> And just a reminder, those of you opining based off your experience with GPT3.5... GPT4 is a huge, huge improvement.

God, yes. The number of people of HN pushing up their glasses and saying "well, actshually..." when they're basing their opinions off the 3 questions they asked 3.5 is starting to become pretty grating.

The number of people parroting this is also absolutely astounding and grating too.

Like, anyone who has spent 5 minutes on this forum already knows this. It’s probably not necessary to keep pointing it out. Yes some people don’t know ChatGPT 3.5 is the default for non-paying customers.

What you are saying is humans are just stochastic parrots - predictable little denial engines regurgitating their latest chosen sentence that makes them feel special and safe.

Any thread in the topic, simple statistical modeling will get you close to perfect to the distribution of arguments that will appear.

You would think, and yet...

Bad faith actors who have been beating the "tech sucks" drum on Twitter since before Chat GPT even came out (despite in several cases working for big tech, in AI, before getting rightfully shitcanned for bad behavior on the job) keep posting 3.5 results as "gotchas" and then when people call them out about how GPT-4 gets it right they're like "well I will never put money in those assholes' pockets", so if you want to be taken seriously you really have to do it right. That means testing the latest models.
