It’s so frustrating.
Even very basic things like “Summarize this video transcipt” on GPTs built specifically for that purpose.
Firstly, it cannot even read text files anymore. It straight up “cannot access documents”. No idea why, sometimes it will act like it can, but it becomes obvious it’s hallucinating or only read part of the document.
So ok, paste info in. GPT will start giving you a detailed summary, and then just skip over like 40 fucking percent of the middle, and resume summarizing at the end.
I mean honestly, I’m hardly asking it to do complex shit.
I have absolutely no idea what lead to this decline, but it’s become so bad it is hardly even worth messing with it anymore. Such an absolute shame.
This has always been it. Unless there is a new breakthrough, adding more data has diminishing returns and costs an enormous amount of energy.
They had to convince everyone they were worth 10 trillion dollars and that they need to be part of the energy infrastructure of the future before it all fell apart. With everyone using it I have no doubt they have to reduce the “depth” of it.
The funny/tragic thing is there are several decades worth of AI/NLP research that they could call on, but they seem intent on kludging and reinventing things instead.
