Ask HN: Diminishing Quality of ChatGPT Responses?

We use ChatGPT for some labeling-jobs, generating JSONs as responses.

Lately, I'm getting lots of feedback from my team that its functioning less and less, to the point where it refuses to respond with JSONs and can't handle tasks that require repeating the same operation on a list of provided inputs in the prompt.

I'm wondering wether this is due to a general decline in quality, or due to some mechanism that degrades response-quality/capability in response to many near-identical prompts.

FWIW, we'd happily pay for the compute if that was an option.

Is it becoming less and less reliable for you, too?

Running ChatGPT costs a truckload of cash. Maybe they were forced to cut spending and limit hardware resources or same amount of money can buy less resources due to rising prices.
