Not sure if you tried GPT-4 but my experience with 4 is quite different. It has been quite bullshit free, though not completely. For example I asked it to contrast oral and injectable semaglutide formulations. It did a bang up job. One thing I always do is ask it for evidence. And then I look the references up. Sometimes the references don’t say exactly what it said they will. I come back and have a discussion with it. It’s a back and forth for sure, but it’s an order of magnitude more informative and at least as accurate as a google search result is for me. I come out of it learning much more than I wanted to every single time. It’s pretty much part of my daily work and life, and I spend hours on it hitting the api limits now. So I’m not sure what others are telling about how it’s still shit.
If this AI system progresses no further, it’s already transformative. It’s an intelligence multiplier for some (I’m squarely in that category, just not sure if it’s 2x or 5x), but clearly for a lot of others it’s going to be something that takes away their livelihood.
I already use it for my coding work, one-way only, since I can’t paste proprietary code into it yet. The day something gpt-4-smart can plug into my orgs codebase, each of us will get at least 2x more efficient, conservatively.
- rl3 4y agoThis tracks with my experience as well. It's not perfect and can be a little frustrating at times, but the capability provided is extremely powerful to the point of being game-changing. It can pretty much augment any workflow in a net-beneficial way, provided you properly account for its shortcomings.

What I want most is to have it see the errors and files (file formats, directories, etc) so it will automatically know what is where and how it is structured. Not just code, but also data files. In the mean while I am starting to format my code in such a way as to contain this information, put there by me by hand. Fully documented files are better for GPT.
- KurtMueller 4y agoJust ask GPT-4 to write a vscode plugin for itself.
- ramraj07 4y agoThere’s no way out of sending the code to gpt-4 which as of now is a no-no.

- ramraj07 4y agoIf you’re discussing a scientific topic just ask it for references, it generally gives the first author, year and journal along with the title, for most reasonably cited papers!
