Since OpenAI released its long-awaited Code Interpreter plugin for ChatGPT, I have been playing with it extensively. Throwing everything at it, from a zip file of a large repository and asking it questions to uploading spreadsheets and generating imagery. It appears that most people are using Code Interpreter for what it was intended for, working with data and code, being able to perform analysis and other awesome things on documents and so on.
Something interesting has happened with the famed GPT-4 model from OpenAI lately, and it’s not just me that has noticed. Many people have been talking about how GPT-4 lately feels broken. Some say it’s nerfed, and others are saying it’s possibly just broken due to resource constraints. There was a discussion recently on Hacker News in this thread which received 739 comments. All signs indicated that OpenAI had changed something significant with ChatGPT lately and its GPT-4 model. Users reported that questions relating to code problems were producing generic and unhelpful answers.
