> It's amazing how many researchers underestimate the importance of UX and design. Yes. Also the fact that ChatGPT's UX and design leaves much to be desired. They could add/improve the product in so many obvious ways. I wonder if they either 1.) don't care, or 2.) have plans to, but are holding off until they take on a subscription fee.

Isn't there an API?

What would you change to the UX and design to make it even better?

  The slow spell out is really annoying. If they want to rate limit fine. But give me the answer faster and then lock queries for a few seconds instead.

    The spell out is a limitation of the way the model works, it predicts the text word by word.

      Yes I get that. But just speed the god damn thing up.

        The god damn thing has to do 175B multiply and add operations for each one of your words.

        Who cares? OP was asking about UX improvements. Maybe I missed the part, but IMHO no one was asking only for UX improvements that come cheap.

        They said "just speed the god damn thing up" - this is related to model inference speed. If your answer is one page long (about 2000 tokens), be prepared to wait for a whole minute.

        I’d much prefer the type be hidden until it’s ready entirely.

  It seems to log me out every day unlike pretty much every other web service besides banks.

    Probably related to a protection against abuse as a proxy or scraping.

    The login captcha somehow irks me. It's a bot.

  Entering and editing text on a small touchscreen with it is a pretty bad experience. The keyboard covers the text, linebreaks can't be entered without pasting, viewing the output requires closing the keyboard. None of these are problems to the same degree in say Discord's mobile/tablet UI.

    It has some issues when you edit a prompt that has very long text, it will snap to the end when you type losing focus.

  Add "calculator" in a form of Python interpreter to give alternative result. Providing interactive graphical interface for some of the charts they shown. Connecting outside sites for booking, pictures, user comments. To some degree, WolframAlpha putting more efforts into the UX than ChatGPT.

    I was going to ask you re: WolframAlpha. I think your suggestions are great ideas. Citing sources, providing links, and even possibly visuals. That's also how I think ChatGPT could really attack the search space.
