Has OpenAI provided an explanation for the very clear degradation of ChatGPT’s performance with the GPT4 model? Since the last two updates, it is significantly faster (which is fundamentally useless when we are capped at 25 messages in 3 hours…), suggesting that computational power has been reduced,…

I feel exactly the same. The new model is unable to keep track of the conversation. Before it was reliable and rock solid. Now it is unable to do the tasks some few days ago nailed. Under these conditions this model is useless for me. Totally deceiving.

One observation to mention is that some users started reporting issues months ago while others state it started happening a few days ago.

This has already happened before. Basically, when ChatGPT launched, the ChatGPT’s output was similar to the output of Davinci-003. It was varied and rich. Gradually, the quality downgraded while the speed of generation increased. Finally, we were presented with GPT-3.5-turbo which is much worse tha…

Here’s a perfect example of plain stupidity I haven’t seen before in GPT4. This comes from a conversation about this code block where the locations, functions and context has been explained in detail many times. My prompt starts after GPT made a mistake in a code block in the previous response and I…

The context has suddenly nose dived as of this week. I can completely tell because chatGPT-4 is failing on simply remembering the last coding answer, and refusing to fill it in fully or with my code I posted. It often tells me it is just giving me examples now. What has changed??? It’s obvious now,…

I also found this thread because ChatGPT 4 has clearly taken a nosedive in quality. It used to be a helper in coding. Now, with SQL it will use the wrong column, it will continue to use the wrong column even when you tell it not to use the wrong column and where it made the mistake. And it will in…

Fully agree. I keep running into the same issues now. I ask it to update the SQL types from time to varchar for some columns in a DB table, it changes the name of the table, which I missed to notice, so when I loaded it it obviously didn’t work. Then in another thread where we’ve been working on a …

I see a lot of vindication here @radiator57 [image] Matei Zaharia @matei_zaharia Lots of people are wondering whether #GPT4 and #ChatGPT 's performance has been changing over time, so Lingjiao Chen, @james_y_zou and I measured it. We found big changes including some large decreases in som…

I’ve read the paper, and it’s certainly interesting. One thing that did stand out to me though is they did not publish any system prompts they used and it is known that 0613 was supposed to be better at adhering to the system prompt than 0314 was. Their GitHub repo also doesn’t include any code fo…

System prompt? The part where the title of the paper is ChatGPT. Upon examination though, they write the brand name - and completely discard the whole notion of what ChatGPT is - a web platform with its own conversation management system that dramatically affects the perceived skill when it is re-t…
