Well, my advice is don’t feel too bad.
I am one of the most active tech guys here helping people, perhaps even the most active over the past week, month and quarter, and OpenAI does not seem to want me to help people with gpt-4 technical issues here. I have been on the waitlist and have no email welcoming me to gpt-4 either !!
So, my advice is to not feel too bad. You are not alone!
I modified my OpenAI Lab I use to help people daily, the first day (see below) gpt-4 was announced, but of course it gives an error since I’m not “approved”, just like you.
HTH
Appendix: Error: {“message”=>“The model: gpt-4 does not exist”…)
You are not alone.
