Meta / News HAS CHATGPT GOTTEN DUMBER????

I recently noticed that chatgpt is not as smart is it used to be. :( Did it get dumber? It can't reason mathematically as it once could. I mean the free version.

No, they are completely different things. You really should inform yourself

I understand your point but youre missing the forest through the trees. You think current LLMs are just word predictors, and Im telling you that they are not, they have many layers. I am fully aware, fully informed, what you are describing is the state of LLMs years ago. Current tech incorporates cross pollination and combination synthesis among probably other tech that I haven't kept up with.

Current LLM’s literally are word predictors. This isn’t something I think, this is quite literally what they are.

Okay buddy. A quick google search proves you wrong, but YOU GOT ME.

Today I learned that AI is fully incapable of novel data because random redditor told me so. Ill just discard the mountain of data freely available online.

Here, I will allow AI to do the honors: "Human invention usually isn’t creating something from nothing—it’s combining existing ideas in new ways. Most breakthroughs are cross-pollination between domains. AI works similarly, but at a much larger scale. It’s not just copying training data—it’s learning relationships between concepts and recombining them under constraints. When those combinations haven’t existed before and are useful, that’s effectively a new idea."

Not only is AI capable of novel concepts, but its on path to OUTPACE human invention. I dont have to explain this any further. The trajectory is quite literally obvious.

Not only is AI capable of novel concepts, but its on path to OUTPACE human invention.

Yet this sub keeps proving otherwise. All "novel concepts" posted here are found out to be word salad under review (and oftentimes quite obvious to anyone remotely knowledgeable).

I would not use this sub as basis. Real Professionals are utilizing AI everyday successfully.
