I am what is known as an early adopter, I try all the new shit, I was on Twitter early and got banned for being a Nazi or something when if you said anything anyone disagreed with you were a fascist.

Chat GPT is something that I have been playing with, 3.5 is as dumb as a plank, If OpenAI wanted to convince me that upgrading to 4 was a good idea they would have made 3.5 interesting enough that it was useful for more than creating outlines.

Here are my concerns.
Chat GPT cannot count, it cannot follow instructions and rehashes the same content in numerous areas, I tried writing blogs about photography, web development, carpentry and more. As a brainstorming device it’s good, to get an outline it’s accep[table, but as far as trusting it with creating original content that needs as much effort to edit and fact check as it would take me to do it from scratch anyway.

In the ever changing, fast paced world yadda yadda is one of it’s gotos. I wonder how many people are posting exactly the same AI generated shite, because they can’t be arsed to actually check it.

IT’s a boon for the spam content creator, but for the person serious about his business< I am not convinced, Convince me.

    I’m paying for plus, and there’s a few codes to give out for I think a 30 day trial. It does require a linked CC, but they don’t charge during the trial.

    It’s still a bunch of math, but it holds its memory better, it can access the Internet and actually research up to date things, it can handle large amounts of data.

    Heck, you can give it a spreadsheet, pdf or something else and have it work on it, or learn from it.

    If you want, I can pm you a trial code if you’re actually interested in giving it a shot. You still need to tell it what you want. It’s a brainiac with a crazy imagination based on others work. But it’s not a mind reader.

      I need a 1000 word page with the keyword phrase: Destination wedding photography. Destinations include Limpopo, Mpumalanga, KZN and Gauteng. This should be aimed at couples seeking a destination for their wedding and a photographer to complete the package

      Do you think I got what I asked for even with additional prompting, After three revisions it forgets what you stated in the first place. The article it created included keywords from the style example.

      I asked it for a version for twitter, it gave me 4 paragraphs, I told it that Twitter only allowed 280 characters, I promptly rewrote the same paragraphs in a slightly different format,

      I ask for 150 - 160 character descriptions, it gives me 80 or 240.

        Wait you aren’t even using GPT4? Your whole point is invalid. Whaa whaaa credit card. Its $20. If you can’t afford that to upgrade your workflow, why are you even doing the work that you do? If its not worth $20 over a whole month, pennies per hour, how can you even justify waking up in the morning to even do it?

            Ok thats fine and all but then why write a pointless post about a tool you’re using incorrectly? You’re using 2 years ago tech and complaining it doesn’t meet the expectations you have that you learned from people using today’s tech. Of course it won’t be as good. This stuff has advanced extremely quickly.

            Go to poe.com, there you can try the gpt 4 free of charge for a few messages, along other premium High capability bots.

            There’s a world difference between 3.5 and 4.

                    I found one that translated a huge chunk of a book I am writing in Afrikaans back to English, That is impressive, now there is a tool I will pay money for.
