I work with temperature 0 which should have low variability yet recently it shifted to feel boring, wooden, and deflective.
Preventing outrage because some answers could be considered rude and/or offensive.
That's the vibe I've been getting. The responses feel a little cagier at times than they used to. I assume it's trying to limit hallucinations in order to increase public trust in the technology, and as a consequence it has been nerfed a little, but has changed along other dimensions that certain stakeholders likely care about.
So much work to avoid work.
Such a short-sighted response.
Worse IMO is the potential increase in verbiage to wade theough. Whereas before somebody might have summarized a meeting with bullet points, now they can gild it with florid language that can hide errors, etc
I had to use a bunch of jailbreaking tricks to get it to write some hypothetical python 4.0 code, and it still gave a long disclaimer.
Before, if I had an issue with a library or debugging issue, it would try to be helpful and walk me through potential issues, and ask me to 'let it know' if it worked or not. Now it will try to superficially diagnose the problem and then ask me to check the online community for help or continuously refer me to the maintainers rather than trying to figure it out.
Similarly, I had been using it to help me think through problems and issues from different perspectives (both business and personal) and it would take me in-depth through these. Now, again, it gives superficial answers and encourages going to external sources.
I think if you keep pressing in the right ways it'll eventually give in and help you as it did before, but I guess this will take quite a bit of prompting.
