GPT-4 is not the same product. I know it seems like it due to the way they position 3.5 and 4 on the same page, but they are really quite separate things. When I signed up for ChatGPT plus I didn't even bother using 3.5 because I knew it would be inferior. I still have only used it a handful of times. GPT-4 is just so much farther ahead that using 3.5 is just a waste of time.

Would you mind sharing some threads where you thought ChatGPT was useful? These discussions always feel like I’m living on a different planet with a different implementation of large language models than others who claim they’re great. The problems I run into seem to stem from the fundamental nature of this class of products.

The usefulness of ChatGPT is a bit situational, in my experience. But in the right situations it can be pretty powerful.

Take a look at https://chat.openai.com/share/41bdb053-facd-448b-b446-1ba1f1... for example.

Here's a convo I had yesterday when thinking about how to print a Binary Search Tree.

I use ChatGPT for all sorts of things - looking into visas for countries, coding, reverse engineering companies from job descriptions, brainstorming etc etc.

It saves a lot of time and gives way more value than what you pay for it.

I agree that none of the problems people have mentioned above happen with GPT4.

It used to be more reliable when web browsing worked, but it's still pretty reliable.
