it is interesting to see how people don't seem to realize that of they can do that then they're in deep shit feels like the same thing with people going "oh thank God I don't need to code anymore and I can do all my work

yeah, I just switched to the GPT models and it's a breath of fresh air. as for the other guy, the claude talk is definitely not less ambiguous, it often is incredibly ambiguous and hard to parse, I have no clue why it produces such out

I'm guessing it's because the way the first one was written looks real smart and sophisticated, which I'm presuming the models are rewarded for, especially when they're fed all kinds of PhD papers and so on as high quali

I just started to use GPT models. it's incredible how this seemingly is not a problem in the OpenAI world it's absolutely not just you, the text it produces causes my blood pressure to go up.

using AI to review ads costs basically nothing for Google I would say it's just because there's no incentive to do anything unless a huge media storm breaks out or something. turning a blind eye to this stuff probably makes them g

I would not be surprised if they were a year behind because of all kinds of legacy systems and vetting requirements. If we're talking about the 3 letter agencies well then..

I recently switched over to GPT from Claude once my subscription lapsed, it's too early to tell, but I do appreciate how more straight to the point Sol 5.6 seems to be, vs. the insane wordslop machine Opus tends to be. It's really
