The vast knowledge trove of Google can't be understated, even if sometimes the model isn't as competent at certain tasks as OpenAI's GPT models.

If there's one thing that's becoming clear in the open source LLM world, it's that the dataset really is the 'secret sauce' for LLMs. There are endless combinations of various datasets plus foundation model plus training approach, and by far the key determinant of end model performance seems to be the dataset used.

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 mo…

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'd be curious to hear about the workflows people have come up with using ChatGPT. I'm still in the realm of "I don't know how to do this" or "I forgot the exact incantation to that" or "is the an X that does Y in framework Z?"

I just make sure to ask it really clear questions. I like how it encourages you to think about specification versus implementation. State a clear problem, get clear suggestions. Ask a clear question, get a clear answer. (Usually.)

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

What makes you think ChatGPT isn't also returning false and/or misleading info? Maybe you just haven't noticed... Personally, I struggle with anything even slightly technical from all of the current LLM's. You really have to know enough about the topic to detect BS when you see it... which is a significant problem for those using it as a learning tool.
