I can believe that the core GPT-4 model itself has not changed, but clearly they've changed some features. They've added plug-in access, which can change GPT-4's capabilities greatly with some chats. The over all UI of the we

Yes, that's certainly a valid reaction, and is likely partially true. It's also true that Apple is very well known for very hard negotiation and squeezing their suppliers until there's only a few percent margin. You'd ha
