Tell HN: ChatGPT with GTP-4 has been unusably slow since the latest update

No, I've been using it via ChatGPT and minor API calls every day, throughout the day. It's slow but perfectly usable. I am on the US West Coast.

When was the latest update? I've definitely noticed a trend of increased failures/errors over the past couple weeks.

Yes. And I'm confused why others are not shouting about this more loudly. Far too slow and too many "network errors".

Same issue here. Very slow and unreliable.

Pro-tip: use `ChatGPT Classic` [0] from OpenAI to restore the quality you were used to before the update.

The 'all-tools' version of ChatGPT uses a staggeringly-long system prompt [1], which seems to result in significantly lower quality for me. Perhaps it should be called the 'master-of-none' version?

Interesting; it’s been faster than ever for me in the gpt4 settings. I have been making custom gpts and using them since available all day; haven’t noticed this. Must be just a coincidence.

It’s not due to the update but I find it’s searching Bing in like 95% of my use cases. If I wanted to search Bing and find the answer, I would have done so myself

Same here

Are you noticing this with the API too? I’ve observed inconsistencies in response time via API (v4-T)

Same. It is kinda sad it becoming a more stupid tool by the day, losing its value
