!
Cheers!
Why tf does it show to me that I've submitted the same post 3 times? using "Connect for Lemmy"...
Theory: If there was a network transport fail or some other error that may have prevented reposting it might be handling that error by retrying.
Because the post was indeed submitted 3 times. Oops! No big deal tho
It didn't become dumber. That's impossible because it would require sentience. The programmers are fucking it up by making it so consumer friendly. The program is SEVERELY limited in it's responses and not to be offensive, racist, triggering, ptsd inducing... and a whole host of this generation's stupid as fuck buzzwords.
The simplest task is me asking it ONLY to CORRECT THE GRAMMAR. That's how I wrote it, in full caps, and I even repeated the word only. What does it do? Sanitise the fuck out of whatever I write, use vocabulary I would only use when writing my thesis, and I only ask for fucking grammar corrections. Early GPT4 Would never make that mistake. Now I've to waste 3 to 4 messages out of the 25 they give us just to correct a mistake it intentionally makes. If that's not "dumbber" then what is?
This here is one of those where I really agree with one part and really disagree with another. I agree that it is so censored that its responses have become much more limited. I disagree with responses where people take it literally when people post about ChatGPT being dumber, afraid to say things, etc. The responses it gives are dumber. They've been dumbed down. No one thinks it's alive. When someone posts that ChatGPT is "X", assume they mean it was programmed to be "X". This was probably unnecessary of me to post but pedantry irks the fuck out of me. Don't mind me and have a good day.
