    Honestly it has become less and less useful over the past 15 months. I imagine it’s due to the EU AI Act, but it could just as well be a failure in leadership.

    It repeats itself continuously, even when specifically asked not to. And it just doesn’t come up with interesting stuff any more. It always uses the numbered list format even when I specifically ask it not to. The custom ‘app’ gpts are a mess and have only wasted my time. I consider canceling my subscription regularly 😕

    I should add that I’ve had early access and built stuff on top of it and it was extremely exciting. Now I am just curious about future foss solutions to get back to experimenting for real 🌠😁

    For now I’ll likely just switch to another product, as it’s definitely useful to get an overview when learning. But to be frank a good book is just better 🤔

      “It’s bad because of EU regulation” is the new “it’s bad because it’s woke”.

          True, but it’s recently crossed the pond to Silicon Valley. I think it was when the DMA affected Apple that a lot of hackernews became EU regulation experts and started grappling with the fact that laissez-faire is seen as a dirty word in the country where it originated.

        I actually appreciate the EU regulations. The real question is whether companies are creative enough to come up with new solutions that fit.

          Do any “ai” companies have a business plan more sophisticated than

          1. steal everything on the web
          2. buy masses of compute with vc money
          3. become too important to be busted for mass copyright infringement
          4. ?
          5. profit

          I don’t recall seeing any signs of creativity, or even any good ideas as to what their product is even for, so I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for one of the current crop to manifest creativity now.

          Perhaps I missed something, though?

            AFAICT basically all of them failed at the “become too important to be busted for mass copyright infringement” part - turns out actively stealing from some of the most litigious and DMCA-happy motherfuckers on the planet was an easy way to get mired in lawsuits.

            Bonus points for becoming essentially a money pinata for their lawyers in the process.

            I get your point but I feel it goes a tad bit too far. It’s like that now, but it used to have the capability to adapt well and also come up with original ways of combining things. I actively leveraged that capability for my library. Rn it’s unfortunately on pause due to the regression, at least within the NL/EU.

              you appear to be lost, this isn’t “sama stan club”

              and by library I hope you don’t mean a place of knowledge other humans rely on

        Well, I had three electronics experts who validated my design based entirely off what I’ve learned from gpt4.

              1. attempt to learn from llm
              2. have llm tell you about success criteria
              3. get some or other shit done
              4. ???
              5. be personally satisfied, individually

              new electronics design standard everyone! no more need for EDA sims, we can just ask this clever poster for verification! progress! i’m sure it’ll be perfectly fine!

        Don’t you know? The directive of redundancy directive requires that human-facing software products continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes. This supersedes earlier regulation, which allowed human-facing software products to not continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes if the user verbally requests the human-facing software products to not continuously reiterate themselves for accessibility purposes.

        God knows why they decided that this particular EU law is the one they would actually follow.
