Honestly it has become less and less useful over the past 15 months. I imagine it’s due to the EU AI Act, but it could just as well be a failure in leadership.
It repeats itself continuously, even when specifically asked not to. And it just doesn’t come up with interesting stuff any more. It always uses the numbered list format even when I specifically ask it not to. The custom ‘app’ gpts are a mess and have only wasted my time. I consider canceling my subscription regularly 😕
I should add that I’ve had early access and built stuff on top of it and it was extremely exciting. Now I am just curious about future foss solutions to get back to experimenting for real 🌠😁
For now I’ll likely just switch to another product, as it’s definitely useful to get an overview when learning. But to be frank a good book is just better 🤔
Well over a year ago it was actually useful. […] And it just doesn’t come up with interesting stuff any more.
i have to admit i’m deeply curious what outputs you considering interesting enough for twenty bucks a month
Well, I had three electronics experts who validated my design based entirely off what I’ve learned from gpt4.
thanks to the EU, those three electronics experts are now 1.5 door-to-door vacuum cleaner salespeople
“It’s bad because of EU regulation” is the new “it’s bad because it’s woke”.
I actually appreciate the EU regulations. The real question is whether companies are creative enough to come up with new solutions that fit.
Do any “ai” companies have a business plan more sophisticated than
- steal everything on the web
- buy masses of compute with vc money
- become too important to be busted for mass copyright infringement
- ?
- profit
I don’t recall seeing any signs of creativity, or even any good ideas as to what their product is even for, so I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for one of the current crop to manifest creativity now.
Perhaps I missed something, though?
@gerikson @techtakes I think you’ll find Boris Johnson pioneered that one in the early 1990s.
it’s not like things like this haven’t been posted consistently since chatgpt started on the scene
oh no, wait, I meant the other thing. the one where it’s always been this awful dogshit.
“imagine it’s due to eu law” what the FUCK? I’ve seen some wild takes but wow, you’ve just strength-hammered the shit out of the fair bell in a way I haven’t seen in a while
Don’t you know? The directive of redundancy directive requires that human-facing software products continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes. This supersedes earlier regulation, which allowed human-facing software products to not continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes if the user verbally requests the human-facing software products to not continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes.
God knows why they decided that this particular EU law is the one they would actually follow.
It’s joever semiconductor bros ;_;
The day before this news came out, Ed Zitron posted a detailed list of signs of an AI bubble collapse — “Discord within OpenAI or Anthropic” is on his list of “pale horses.” If we start hearing about “dust-ups” at OpenAI, “you know bigger things are afoot.” [Where’s Your Ed At]
As a quick aside, Zitron’s also cooking up an article on the fallout of Google’s antitrust case as we speak.
