Surely the rampant server issues are a big part of that.
OpenAI have been shitting the bed over the last 2 weeks with constant technical issues during the workday for the web front end.
It definitely got more stupid. I stopped paying for plus because the current GPT4 isn't much better than the old GPT3.5.
If you check downdetector.com, it's obvious why they did this. Their infrastructure just couldn't keep up with the full size models.
I think I'll get myself a proper GPU so I can run my own LLMs without worrying that they could stop working for my use case.
GPT4 needs a cluster of around 100 server-grade GPUs that are more than 20k each, I don’t think you have that lying around at home.

I’ve definitely seen GPT-4 become faster and the output has been sanitized a bit. I still find it incredibly effective in helping with code reviews where GPT-3 was never helpful in producing useable code snippets. At some point it stopped trying to write large swaths of code and started being a little more prescriptive and you still need to actually implement snippets it provides. But as a tool, it’s still fantastic. It’s like a sage senior developer you can rubber duck anytime you want.
I probably fall in the minority of people who thinks releasing a castrated version of GPT is the ethical approach. People outside the technology bubble don’t have a comprehension of how these models work and the capacity for harm. Disinformation, fake news and engagement algorithms are already social ills that manipulate us emotionally and most people are too technologically illiterate to see how pervasive these problems are already.
