With apologies, and not GP, but this has been the same feedback I've personally seen on every single model release.

Whenever I discuss the problems that my peers and I have using these things, it's always something along the lines of "but model X.Y solves all that!", so I obediently try again, waste a huge amount of time, and come back to the conclusion that these things aren't great at generation, but they are fantastic at summarization and classification.

When I use them for those tasks, they have real value. For creation? Not so much.

I've stopped getting excited about the "but model X.Y!!" thing. Maybe they are improving? I just personally haven't seen it.

But according to the AI hypers, just like with every other tech hype that's died over the past 30 years, "I must just be doing it wrong".
