Earlier quoted context omitted.

Here's gpt4, it's formatting is better but this is the text. Though this isn't really the right way to use it, single responses miss a large amount of the potential imo.

I get this is in jest, but I think the actual solution is to use image classification with a framework of normal code to glue it together. GPT-4 could help you code it…

It's completely broken. I couldn't even get one full response from one of the AIs, it always gets stuck near to the completion of the first response. After like 5 tries it told me that I used all my requests. lol.

Same :( I just wanted to see what Google's Flan would give to "77 + 3 * 11" and it says "Something went wrong" and now I'm rate limited

Well it's not broken, I'd assume they limit the `max_tokens` to minimize costs.

GPT-4 is miles ahead of the competition. It's not even remotely close. I asked it to help me design an app for a specific use case. It came up with a list of features, the tech stack, and even designed an initial database.

Yes and no. Or, yes for such use cases you mentioned, also it is miles ahead in reasoning capability, translations from Chinese, etc. etc. But still, for more casual talk, like bouncing ideas, brainstorming etc., I prefer Claude. It's kind of more "friendly", less formal, and, which is sometimes also important, much quicker.

Very nice! If you want to add a feature, feel free to make use of https://github.com/osteele/prompt-matrix.js , which I (well, ChatGPT and I) created for use in my own playground so that I could enter e.g. "Write a program to look for anagrams, in the style of ".

To be clear, that’s a link to a library meant for use in projects like yours. I’m not promoting a competing project (and haven’t provided a link to one).

Have you used GPT-4 via the API or via ChatGPT only? The difference is huge, as with the API you can control the parameter + you can set your own system prompt (basically steer the AI better).

With the API, you can basically customize the session ranging from providing batshit bananas replies (by setting high temperature) or almost deterministic replies (by setting low temperature) with personality controlled by the system prompt, so you can make it "friendlier", "less formal" or anything else.

It is still as slow via the API as via ChatGPT though, which kind of sucks when you're using it for longer passages. I do wish it was just about 100% faster.
