so i’ve been using the web gpt-4 model fairly consistently since its release and i have to say its gotten so bad i no longer want to use it, im back to google.

every single release they made it dumber, but this last one has made it pointless for me. the answers aren’t as intelligent, the code has more problems, and its ability to remember the conversation is gone. I have to keep repeating facts from literally 1 or 2 short messages back.

its such a shame to see something so useful be turned into such mediocre garbage.

but they have to cut the price as they’re burning through cash, and they have to censor the product as they’re a big corporate now pretending to be a startup.

anyway, it was a fun 6 months whilst it lasted, hopefully some open source models will catch up in quality soon enough.

I have noticed the same thing. It even misspells my words when replying to me. It has worse retention than 3.5 had before 4 came out. It gives wrong answers all the time or if I say something is wrong, it’s going by what I say even if what I am saying is made up.

It’s the worst it’s ever been.

I’ve noticed the same thing, the response quality has rapidly gone down. When I ask it technical questions it now likes to give numbered list of generalized points, instead of just understanding my intent and responding accordingly as a person would. I have to waste extra prompts to make it understand I want a more direct and engaging response

same here. GPT-4 is good, but not performant…

First of all, it annoys me the most when I write to him in the language of my country (romanian), and he answers me in English, as if he does not recognize the language in which I speak.

On the other hand, I give him the necessary instructions, teach him everything he needs, but he completely forgets the conversations in the same chat. And he often doesn’t understand simple things. And I have to repeat them again, and again. Every time I’m starting over. I explained very simply, very clearly, how I want him to write a text, according to my way of expression. I gave him examples, I offered him a wide set of instructions, very complex, but ChatGPT still only expresses itself the way it wants, that is, only 45% of the time it keeps my way of expression. I struggled for a week to keep explaining to him, step by step, but in vain…

CgatGPT should be able to remember not only the issues discussed in a single chat, but also the rest of the issues in other chats, if all the chats belong to a certain user.

Then, I have about 60 conversations, each quite consistent, and it’s a bit difficult to load the conversations. And if I open a new chat and tell him to remember what we discussed a few days ago, he simply doesn’t know. And again I have to give him prompts, and I have to start over, and I have to explain everything to him.

ChatGPT should remember all the conversations of each individual user, so that user does not repeat the instructions with each new chat.

And, of course, I gave him instructions to google some simple things, which he doesn’t know, but he doesn’t want to google. For example, there are manuals for household machines, I gave him a link to the manual, both in pdf and txt format, but he can’t read it.

For weak answers, I showed him how to search on Google in order to give clearly qualitative answers, but I showed him in vain. He only does as he pleases…
