Definitely worse - on paid. It’s just so fucking verbose instead of doing what it’s asked - despite setting base prompts to be concise etc. Every coding proble

  There are times I want it to do the work for me, and there are times I want the explanation. I (try to) make it clear which I need, yet I am also noticing more of the latter for both. It also ignores several prompts I've put in the custom prompts. For example, I'm learning Japanese. I have the following prompt: > When providing pronunciation guides for Japanese, use hiragana, not romaji e.g. 動物園 (どうぶつえん) not 動物園 (doubutsuen). That prompt used to work 100% of the time but I get romaji a lot now. Am I supposed to improve my prompts? Perhaps, but part of the appeal of such a search engine is that I shouldn't have to, right?

  The verbosity certainly seems to me to be a specific change they have made. My guess is by getting it to do more "thinking out loud" they are trying to get it to do the kind of reasoning it used to only do when you prompted it to give its chain of thought, because that generally gives better results[1].
