>> The author is using ChatGPT's GPT-4, leading him to conflate "GPT-4" with "ChatGPT". For the last three years or so every time someone reports negative results with an LLM, someone on HN will say the other person must be using the older model and they would get better results if they used the newest model. Then, when the newest model becomes common and people start posting more negative results with it, someone will post on HN to say "It's still early days, give it time, the models will improve". This is such massive shifting of the goalposts that I can almost visualise the scene: a football stadium, the crowd jeering, two teams moving their goalposts around the pitch while the referee is jumping up and down blowing his whistle red in the face, in risk of swallowing the pea. And nobody is playing ball. * football = soccer.
