Yep, definitely. I have a plus subscription, and stuff that was easy for it just a few months ago now seems to take several back-and-forths to barely approach similar results.
Science content is where I noticed the most degradation. It just stares at me using blank “it’s not in my training data” answers to questions that used to have comprehensive responses a while ago.
I think they’re scaling down the models to make them cheaper to run?
They’re definitely reducing model performance to speed up responses. ChatGPT was at its best when it took forever to write out a response. Lately I’ve noticed that ChatGPT will quickly forget information you just told it, ignore requests, hallucinate randomly, and has a myriad of other problems I didn’t have when the GPT-4 model was released.
Was it ever good?
It’s good at writing sentences. The content of the sentences may or may not be real/true.
I’m just not impressed with guessing which words to use next. Especially when I have to verify what it produces.

Strongly disagree with explaining things, because you don’t know if it’s correct. And you have to validate code it creates, so 🤷♂️
I’ve asked it to produce C for a specific product, and it effectively summarized and reproduced existing example code. Being able to so easily discover a source it used for training revealed the entire trick at once.
A month ago, as a man working in IT and graphic design I was getting the “ai is going to replace you” every day and I’m loving the ai decline headlines this week.
