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.

    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?

      yeah when you earn dollars its easy to spend them, when you earn Rands its a lot more complex, 1 of your dollars is 20 of my Rands, W#hen budgeting its easy to say it’s only R 400,00 but when there are 10 tools that can each make a marginal difference, that is a weeks earnings down the spout.

        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.

            Dude, you literally get to use the bot a few times for free. No subscription. No money out of pocket. Nada.

            Would you like something specific tested though? Reply here or DM and I’ll use mine, I can share the entire conversation for free.

              Not Dale or GPT, I’ve been having fun with some of the others. The ones I really want to try are only for subscribers

                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.

        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.
