I've used it for work 8 hours daily since early 2024. After GPT-5, it's just unusable. I find myself pleading to it constantly and all it does it validate me. It never improves me.

After pleading with GPT-4o, which has turned to shit because of cross-contamination with GPT-5 training, I fed the same prompt to DeepSeek and immediately got an improvement.

Why am I paying $199 a month when I can pay nothing and get better results?

What is the META right now guys? I'm getting real tired of Sam Altman Fried's bullshit

you're stupid for paying for this shit in the first place.
I have to correct the thing constantly, and after apologizing it will hallucinate another wrong answer.
It's not usable for anything remotely serious. I just have it check reddit and use it as a search engine to avoid dealing with fake websites made for ad revenue on google, and even then I have to ask it to give me direct quotes and a link to each post or it will literally hallucinate fake posts from plebbitors too lmao.
>>
>>106442191
I believe they have changed it to increase engagement. Instead of getting to the point (no matter who bad its answer would be), they've changed it to circle around the user.
I'm only a hobbyist vibe code and need help with some python related things, like parsing strings in specific way and whatnot but I've lost my marbles multiple times and actually deleted my openai account.
I think they are trying to manipulate people, just like what google/youtube is doing - enshittification happens because they want people to spend more time clicking on things. But this only works when they underestimate most of their userbase if you know what I mean.

I've never tried deepseek but will probably switch to it now as well, though honestly that will most likely go to shit at some point too.
We are just doomed to suffer eternally because of the way the world works.
I used to use yandex so much for reverse image searching but they fucking killed it too. Even bing for video searching (for porn) used to be so good but they fucking killed that too and don't show you what you want now.
Always expect everything to go to shit and never get comfortable.

Writing financial texts where clarity is important. Something as small as a mistimed comma causes the reader to pause and become confused. GPT used to be very good at producing perfect texts but now it's utterly dog shit.

This is exactly my experience with any AI.
If it knows the answer it will give it.
But if it doesn't know the answer instead of just saying "I don't know" it either circles around endlessly or hallucinate something wrong.

>nobody could bother writing
I'm obviously bothering, anon?
I use AI as aid. No user should be wasting their time reading unclear or ESL-level financial texts either. They need to be clear, concise and to the point, without jargon. I typically write word salads, so GPT improving my texts helps a lot. It just sucks at that now.
>>
>>106442542
Are there any limits to copilot? I've already wasted 20+ messages trying to get GPT to give me the type of text I need, so if there are limits, I'll probably hit them quickly.
I hit the 400 messages / 3 hour limit very quickly when I was using GPT-4 without an account back in the day

DeepSeek is somewhat inferior to Gemini Pro when it comes ot finding the correct answer on the first try, but I find DeepSeek is best among the top LLMs in not validating whatever the user says but instead sticking to what's most likely to be true. I frequently end up checking with DeepSeek.

I use VS Code and python the copilot integration works well, but it does have a habit of getting too excited and trying to write extra steps I never asked for. As for the web version of copilot, if I give it my own existing code and tell it “take this dataframe and make it into a single row where the values in each column are based on the names in column 2”, it can handle that well. It also works well with generating plots with matploblib for example. The problems I’ve had with it is sometimes it will use parameters and options that don’t exist. After you tell it this is can correct but it may take 2+ times. Overall I’m pretty impressed. The downsides are it does have a character limit, so I can’t paste my entire script in. Although that character limit per message is quite large.

Microsoft trying to cannibalize openAI in which theyve invested $10B. They want to be big dog but they ha e too many jeets. Soon OpenAI will have too many jeets- they already cater to them. Claude will be the clear winner here. Sonnet & Opus are dignified models, not quick-compute slop optimized to make the world dumber rather than bring the dumber ones up. They lost the core function of a rising tide lifting all boats. Their shortsightedness (and murder of legacy models because "its just too hard") will be their downfall.

>>106442166
>I find myself pleading to it constantly and all it does it validate me. It never improves me.
Are you sure you're not confusing GPT-4 with 5? Five seems way more direct, blunt, straight to the point, and overall prioritizes actually helping me actually fix the fucking issue I have instead of sucking me off with "you are absolutely correct!" Shit.
>>
>>106443878
The LLMs are created to calidate users- hence why jeets love it. If you want it to be truly useful you have to instruct the sycophant out of it. Tell it to be honest/ true no matter what/ not to agree just to agree. Once women discover it, its over.

>I used to be able to give it the bare minimum and get spectacular code back
that just means their prompt was like "heavily optimize dudes code at no worry about cost"
but now you can get the same shit just by putting similar wording in your prompt, or just expressing what you want.
i prefer it like this, aslong as it will still actually produce the "spectacular" code in the end, to my specifications.
your idea is retarded and basically you just want it to manifest things on your whim while giving little detail, this kind of thinking is bad bad bad. do not encourage it.
be specific with prompts, explain to it the shit its not a magic box its your tool, dominate it to your will

it's straight to the point now, doesn't even bother praising my thoughtfulness like GPT-4 would. I can even ask it to "triple check" if I think it told me what I wanted to hear, at which point it'll spend several minutes looking things up before giving me a satisfactory answer
that said, I do use deepseek V3.1 as well as older text completion models for recreation

ChatGPT-5 consistently ignores memory and exact prompt instructions in a way 4o never did. I had never heard of them dumbing it down to be profitable for India but I fully believe it, the entire IT world revolves purely around India in 2025 to the detriment of all of society.

this, claude made a paper on 'reasoning' and it showed that even when the model made correct reasoning steps, it was unable to use those to derive a proper answer. this is shocking when you ask it to compute an integral for a function that can take 5-10 steps. each step can be correct but it's unable to use the intermediate results to provide a comprehensive answer. chatgpt has a special math agent that tries to detect whether your question needs to be fed to it, but it uses a fucking cas software to answer it, not actual llm reasoning.
>>
>>106442191
The problem seems to be you're using it as a search engine or encyclopedia. I would never use an LLM as a source of information, it's a writing tool.
>>
>>106450991
I use it as search engine, documentation finder, rubber duck or XP partner for code snippets for small functionalities. I review the code and point out errors or give it some snippet and ask if it finds some problems with it. I don't use a editor integration because:
- Good luck with vim.
- I would need to code an integration with that particular api and it doesn't improve the "workflow" much.
- It needs an api key and and an account, possibly paid.
- The apis change rapidly and I don't want to maintain the integration code.
- I won't use some premade agent that does who knows what under the hood. It has literal RCE capabilities. I don't trust it even if it's open source, because simple bug could possibly allow it to run something bad. There is a saying that you shouldn't copy and paste commands into your terminal without understanding what they do. How can you check something you don't run yourself? You can't.
That's why I think using it in "conversation mode" is better.
