A new study describes how some GPT-4 capabilities have degraded, though users could simply be figuring out the AI isn’t all that smart.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if it is getting worse. It’s not “real” intelligence that “understands” your questions, and unlike more targeted solutions like GitHub copilot they don’t have a strong use-case focus that can guide their progress.

    But I think it’s also that people are coming to terms with what ChatGPT actually can and more importantly cannot do. It’s crazy sometimes to hear what the average person thinks the current iteration of AI’s is capable of.

      It’s good at writing sentences. The content of the sentences may or may not be real/true.

        I’m just not impressed with guessing which words to use next. Especially when I have to verify what it produces.

        Strongly disagree with explaining things, because you don’t know if it’s correct. And you have to validate code it creates, so 🤷‍♂️

        I’ve asked it to produce C for a specific product, and it effectively summarized and reproduced existing example code. Being able to so easily discover a source it used for training revealed the entire trick at once.

    A month ago, as a man working in IT and graphic design I was getting the “ai is going to replace you” every day and I’m loving the ai decline headlines this week.
