oscarb92··on ChatGPT Is Down
Maybe it is related to them updating the backend to support GPT-5 in production. I appreciate these downtimes should be planned, but since it's OpenAI, this may be it. One can only hope, though.

Thanks. How do we know none of this is a hallucination?

oscarb92··on Microsoft “lobotomized” AI-powered Bing Chat, and its fans aren’t happy
The value of Bing Chat to me comes from having conversations where I can ask follow-up questions, ask them to elaborate on something they've mentioned, or put it in different words. It may be possible to achieve somewhat similar results under 5 messages, but it is definitely more challenging.

In my case, I like to treat it as a research aid, as someone I can bounce ideas with; that usually leads to me having better ideas or unblocking myself.

I hardly ever use it to search for factual or straightforward responses, as I am competent enough with Google that I can confidently find content about a topic on the Internet if it exists. In these cases, going through a conversational agent is disruptive to my process.

oscarb92··on Little languages are the future of programming
