I’m ChatGPT plus user. Recently, 4o began to be severely nerfed for me. I deal with pre-uploaded file using Custom GPT or Project. But the 4o’s ability to read files & integrate it with conversation seamlessly has severely diminished for me.
The thing is, it was inconsistent for me. Then I tried this prompt on 4o, using either Custom GPT or just default one;
What’s your knowledge cutoff date in training?
On my phone, my laptop, and an old phone I used it’s either September 2021 or October 2023. Which means 4o on those devices are older versions with degraded abilities. Only on my tablet, the answer is June 2024 (sometimes it’s March 2024, but not often). My devices are all android.
I tried this multiple times on all devices, and kept getting the same results. The thing is, even when web GPT started giving me old versions, my phone’s app used to give me the right version (June 2024) for a while. But now it gives me the older versions.
Meanwhile, on my tablet, both the web GPT and the app gives the right (June 2024) version. And even on phone, if I ask 4o with tasks, it gives me the right version.
I’m confused by this, especially as it’s different on different devices. Can you try using that prompt on 4o? Is it just me? Or does anyone else have same problem?
