The end of an AI that shocked the world: OpenAI retires GPT-4
- xx__yy 2y agoA bit of a nostalgic read, I bet everyone remembers the first time they tried ChatGPT-4, and the conversations about it at gatherings/BBQs. But I don't feel like it's gotten any better, if anything I feel like it's been "dumbed-down" a bit (possibly from added safeguards/censorship). AI coding assistants (e.g. Co-Pilot) has made me a more productive developer, but only in the sense that I type less boiler plate (or ceremony code).

Nobody in my circles does. The AI hype bubble illustrated. People who keep telling me I will be left behind keep not producing all this amazing, flawless, refined software that AI was supposed to build.
- creatonez 2y agoSo this type of article is going to be written every time a model is deprecated? GPT-3 is the one that shocked the world. And the main innovation (transformer with attention) predates it by a few years and was already surprising people in GPT-2
- Natfan 2y agoAgreed. For me, GPT-2 was the first time I saw generated text in the wild (thanks r/subredditsimulator!) back in ~2015(?), and GPT-3/ChatGPT was the real model/interface that shocked the world.
