GPT has been severely downgraded

Yeah I can concur, this is extremely visible for several weeks now, it’s getting worse and worse. Also, this constant asking about providing the prompts and answers every time someone writes is missing the point. We’re not talking about a fun two sentence logic puzzle. I’m feeding it long parts of code, and asking it to refactor it. It’s not practical to post it here. You just have to trust the feeling of the users, that it is really gotten incredibly stupid. It forgets basic things in the next answer, and this definitely didn’t happen before. It seems like before the tokens were sufficient to cover multiple questions like that, and now they cover at most one question. Example: I paste a long code, ask it to refactor a particular short function from that code using the helper function also included in the code. Works fine. Next question i ask it to refactor another function from the code pasted before, using the same helper function. It hallucinates a helper function with the same name but different signature and behaviour and uses it for the refactoring. It doesn’t even print the imagined function. The code is therefore unusable.

And actually when I think about it, i never before asked it to refactor like that, using a specific function. I asked it to refactor so that the code is idiomatic and so on, and it did exactly what i wanted all by itself. Now the only way to get anything out of it is spoonfeeding.
