In all honesty I've only been using InstantClaude so far due to the larger context window being something I'd want down the line. What should I be using in your opinion to get the best results?

Examples I can think of where it gave wrong info was:

- I asked to compare the size of the MacBook m1 and the 16" framework laptops

- I asked how to add the nixpgs-unstable channel in NixOS.

- I asked to help write a power shell script to create AD accounts.

I don't know, I've only used chatgtp 3.5, haven't tried other things. Out of your questions I would think only the last one would be a good fit.

The first one is open ended and I don't think M1 came before the "cut date of knowledge" in chatgtp. The 2nd one is too niche, likely not enough data to grab.

For the 3rd one, I don't know if the "date of knowledge cut" isn't recent enough - powershell became a thingy more recently and isn't wide adopted.. but I would expect to be a good fit

Powershell came out 2006, well before the knowledge cutoff date of 2022.

Try ChatGPT (GPT-4) or at least Claude 2.

Claude Instant will not give you the highest quality answers.

So shouldn't you try gpt4 before complaining?

It's incredible to me that so many people still don't realize that GPT-4 is a completely different level from other LLMs.

It's like if an alien visited and the first place they went was to a convention for Special Needs people and then they decided that humans were too stupid to talk to. Or rather, there was a Mensa convention next door with a $20 entrance fee and they figured it wasn't worth it.

Or rather, for $20 everyone at the Mensa convention agreed to log in to a special app and wait 24/7 for any time you have a question. Then they would instantly select the most knowledgeable among them in that subject and immediately enter a reply incredibly quickly.

It "proved" that P = NP the other day, for me. So I think the Special Needs people would still be ahead.
