Why would anyone pay for something if the free trial doesn’t work? “Hey, you know how we gave you a product that doesn’t quit work as you expect and is super frustrating? Just pay us money, and we’ll give you the same product, but it just works. Just trust us!”
GPT-4 is not the same product. I know it seems like it due to the way they position 3.5 and 4 on the same page, but they are really quite separate things. When I signed up for ChatGPT plus I didn't even bother using 3.5 because I knew it would be inferior. I still have only used it a handful of times. GPT-4 is just so much farther ahead that using 3.5 is just a waste of time.
Would you mind sharing some threads where you thought ChatGPT was useful? These discussions always feel like I’m living on a different planet with a different implementation of large language models than others who claim they’re great. The problems I run into seem to stem from the fundamental nature of this class of products.

#363I know this, FTA, was part of the reason for the delay -- something to do with face recognition: "We’ve also taken technical measures to significantly limit ChatGPT’s ability to analyze and make direct statements about people since ChatGPT is not always accurate and these systems should respect individuals’ privacy."
Anyone know the details?
I also heard it was able to do near-perfect CAPTCHA solves in the beta?
Does anyone know if you can throw in a PDF that has no OCR on it and have it summarize it with this?

Talking to Google and Siri has been positively frustrating this year. On long solo drives, I just want to have a conversation to learn about random things. I've been itching to "talk" to chatGPT and learn more (french | music theory | history | math | whatever) all summer. This should hit the spot!
I still don't understand how you can talk to something that doesn't provide factual information and just take it at face value? The other day I asked it about the place I live and it made up nonsense, I was trying to get it to help me with an essay and it was just wrong, it was telling me things about this region that weren't real. Do we just drive through a town, ask for a made up history about it and just be satisf…

#365We should be fine as long as it doesn't move. Jokes aside, I have paused my subscription because even GPT4 seemed to become dumber at tasks to the point that I barely used it, but the constant influx of new features is tempting me to renew it just to check them out...
I read this all the time and yet no one can seem to come up with even a few questions from several months ago that ChatGPT has become “worse” at. You would think if this is happening it would be very easy to produce such evidence since chat history of all conversations is stored by default.
Everytime it’s mentioned someone says this and other users provide examples. Maybe you just don’t care about those examples

Re: We are beginning to roll out new voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT
#367I'm in IT but nowhere near AI/ML/NN. The speed of user-visible progress last 12 months is astonishing. From my firm conviction 18 months ago that this type of stuff is 20+ years away; to these days wondering if Vernon Vinge's technological singularity is not only possible but coming shortly. If feels some aspects of it have already hit the IT world - it's always been an exhausting race to keep up with modern technolo…
I also don't believe LLMs are "conscious", but I also don't know what that means, and I have yet to see a definition of "statistically guessing next word" that cannot be applied to what a human brain does to generate the next word.
> I have yet to see a definition of "statistically guessing next word" that cannot be applied to what a human brain does to generate the next word.
The human brain obviously doesn't work that way. Consider the very common case of tiny humans that are clearly intelligent but lack the facilities of language.
Re: We are beginning to roll out new voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT
#368I'd like to see them put speech recognition through their LLM as a post-processing step. I find it's fairly common for whisper to make small but obvious mistakes (for example a word which is complete nonsense in the context of the sentence) which could be easily corrected for a similar sounding word that fits into the wider context of the sentence. Is anyone doing this? Is there a reason it doesn't work as well as I'…
Do you mean use the LLM as a post-processing step within a ChatGPT conversation? Or generally (like as part of Whisper)? If it’s the former, I’ve found that ChatGPT is good at working around transcription errors. Regarding the latter, I agree, but it wouldn’t be hard to use the GPT API for that.
Yes I mean as part of the GUI but you're right, I hadn't thought of that: maybe transcription errors don't matter if chatGPT works out that it's wrong from the context and gives a correct answer anyway.
Re: We are beginning to roll out new voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT
#369My biggest complaint with OpenAI/ChatGPT is their horrible "marketing" (for lack of a better term). They announce stuff like this (or like plugins), I get excited, I go to use it, it hasn't rolled out to me yet (which is frustrating as a paying customer), and my only recourse is.... check back daily? They never send an email "Plugins are available for you!", "Voice chat is now enabled on your account!" and so often I…
They have gone from being a niche research company to being (probably) the fastest growing start-up in history. I suspect they do care about communicating with customers, but it's total chaos and carnage internally.
Yeah but to be honest, I'd wonder how such a simple thing falls to the wayside.

Whether or not you’re profitable has very little to do with how valuable others think you are. And usually having competitors is something that validates your market.
> And usually having competitors is something that validates your market.
Don't users validate your market? ChatGPT has plenty of users, so I would think competitors only hurt their value.
