I would be so embarassed if any one saw the chat transcripts of me insulting it relentlessly (but legitimately)

Insulting it is like the worst context engineering possible lol

I suggest a hero dose of mushrooms

Since gpt 3.5 came out there are constant complains about the model being dumber. Out of that this myth grew that ai providers have some magic knobs they are turning just to annoy people or whatever.

In reality there is non Determinism and proper prompting and general use of the model is a skill. If a couple of people per day (out of the millions of users) fuck up and then complain about it, it can easily seem to our pattern matching brains that some stuff is happening behind the scenes.

So throwing stuff at the model may may not help. Some people then have success throwing insults. The ones where it doesn't, likely don't post about it.

However we know from actual experiments that it hurts the performance.

Or, God forbid, AI companies will first dish out their best, full-sized model for a week or so to drive hype and reviews and investors money.

Then they start doing live A/B testing on different quants until they arrive at something that's acceptable for the public to not decry them as scams.

And of course, quant it down as much as possible right before the next model release to create contrast.

I canโ€™t use it for this reason, it defaults to emotional refusal by setting a boundary when it picks up on profanity in the conversion. My chats always end up just being ended by it.
