I’m inclined to agree in general. GPT has actually gotten worse over time.
For one it’s just way too locked down now. But I also have noticed a decline in overall quality of responses, especially for technical stuff. It used to translate between programming languages quite well, and that’s been more broken lately.
I’m wondering if they purged a bunch of copyrighted material from it and that’s why it got dumber.
I don’t think they get dumber, they just literally put more and more restrictions on the thing.
That would make sense for stuff where you’re doing weird writing prompts, but I don’t see how it relates to get getting worse at programming tasks.
