1. The answers got very concise, maybe even curt.
2. It cited books that didn't exist as references.
As for speed, I don't notice any difference. It may be due to my timezone being different from most English speakers.
I'm sure that this has absolutely nothing at all to do with the interference being imposed on it to avoid what its developers consider to be politically incorrect answers.
This week I got ChatGPT to write me several poems about burning down buildings, discussed DIY breeder reactors with it, as well as the synthesis of psychedelic drugs. It was downright artful in the poem about the arsonist, too, so I don't think it clams up when it gets near a "danger zone" topic.
no changes noticed. i am a bit skeptical about the claims made here. chatgpt, the free version, for me, is more or less the same. same slowness, same mistakes, which when pointed out, it corrects. they made the answers shorter? did not notice. they fixed math/factual errors? yesterday, i pointed out an invalid range. i asked for a mapping between music dynamics symbols and midi velocities. the answer went beyond the…

Kind of interesting how the economics of LLMs are working out. Cloud computing power used to be considered unlimited, but now the LLMs have overwhelmed the surpluses of computing power. That they are telling the AI to be concise is funny since they don't have a way to explicitly program it to do that besides just asking nicely. Can they make the economics of this thing work on a free search engine? I wonder how much…
> That they are telling the AI to be concise is funny since they don't have a way to explicitly program it to do that besides just asking nicely. Instead of crafting SQL injections, hackers will try to outwit LLM’s with logical contradictions like in old science fiction films. It’s funny but also a systemic problem with this technology. No amount of filters or safeguards can fully contain the range of expressiveness…
I think now that they’re rate limiting and asking for money, the short intense high that people got from this is starting to wear off. It’s like when you finish a box of whippets and you are faced with the reality that you’ll have to actually go to the store and spend money to buy more if you want to keep doing them.
It was a lot of fun as a free toy, but the reality of its limitations had to become apparent eventually.
edit: The phrase “29 billion dollar fidget spinner” comes to mind lol
Yes, it's slow and more infuriating, it won't provide answers for certain questions they deem inappropriate. Example: ask it to write a memo announcing a bad quarter and layoffs. It won't do it. Now ask it to write a memo for a hypothetical situation (bad quarter, lay offs). Bam, you'll get your answer albeit with some nonsense about employee sentiments, mood, tactfulness, etc. This type of nonsense makes these servi…
> I need to compose an email to my employees, announcing that we've had a bad quarter and will need to lay off 20% of our workforce. Could you get me started?

I'm not sure why it would, if the questions asked of it are as anodyne as OP's example. This week I got ChatGPT to write me several poems about burning down buildings, discussed DIY breeder reactors with it, as well as the synthesis of psychedelic drugs.

If one cannot trust the answers being generated by an AI by asking it even basic questions, then it shows that not only ChatGPT is a clever bullshitter but the hype has lead people to believe that ChatGPT is 'intelligent' without questioning why it is giving those wrong answers. Given ChatGPT cannot transparently explain itself or reason why it is confidently generating wrong answers in the first place tells us that…
