Not sure if you tried GPT-4 but my experience with 4 is quite different. It has been quite bullshit free, though not completely. For example I asked it to contrast oral and injectable semaglutide formulations. It did a bang up job. One thing I always do is ask it for evidence. And then I look the references up. Sometimes the references don’t say exactly what it said they will. I come back and have a discussion with it. It’s a back and forth for sure, but it’s an order of magnitude more informative and at least as accurate as a google search result is for me. I come out of it learning much more than I wanted to every single time. It’s pretty much part of my daily work and life, and I spend hours on it hitting the api limits now. So I’m not sure what others are telling about how it’s still shit.

If this AI system progresses no further, it’s already transformative. It’s an intelligence multiplier for some (I’m squarely in that category, just not sure if it’s 2x or 5x), but clearly for a lot of others it’s going to be something that takes away their livelihood.

I already use it for my coding work, one-way only, since I can’t paste proprietary code into it yet. The day something gpt-4-smart can plug into my orgs codebase, each of us will get at least 2x more efficient, conservatively.
