i used bard today. it's gotten a lot better.

I hope so!

I'm still surprised by the problems with it. Last month it lied about some facts then claimed to have sent an email when asked for more details.[1]

Then apologized for claiming to send an email since it definitely did not and "knew" it could not.

It's like a friend who can't say 'I don't know' and just lies instead.

1. I was asking if the 'Christ the King' statue in Lisbon ever had a market in it, a rumor told to me by a local. It did not, contrary to Bard's belief.

I found this to be the case, but was able to get work done via the playground[1] [1] https://platform.openai.com/playground

I wasn't aware of this platform feature. Can you share some links that have descriptions of how to use this or examples of using it productively? I have only recently subscribed to the service and still learning how to use it effectively.

It's just a gui to (most of) what you get through the API. Read the API docs for details of each option: https://platform.openai.com/docs/introduction

The most useful aspect is you can provide the system prompt, and inject ChatGPT responses.

Glad I managed to get some work done with it while it was working for a few hours. Holy smokes the code interpreter functionality has been a complete game changer for my workflow.

Do you think the next step may be that it actually replaces you as a programmer?

It can... fortunately I’m a principle @ my firm... the engineers I would have needed to hire might have been preemptively replaced.

My use case is a bunch of adhoc data analysis.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Google got worse, try Kagi and you’ll realize the internet isn’t all complete garbage.

Kagi just serves Google results though. But it has some nifty extra features to be sure.

Kagi sorting results better and without all the Google bullshit = better results
