To be honest, when I say it has significantly worsened, I am comparing to the time when GPT-4 just came out. It really felt like we were on the verge of 'AGI'. In 3 hours, I coded up a complex piece of web app with chatgpt which completely remembered what we have been doing the whole time. So, it's sad that they have decided against the public having access to such strong models (and I do think it's intentional, not some side-effect of safety alignments though that might have contributed to the decision).

I'm guessing it's not about safety, but about money. They're losing money hand over fist, and their popularity has forced them to scale back the compute dedicated to each response. Ten billion in Azure credits just doesn't go very far these days.

Have you tried feeding the exact same prompt in to the API or the playground?

i mean i feel like its fairly plausible that the smarter model costs more, and access to GPT-4 is honestly quite cheap all thing considered. Maybe in the future theyll have more price tiers.
