I agree. There's some faux confidence about ChatGPT, this emotionally draining, ruthlessly authoritative prose that is just exhausting to intellectually engage with. It started around o3, and I have no idea what OpenAI is doing to make their models sound like this. Claude and Gemini models have a much more human tone to them.

"This is a classic ChstGPT gotcha". This and the gaslighting "Exactly, now you see why A!=B" when it was ME who pointed out his wrong A=B assumption are driving me crazy.

They f*cked it up. I am convinced ChatGPT will be a classic case of an early prodigy which gets surpassed by the better, second generation products. History is full of those. I think Tesla is another, recent one.

They have definitely messed it up, I know people who promised to be lifelong chatgpt users who now use Gemini.

Itll take a bit of time to show up in the numbers overall, but within my reach I see the numbers changing.

Indeed, while it's anecdotal, I find Gemini give me right answers at first attempt, while sometimes I can't get ChatGPT to get it right in two-three comebacks.
