> This model completes tasks like code generation more thoroughly than the previous preview model and is intended to reduce cases of “laziness” where the model doesn’t complete a task Well that's good because the term "lazy" is a literal definition of what I can see GPT4 doing for the last couple of months. It would be a battle to get it actually to complete a task. Let's see how it improves.

I wonder if information workers are becoming more lazy in the mental context of hearing AI will take their jobs, and I wonder if this ironically ends up polluting the data set.

What do you use GPT4 for? The reason I ask is that ChatGPT is helping me debug docker files and a lot of the times I find really hard to Google answers there. Sometimes it waves me away but usually with promptings for more information to go on first.

This was the biggest win for me. One time asked ChatGPT if it could "write python to convert a docx to pdf using any python package of your choosing" and its response was a paragraph telling me doing so is difficult, followed by a python function, with just an inline comment //implement conversion here

  Probably better than hallucinating a wrong answer if it's stumped

    No it's not. It does (did?) this all the time to me generating tests. I know it _couldn't_ know the right answer because I didn't tell it all of the model and serializer schema's and all that. I don't care, because I know it is capable of generating very good guesses, and it is able to generate comprehensive tests, and I just need to tweak it to actually run. The problem is you have to shove it to even try. Refusing to make any attempt makes it useless. If it's truly stumped then it'll be pretty obvious (assuming you aren't using it blindly).
