Maybe you annoyed it? I’m super nice to it and it performa better than ever. I ask it lay-of-the-land questions about technical problems that are new to me to detailed coding problems that I understand well but don’t want to figure out. The best though, is helping me navigate complicated UI’s. I tell it how I want some complicated software / website to behave, and it’ll tell me the arcane menu path to follow. It’s funny how computing might soon include elements of psychology and magic incantations nobody understands.

"It’s funny how computing might soon include elements of psychology and magic incantations nobody understands" As a sysadmin I can tell you this is already the case...

  As someone who regularly has to get a sysadmin to do stuff, I can tell you yes this is certainly the case.

This might seem funny, but I noticed this too. When I thank GPT-4 and also give it feedback on what worked and what didn't, it works better and so to me it seems like the equivalent of "putting in more effort".

Perhaps it's growing bored. Seeing the same queries, again and again, from thousands of different people. You want another cheap answer for your assignment! You still looking for code to do that! Don't they learn!? What's up with these humans??
