I got access to ChatGPT plugins and they’re really bad, completely deserving of “alpha”. I’d be pissed if I paid 25$ for this fyi.

It’s very slow, almost 10X slower than ChatGPT

It’s integration is bad. For most plugins it doesn’t do anything smart with its API call. For example if I ask “Nearest cheap International flight”, it literally goes to Kayak and searches Nearest Cheap International Flight, if Kayak can’t handle that query, GPT can’t either.

The only plug-in with good integration is Wolfram and it makes so many syntax errors calling Wolfram that it’s thrash. Often it just syntax errors out for half my queries

I wouldn’t have minded if they spent a few more months internally testing plug-ins before rolling it out to me, seeing it’s current state. The annoying thing is the chat website automatically starts at plugins mode which is borderline unusable. So every time I have to click on the drop-down and then choose ChatGPT or GPT4.

Thanks for assuaging my FOMO a bit. I think one of the most frustrating parts is that everyone in my lab looks to me when they see this stuff on Twitter and all I can really do is shrug.

I use the API for anything I can't do with Bing Chat, but I've found Bing Chat to be quite useful.

For code, I use phind.com.
