There is a worry expressed in the article about inequality arising from some students having paid access to gpt4 whereas the bulk of the students only get access to gpt3.5. I'm hoping to see openai release an update to the 3.5 model that makes this gap in performance be less relevant.

That would be against there money making model ? But I think considering 110k users, they can reconsider there business.

Wow, maybe this is how we'll overtake the nordic countries in test scores?

True. Like how mathematics declined once the calculator was introduced. Those abacus civilisations are still laughing at our stupidity.

If chatgpt was a more sophisticated tool for engaging with the same concepts that would be similar, but its not. Chatgpt isnt a pencil vs a typewriter, its a stochastic parrot, one of the worst applications i could imagine it being used for is helping develop young peoples' world views.

funny how google translate reads it as "the Swedish Education Agency" despite it being norweigan. deepl gets it right anyone with more knowledge of scandi languages able to understand why? is the "swedish" (or "norweigan") part implied?

Norwegian here. I assume you mean "Utdanningsetaten", which literally translates to "The Education Agency". Apparently sweden does not use the same name, as their word for education is slightly different (utbildning instead of utdanning). Not sure why the translator got it so wrong.

It’s GPT 3.5 though.

Much faster, 10x cheaper and still good enough for most things.

I don't think gpt-4 is worth its 10fold price premium for all but niche usecases (coding may be one but I don't do that too much). And the much longer response delays are annoying.

I think 3.5 turbo is a really nice general use model. And the price difference makes it worry free (I use it a lot and most months I used less than $1) whereas gpt-4 really tends to trigger disturbing invoices after using it a bit :)

I still have 4 on tap for a second opinion if I'm dissatisfied with gpt-3.5 but in general it doesn't really yield much better results, whereas better prompt engineering helps much more with both models.

Of course YMMV but I wouldn't write gpt-3.5 off just because it's no longer the coolest kid on the block.
