GPT is selectively useful. It’s also, as of the last few weeks dumb as a bag of bricks. Dumber than usual. 4 and 4o are messed up. 4 mini is an idiot. Not sure how they broke them, but it started roughly around the time of the assassination attempt. Not sure if it was a national security request or a mere coincidence, but just the same.
I’m even seeing 4o make comically dumb and stubborn programming mistakes lately, like:
GPT: “I totally escaped that character”
Me: “no, it’s the same as your previous response.”
GPT: “Oh, sorry, here is the corrected code.” replies with same code again.
