Honestly I'm pretty sick of ChatGPT anymore. It completely ignores custom instructions, loses context insanely quickly, has bugs with working with canvas where it puts the code in the chat instead of updating canvas, the Project feature is half baked and is very terrible experience, GPTs are just really stupid and also half baked. I started using Le Chat (Mistral) again and, honestly, the conversations there are much more fun. Tons of issues with that one as well, but I am happier using it haha. Ended up using a desktop app that lets me control the system prompt against Mistral's API and couldn't be happier.

I’ve been wondering if OpenAI’s updates ruin other applications or utility? Kinda makes me skeptical of global models. Obviously OpenAI is optimizing and changing how they train their models. Makes sense to me you’d lose some of the quirks. I think this is actually the promise of open weight models. Personally, I’ve never used ChatGPT, Claude, whatever. I’ve found a decent amount of utility in just the open weight models.
I am right there with you on the open weight models. Only reason I started back on ChatGPT is because I'm rebuilding my servers and had to take out my 3090Ti. That thing is huge and I needed the room for hard drives until my 3.5" to 5.25" adapters come in.
