GPT4 has been my go-to. However in the last couple weeks, it seems there is a noticeable decline in the quality of outputs. It is behaving a lot more like 4o: giving senseless answers and not following prompts. This never happened before but it is happening consistently now. It will completely ignore commands in short and simple prompts. Just today I have given up on “do not use semicolons or dashes” as it will do the same thing every time. The outputs are also illogical.
have the same issue with my prompts. does not follow them and repeats the same vague answers
Yes, this is my experience. It has been ignoring my prompts and promising to answer me if I “give it a moment”.
Something that I have found to be helpful is to refrain from using negatives such as telling it “not” to do something. Instead perhaps use terms like “avoid”, “refrain”, “exclude”, etc.
It’s TERRIBLE as of late. Ignoring prompts. Hallucinating. I truly don’t understand what they did to mess things up. Seriously considering dropping the $200 a month fee. IS ANYONE LISTENING AT ANTROPIC? I left Claude because of these types of issues.
