GPT4 is about 1/10th as useful as it was at release (lemmy.world)

It's so frustrating.

Even very basic things like "Summarize this video transcipt" on GPTs built specifically for that purpose.

Firstly, it cannot even read text files anymore. It straight up "cannot access documents". No idea why, sometimes it will act like it can, but it becomes obvious it's hallucinating or only read part of the document.

So ok, paste info in. GPT will start giving you a detailed summary, and then just skip over like 40 fucking percent of the middle, and resume summarizing at the end.

I mean honestly, I'm hardly asking it to do complex shit.

I have absolutely no idea what lead to this decline, but it's become so bad it is hardly even worth messing with it anymore. Such an absolute shame.

Could it be that so many is using it that they don’t have the capacity anymore? This technology does require crazy amount of resources to work.

Then they should increase prices or have tighter usage limits instead of a quiet downgrade. Customers getting less while paying for the same thing is a scam.

This has always been it. Unless there is a new breakthrough, adding more data has diminishing returns and costs an enormous amount of energy.

They had to convince everyone they were worth 10 trillion dollars and that they need to be part of the energy infrastructure of the future before it all fell apart. With everyone using it I have no doubt they have to reduce the "depth" of it.

The funny/tragic thing is there are several decades worth of AI/NLP research that they could call on, but they seem intent on kludging and reinventing things instead.

No idea man, but it was so incredibly useful before, and now it isn't even worth fucking with.

I don't understand how they fucked it up this hard.

Yes, but they're also trying to increase profitability, likely thanks to Microsoft.
