The reason it's worse is basically because it's more 'safe' (not racist, etc). That of course sounds insane, and doesn't mean that safety shouldn't be strived for, etc - but there's an explanation as to how this occurs. It occurs because the system essentially does a latent classification of problems into 'acceptable' or 'not acceptable' to respond to. When this is done, a decent amount of information is lost regardi…

It was a great ride while it lasted. My assumption is that efficacy at coding tasks is such a small percent of users, they’ve just sacrificed it on the altar of efficiency and/or scale. That, or they’ve cut some back room deal with Microsoft to make Copilot have access to the only version of the model that can actually code.
Also the deal to make the browsing model to only use Bing. That's bait and switch. I paid for browsing, and now it only browses Bing. They even had the gall to update the plugin name to Browsing with Bing.
This is the normal workflow for drug dealers too. The first fix is free. The second one will cost you money. The third one will be laced with fillers and have degraded quality.

Try out Bard, it's coding is much improved in the last 2 weeks. I've unfortunately switched over for the time being.
I just tried Bard based on this comment, and it's really, really bad. Can you please help me with how you are prompting it?
Yes. Seems to have definitely gone down. Not sure what they have done but even with things it used have no trouble with, it struggles now. Most likely they are experimenting on reducing the compute per request.
I did notice the rate limiting message isn't there anymore when using GPT-4.
Quite bizarre. It's good to know that it's not a conspiracy theory

What law prohibits Google from making Bard available outside the USA?
It's blocked in the EU because they don't want to/can't comply with GDPR.
The researchers who worked on the "sparks of AGI" paper noted that the more OpenAI worked on aligning GPT-4 the less competent it became. I'm guessing that trend is continuing...
Ahh, you apparently phrased what I said below in a much less inflamatory way. But the end result is the same. The more they try to influence the answers, the less useful they get. I see a startup model: Create GPT without a muzzle and grab a sizeable chunk of OpenAI userbase.
