How would you go and make a custom svg background with something like, say, Inkscape?
GPT-4 doesn't actually comprehend anything. It simply reproduces what it was trained on by a statistical model. It's a sophisticated Markov Chain.
Yeah it sucks and borderline scammy.
What do you mean by “mixed bag”?
