> not going for the most mysterious things you can do on advanced AI

Like what? In my experience, there are very few things that GPT-4 is definitively better at. It's good at explaining stuff, but not so good that I would deliberately avoid ChatGPT to use it. It's alright at coding, but code-optimized models regularly beat it in benchmarks. Plus, it's got the same lame filter and even an arbitrary request limit for paying customers.

I struggle to really imagine the "mysterious things you can do on advanced AI" that is impossible or impractical on local models. In my time using GPT-4, I was not really left wanting for more so much as I wanted it to stop saying "As an AI model..."

I feel it's a lot like looking at art. If you're happy with dogs playing poker painted on velvet then that's good for you, but I'm looking for something a little more satisfying. If your customers are happy with dogs playing poker painted on velvet then that's doubly good for you.

You can avoid a lot of that “as an AI model” by calling the API directly.

You can also tell it not to tell you it's limitations because it's an AI model.

For me is language learning.

I've been trying to learn Chinese for a while, and GPT-4 has been a very useful tool to answer grammar questions. I have tried the same with GPT-3.5 and some local models and the answers are never as good.
