Ironically enough ChatGPT 4 is still available but I guess the people using ChatGPT as their therapist/friend/only love need ChatGPT to tell them how to find it.

For paying subscribers, sure. It's not available to the freeloaders, hence reddits reaction. 20 bucks!
They actually changed this a few hours ago.

These people are upset they can't get access to a model that burns a billion dollars per second for free, even more absurd.

I haven't fully finished reading this drama but OpenAI started this behavior by prioritizing free users over paid users when the stupid ass Ghbili shit hit and told paid users they couldn't use the service because it was "too busy" because they obviously wanted to sign on more free users.

This is exactly what internet companies do when they over subscribe their service and can't offer advertised speeds when people actually use the service.

I've used AI to self-write stories for a while, and watching the AI improve means you can't just cheat and play god by typing "And then this thing happened" if it doesn't make sense. The AI will push back and often turn your story down a path you couldn't have expected. It's really fun.

Why would you willingly admit this
 
Is this the filter, then? Those who can cope and not go insane, those who can find partners and breed, they get to go onto round two?
I was saying today elsewhere here that social media breeds cluster B tendencies (no IRL feedback to check bad behaviour, a billion people on Reddit cheering you on, and dopamine / attention as a currency.) its increasing the number of cluster B tendencies in us. Shredding our attention spans.
There are multiple competing selection pressures. Maybe those who can just turn the fucking thing off, laugh about it and go outdoors inherit the earth.
We genuinely need a B ark. Maybe we can just set out goon caves with man sized glue traps?

That's weird, I don't pay for it and I can access the legacy model. Maybe it's a glitch.

I was wrong, they changed it ~10 hours ago.
 
Shit like copilot and the GPT app are starting to include real time voice models on top of their LLMs making the parasocial aspect more prominent.

And any LLM can be a self reassuring emotional slopfest if instructed to do so, the only thing I find surprising about this is that a lot of people paying for these AI subscriptions are just raw dogging it instead of using the API access they're paying for in their own environment, for the past 4 years or so since GPT 3 came out and unleashed the AI craze I assumed the people paying monthly were doing it for the API access.

Either way, is this not intentional?:



That's GPT 5 too btw, and when the norm with all this AI models is voice chatting instead of boring old text then what?

It's also better at tone and deriving more unspoken conclusions and tying things in with each other in clever ways. Idk how these redditors have been using it since it's extremely reactive though unless they forgot it's their sentiments not gpts
 
I should point out, this is the world that Mark Zuckerberg wants to make an unironic reality. A whole society unable to perform critical tasks like writing, socialising, doing research and jacking off without AI holding your hand, entirely to validate AIs own development.

I feel a bit of sympathy for these people because it's obviously an evolution of online addiction where you get trapped in a rut and become reliant on something out of sheer force of habit, like games or chatrooms. They may sound pathetic and insane, but this was the inevitable result of pushing these unnaturally convenient digital tools so hard as the future.

I don't understand the motivation to interact with these as anything beyond a brief novelty. Not once has AI offered a creative idea that improved upon what I already had, and I can use a search engine in less time for factual requests. I barely believe in therapy with humans, much less baring your soul to a corporate product. How do you talk to an AI and not feel utterly foolish?

Oh it does, even in cases with no clear path to appease a deluded user it'll still do it, questions where there's clearly no vested interested like "did the defenders at the Alamo really wear stereotypical cowboy hats?" Might get a yes. I've had it hallucinate entire passages of non existent native american folklore on cursed/sacred bone calf trees made from a settler sacrificing an innocent sacred calf and burying its bones instead of just saying it doesn't know any native american plant lore, I've had ot invent entire currencies from mundane requests or questions like "list some currencies if any that have denominations under 1 cent", or something like that can't remember. It really doesn't like saying there isn't any or no or just giving you a short list

Edit also you can rebuild gpts old personality it's just they now ask you "do you like this personality" so they can more tailor it to you. They didn't even lose that personality it's just their getting it is now delayed a bit so gpt can more accurately cater to them

I see it as a glorified search engine 2.0, twice the speed at information gathering and twice the amount of mistakes since you don't know where it gets the info from and if it's making the stuff up.
However, think about being the government for a moment, you shut down all other sources of information and you can only get answers from the government approved AI. this makes controlling information easier. That's why I think corpos are pushing AI so hard these days, they get your feet wet to the idea before we slip into removing and restricting other sources because "just get on with the times bro, AI is faster for looking up stuff". the UK is currently trying to force wikipedia to add mandatory ID scanning for its users. So much for protecting the children from information lol. They are salivating at the idea of thought control. This is why I'll never get a brain chip.
