Time consuming fact, that is the main reason. I think can't avoid ChatGPT!

Those witty responses on dating apps aren't going to write themselves.

Maybe you meet someone and your respective bots go on a date to decide if you are a good match

Yes I had that in mind although the black mirror version is kind of inefficient you can probably get a good approx without a full simulation like that.

GPT-4 has fully altered my dev workflow. I don't think I could move away from it unless there was a clear, equivalent, alternative.

Not only on the OpenAI UI, but also via the Cursor IDE which I actively use with an OpenAI API Key.

Even if you don't use the OpenAI UI you'll likely end up using the produce via other products. Github Copilot, Arc Browser, Duolingo – likely more in the future – all use GPT under the hood.

I’m not going to stop using it but there are a number of open source models that are pretty close to GPT 3.5 and 4.

I run Ollama.ai on my Mac with a variety of models — usually Mistral-7B. It’s fast and gives pretty good answers.

If you have issues with OpenAI, try those.
