im sad but relieved in a way to have just found this thread.
I use chatGPT heavily for coding at work. It was mindblowing when I first used 4.0, and since then has become my daily go to tool, I even referred alot of friends outside my industry who have not used it for work.
But the past few weeks, I have observed a complete degradation in the quality of its responses… I just researched and stumbled on this thread which verifies my suspicion… At first I suspected my prompts were the cause, or maybe the custom instructions, but as I said, im a daily active user, and very confident that its not the way im crafting the prompts.
Sadly it looks like its time to consider parting ways with ChatGPT.
I used to be so satisfied that I have never even tested its competitors, but looks like I will be cancelling my subscription if any of the competitors prove to be more effective.
