Would think that OpenAI would need to drop pricing soon then. Or release v5 I guess.

Charging 20 bucks for something available for free somewhere else is a little spicy

I keep asking myself why I pay... copilot ios did seem a bit busy and slow, but i'm close to ending my chatgpt at this rate

Weird text input box. It doesn’t auto-capitalize new sentences? I wonder what that box is doing in the background with every word I type.

Anyone know if this is something that has changed in iOS?

I've noticed that Twitch chat in their iOS app no longer capitalises sentences recently too.

Has anyone been able to login to the app? The sign in button does nothing when I click on it, and the sign in link in the "default chat" just takes me to a blank page. It's been like this for 2 days now. I'm somewhat assuming it's a weird regional behaviour...my Apple account is based in Canada but I am physically in Europe. Is this not available in Europe, and it's tripping out since I'm connecting from a European I…

I signed in with no problems using my MS account.

I’ve noticed that iCloud private relay messes with things sometimes. Website that claim I have to prove my identity time and time again aren’t uncommon. I have to turn it off to get them to work. Could that be affecting you?

I'm at home and just double checked that Private Relay is off for my network here, and it is (off), so that doesn't seem to be the issue :/

has anyone done a comparison of gpt-4 vs. the gpt-4 that microsoft says is being included in most of it's products these days?

I want to say they both aren't exactly the same, as I noticed through some responses to same questions by each, but I am interested in a detailed analysis if anyone has done that.

That is very well possible and can be due to one of the many parameters of the LLM being different, like the temperature for instance.

The OS has not changed. This can be checked in any standard text box, like the comment fields here. Presumably they wanted a custom text box to do some kind of processing as the user types and did not bother re-implementing the standard behaviour properly.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think this app biases towards searching online, which is very different than what ChatGPT does. Similarly it can’t do data analysis or equivalent Dall-e image generation. But yeah it can go a long way?

> or equivalent Dall-e image generation Copilot on windows and android can do Dall-E image generation; I don't see why it wouldn't be able to on iOS

It is. I checked earlier today.
