Do you descend into repetitive, incoherent babble after a 30min, incredibly focused conversation? Does any human being without some sort of diagnosis? I assume you regularly have conversations that last more than 30 minutes (work meeting, for instance, which gpt could not participate in as an equal voice by any stretch of the imagination).

It’s an arbitrary number that felt high enough. If I said 10, people would argue that a frontier model can talk longer than that. But I have absolutely watched ChatGPT fall apart that quickly. I’m sure everyone reading this has.

We can nitpick the duration all you want, but we both know it does not take very long for this to occur. It happens particularly fast if you stray from the original topic and/or aren’t using a frontier model.
