they’re well at the top of the S-curve and now there’s only desperate over-engineering and bolting on special cases left
I still cannot believe that they couldn’t special-case count 'R' in "strawberry" for their Strawberry model like what the fuck
Hell, I could probably special-case that shit, and I’m barely a programmer.
Update: As a matter of fact, I did. Here’s some Python code to prove it:
# Counts how many times a particular letter appears in a string.
# Very basic code, made it just to clown on the AI bubble.
appearances = int(0) # Counts how many times the selected char appears.
sentence = input("Write some shit: ")
sentence_length = len(sentence) # We need to know how long the sentence is for later
character_select = input("Select a character: ") # Your input can be as long as you wish, but only the first char will be taken
chosen_char = chr(ord(character_select[0]))
# Three-line version
for i in range (0, sentence_length):
if chosen_char in sentence[i]:
appearances = appearances + 1
# Two-line version (doesn't work - not sure why)
# for chosen_char in sentence:
# appearances = appearances + 1
# (Tested using "strawberry" as sentence and "r" as character_select. Ended up getting a result of 10 ("strawberry" is 10 chars long BTW))
# Finally, print the fucking result
print("Your input contains "+str(appearances)+" appearances of the character ("+character_select+").")
There’s probably a bug or two in this I missed, but hey, it still proves I’m more of a programmer than Sam Altman ever will be.
Could be. I was in the beta and honestly, I think the “guard-rails” they’ve had to put in truly do impact performance. Even 3.5 was better than much of what I see out of 4o
4o codes like 50 first dates memory style. And takes things so literally sometimes it’s silly and laughable.
Dude it’s just kinda fucking bad. Like legitimately, the first weekend I had access to 3.5 I took the challenge of coding this complex YouTube network analysis. No problem. Like, no code just explanation. But none of the recent (anything with rails) seems to have the sharpness, where it was basically right. Even basic tasks it takes an almost worst case approach.
