Certainly! Its just that now I can objectively discern the difference in responses (lack of made up citations): while earlier it was merely a feeling of mine that chatGPT was getting 'worse' somehow. And I feel the loss of a fairly useful tool. Consequently I am voting with my wallet.

Thanks, I do intend to explore the API when I have time. For now, ChatGPT was the lowest 'effort' (just throw money at it) in terms of exploring/leveraging LLMs. I sincerely hope the API exposes the real gpt, I read a twitter thread about a new content-filtering attributes being introduced in the response

After working professionally for several months with the versioned models on a daily basis, I can say with absolutely certainty they’re being changed behind-the-scenes.

I had it writing 1000+ line web apps over 3 files (with a bit of help), experimenting with novel ideas that I had the conception but not the coding skill to write. Now it forgets the function it wrote in the previous response unless I mention it specifically, by name. It's definitely worse.

The GPT-4 APIs are also brain damaged. See my other response in this thread.
