Ask HN: Are ChatGPT answers getting worse for anyone else?

Kind of interesting how the economics of LLMs are working out. Cloud computing power used to be considered unlimited, but now the LLMs have overwhelmed the surpluses of computing power. That they are telling the AI to be concise is funny since they don't have a way to explicitly program it to do that besides just asking nicely.

Can they make the economics of this thing work on a free search engine? I wonder how much money they are spending per day here.

Instead of crafting SQL injections, hackers will try to outwit LLM’s with logical contradictions like in old science fiction films. It’s funny but also a systemic problem with this technology. No amount of filters or safeguards can fully contain the range of expressiveness available in an entire language.

There is a really, really large drawer where all old calculators go when they die.

Foundryside had a lot of that in it.

They do, they just took the shortcut
