    GPT is selectively useful. It’s also, as of the last few weeks dumb as a bag of bricks. Dumber than usual. 4 and 4o are messed up. 4 mini is an idiot. Not sure how they broke them, but it started roughly around the time of the assassination attempt. Not sure if it was a national security request or a mere coincidence, but just the same.

    I’m even seeing 4o make comically dumb and stubborn programming mistakes lately, like:

    GPT: “I totally escaped that character”

    Me: “no, it’s the same as your previous response.”

    GPT: “Oh, sorry, here is the corrected code.” replies with same code again.

    I canceled my sub.

      And that’s exactly why I’ve already given up on AI before even really getting into it. The only things I use it for is when I want a basic skeleton for a simple script with the intention of turning it into a real script myself. It’s also pretty good at generating grep, sed and awk commands and oneliners (or at least it was when I last tried it), and sometimes, in spotting mistakes with them.
