I wonder how many have paid for access to GPT-4. GPT-4 was a total game changer for me.

As someone who never used GPT-4, what is so good about it?

It’s just plainly superior, by at least a 25% margin if not higher (imo). That’s not necessarily needed for every task though. ChatGPT’s free version is ‘good enough’ at many mundane tasks already.

What I don't understand about comments like yours is they're completely unquantifiable.

The CTO where I work sent a report recently telling everyone in the company the engineering group is now 95% more productive since we've adopted ChatGPT-4. It's absolutely false. I'd say it was actually a negative distraction for a long time and now, we're finding people are using it to abuse our service. So that's a whole new problem we have to try combat.

I have no idea why this tech makes people want to make statements like this but it's just lies. Most people in the team have stopped using it, use it for silly things and jokes /memes, and some just never touched it at all.

There was a thread here with several pro ChatGPT-4 users complaining it's deteriorated a lot, so which is it?

It's nice people find it helpful, but the blanket statements people make about productivity boosts just seem like nonsense.

I don’t know what to say about your CTO. People are definitely overestimating how useful GitHub Copilot is at least (if they say 2x they’re wrong). But there is no doubt that these products are changing the world and making us more productive.
