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…

It's probably just growing pains with iOS stuff and will work eventually

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.

ChatGPT is actually just Sam Altman https://twitter.com/sama

~~explain.~~ Explain, please. If you'd like to.

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.

Are you using text-to-speech perchance?

The daily limit is 300. It's 30 per conversation. It was actually unlimited before. They limited because on long conversations it gets "unaligned".

It seems any sufficiently unconstrained AI eventually approximates Hitler over time.

As long as it's just an approximation.

What is with Facebook and Microsoft ? I recently installed Facebook messenger on android and it literally had ads in the chat list itself. Yuck. Same for Microsoft. At least I don't have to use any ms product but everything has ads now ?? Why ?

Because you don't pay $20/mo. for GPT? The compute isn't free...

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.

It's a finetuned version of GPT4 for some scenarios (more chatty, with "Sydney" personality).

They are testing GPT4-Turbo, which seems to be closer (or the same) to ChatGPT style and quality of answer. But there will be a new, separated option to enable "Sydney".

Worth to point out that Balanced is not running pure GPT4. It runs multiple models. Only Creative/Precise runs GPT4 only.

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.

Ahh that does make sense. They do things like turn their emotes "LUL" etc into images inline so I imagine they're doing something custom with it
