Seriously, using gpt4 through API is not as good as chatGPT—anyone know why? I’ve wondered this for years. (Ok months)

  Same. I wrote an implementation around GPT-4 & sqlite to store and analyze my queries and was hoping to use that exclusively. I still find myself using ~~GPT-4~~ chapGPT, huge shoutout to autodev.py for making that experience worlds better. edit: clarity

  I observed the opposite tbh. Seems inconsistent?

  Very likely your initial system prompt, versus chatGPT. Also ChatGPT is more than just an client for the GPT4 API.

    That said I see better results mostly via the API and a good prompt.

  There is definitely something different. e.g. If I ask to output JSON, ChatGPT sometimes starts with something like "Sure here is the JSON output", while API never does that.
