(Writing on mobile so excuse any typos)
I am a writer who wanted to use AI to cut time down significally by letting it help with Structuring, Proof-Reading etc, the boring stuff (no not actuall content generation).
The free Version was really promising already, but lacked a way to really sort stuff, like a folder (so i dont constantly need to scroll/prevent mix ups by GPT during longer sessions). So I was totally hooked once i heard about the Canvas-System.
But man was that a disapointment. While open Chat working with GPT3.5 took like 1 Week of light work for the first mix ups, GPT+ had difficulties the first day of light work (not even at the canvas problem), mixups/difficulties remembering the right thing.
Now the Canvas, what I have seen during 3 Days of Version 4o:
- it constanly chose the wrong things even if i typed out “Add X right after Row Y”
- while doing editing it sometimes removed entire sections
- it often changed entire paragraphs to “this part stays the same”, not collapsing it but actually changing it to this statement. (Tested it by downloading/telling GPT to export it. It took 6(!) Commands to reload to finally get GPT to present all the Information again.
- it sometimes went into a “editing death loop”, i say: Change this to Canvas X, but it overwrites totally Canvas Y. When telling it to correct, it then starts looping, costantly overwriting Canvas Y. This would go on until i tell it tl reset to a certain time.
It quickly became a huge gamble, if GPT scrambles a Canvas or notm
I had those problems both on Phone and PC. This tool most definetly wont save time like this. Cant recommend for a writhing tool/assistant
