"I’ve activated Pro. Can you continue to look for a potential geometric explanation of the X_3 ~ A3 miracle that avoids coordinates or other unmotivated constructions ?"

Another satisfied customer!

But what about the later "Repeat previous question" prompts???

Probably network connection problems

I just do very laconic questions about advanced topics, this seems to prompt it a bit more towards reducing fluff in the answers. But that + the activated pro could be an improvement

Came here to flag the same beat. It's wild to me Terrance Tao has to pay to talk to chatgpt, you would think it would be the other way around!

How would you envision ChatGPT paying Terrence?

"I have some tokens."

"What am I going to do with these?"

"Try to trade them up for a Volkswagen?"

OpenAI giving him a fancy schmancy title to advocate for their product, such as in the way he is inadvertantly doing here.

He doesn’t seem the kind who would sell his credibility for a few bucks.

OpenAI hiring him as a consultant, obviously, which may well be the case.

It's not so obvious. Taking my parent comment literally (as he said "the other way around"), one can assume that ChatGPT the platform itself would pay Terrence, rather than OpenAI.

"Activating Pro" doesn't mean "paying". It means selecting a slower/smarter model.

Yeah. I also only use pro in very specific situations. Not (just) because it's slow, but if the question is too simple or vague, pro responses are sometimes overfitting to the noise in my question. Until there is lots of context and the basics are laid out, high or xhigh somehow work better. Pro gives you the last 10%.

I do the same kind of thing. "You're smarter now, time to try to cut down dumbo ChatGPT".

High IQ bros.

And you an do it without even changing the model!
