I'd like to see the stats on how many people use 3.5 over 4 though, I bet you that number is much higher than you think. The price of ChatGPT is being what I'm personally willing to pay for it so if I do use it, it's 3.5 for me. Maybe the logic is to study the most popular product? Would make sense to me.

Many more people drink tap water than eat dinner at a MICHELIN Starred restaurant, but if you're a food critic writing about the latest fancy restaurant, you had better pay for some food and write about that. This is especially painful considering the ludicrous pace of advancement in AI. You really have to aim for where the puck will be, not where the puck is. Within a year GPT4 will be out-of-date. Fundamentally, the entire point of this "research paper" is to compare ChatGPT with Stack Overflow answers, coming to the conclusion that people prefer SO. Yeah, well, meanwhile Stack Overflow usage has dropped off a cliff since ChatGPT become generally available: https://observablehq.com/@ayhanfuat/the-fall-of-stack-overflow https://observablehq.com/@ayhanfuat/the-fall-of-stack-overfl... I certainly prefer to ask ChatGPT basic coding questions because I get an answer immediately with no argument.

  But if all that existed at the restaurant was water? The food or better drinks werent released yet.

If that were the case, I would expect to see an explicit reference to the CGPT version in the introduction, and an explanation as to why the authors chose it for the study. Instead, the only version information appears to be buried in section 3.1.2 ("ChatGPT 3.5 Turbo API is used").

  They used 3.5 because that is all that was available at the time.
