Fortunately for OpenAI, they have no SLAs: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5008641-is-there-an-sla-...

I say this as a huge fan of GPT, but it's amazing to me how terrible of a company OpenAI is and how quickly we've all latched onto their absolutely terrible platform. I had a bug that wouldn't let me login to my work OpenAI account at my new job 9 months ago. It took them 6 months to respond to my support request and they gave me a generic copy/paste answer that had nothing to do with my problem. We spend tons and to…

I also cannot login on Firefox (latest version) with strict privacy settings and AdNauseam on desktop.. and a few weeks ago they broke their website on iOS v14 as well for no apparent reason (it certainly didn't make me to download their app since that require v16.1+).

I used it for the first time today too, for the same reason. It was slower and much worse at coding. I was just asking it for SQL aggregation queries and it just ignored some of my requirements for the query.

ChatGPT was down, so of course it'd be slower. And possibly that accounts for some quality loss as well. For a fair comparison, you probably need to try while ChatGPT is working.

I had the opposite experience. I was trying to figure out what this weird lightbulb was that I had to replace, and it had no writing on it. I uploaded the description and picture to gpt4, and it just got it clearly wrong over and over. Tried bard, got it right in the first try, with links to the product. I was extremely impressed.

This is almost certainly just delegating to Google Lens, which indeed works great. Bard's probably just a middle man here.

I would think that ChatGPT is also delegating to some other subsystem.

People constantly recommend Bard to me, but it returns false and/or misleading info almost every time

Ah that’s interesting, did know bard had multi modal inputs.

Founder here. We have a VS Code extension that automatically fetches context from your codebase.

So if source available libraries are imported, they are also parsed by the AI? So if I create a GPT for my open-source library as a way to fund it, all these copilot etc. are going to compete with me? Just wondering because that would be a bummer to not have this avenue to fund open-source code.

I am not related to Phind or any other AI company, but yes, this is definitely the case, and you should assume that they will be ingesting your code through regular web scrapes now (giving extremely general knowledge about your library) and through reading specifically the library source code soon (this is what you are asking about here). If you wanted to try this strategy, I would suggest that you do it by providing the model with a large database of high-quality examples specific to your library (so, perhaps the examples section of your website, plus snippets from open source projects that use the library). These will probably be the last to be specifically ingested by general coding models.

Dammit, how do I do internal announcements in slack without a DALL-E picture?

Is dall-e down as well? I don't use it through chatgpt.

DALL-E 3 isn't available via API or labs. If you don't use ChatGPT you get the (significantly lower quality) DALL-E 2 at the moment. That's supposed to change by the end of fall.

One of the most frustrating things with "Open"AI is you can't just use what they announce as available, you have to wait for an A/B rollout (as a paying customer!) or for it to be accessible in direct way instead of going through multiple models when you just want an image.
