> "just ChatGPT, what is Sol?."

i'd really like to see some analytics on what proportion of users have ever switched the model in chatgpt because I anecdotally believe it is < 5%

I didn't even know you could. Work pays for ChatGPT and I just assumed it is what it is.

On average, generally, do you dig into settings (or maybe if something works, good enough usually)?

(I’m always on the hunt for “please don’t just friggin sell my data to everyone, if you’re scared enough over getting sued that you’ll listen to the toggle” and “disable sponsored this-and-that”. Plus power user stuff.)

I used to, very much. I've slowly come around over the last ten years or so to just using everything in its default config. I guess I don't want to spend the time I have left fiddling with settings.

Agree with the numbers but you can't "switch the model" in normie ChatGPT anyway, you can only select between instant/medium/high effort.

Honestly I rarely change it in either of them unless I’m using the cli or cowork to do something. That’s where smarter work means less iterative un-fucking, later.

Any quick questions or rubber ducking in a regular “chat”… the model just doesn’t really matter anymore.

They’re all smarter than I need for that stuff (and whatever unfortunate thing that says about me).

95%(?) have never paid. Maybe that helps the stats: for those who’ve paid, perhaps it’s all the way to 10% who’ve switched models?
