How is it working out for you?

I appreciate that they made it less of a buddy system and it is prone to being more challenging.

I do think it is in need of a big update though as it seems to have really jumped the shark in terms of defensivness. It now has the habit of outright ignoring the prompts and jumping straight into deflective mode. GPT4 was good for working out ideas and getting feedback, but this one actually seems to purposely misinterpret prompts and leave you meandering for a way back to the start. You have to over explain what you want and then it doesn't want to backpeddle into appearing wrong. At odd times it over emphasises a mispoken word and if you state what you meant it doesn't correct it and just tries to work around it and tries to jam the jig saw pieces together.

Some people are just annoyed because it no longer agrees with them wholehearedly. Maybe the update is user aware and if you pushed for harsh answers in the past the update has made the whole thing even harsher.
 
I use it for coding, it does simple stuff well but still hallucinates. Grok4 is miles better in my experience.
 
I just asked it how I reclaim tourist tax for a hotel I stayed in because I am a registered citizen in the city/ thus don't pay TT and it gave me 3 paragraphs explaining that I cannot reclaim the tax because I live inside the hotel. It then tried to explain that the staff must have thought I was trying to register in the hotel and that I should call them to tell them I do not actually live in the hotel. I had to correct it twice before it finally segwayed back on track and then led me to the wrong website. There was absolutely no prompt to create this response.
 
It's fine. Still prefer Grok because it won't give you roadblocks on ethical and historical questions. Just give me the answer fucker! Trying to dive into anything dense and nuanced philosophically on ChatGPT is pretty much useless. I find that I like that text feature better if I'm trying to lay out a logic tree and the like though. Just use both for now I guess.
 
Plans are progressing...

I think it's fine and I'm finding it much more detailed thank 4o. I don't expect the 3000/mo thinking for Plus users to stay.

If I ranked the AI's I use on usage:

1. Claude
2. GPT
3. Gemini
4. Grok
 
Was expanded some time ago to include "technology" topics also.
I can see the tag but we are actively watching mental break downs happening because of this.It might be tech but it'sa socialstudyto booth.
