If I had a dollar for every time ChatGPT gave me code that worked but didn’t do anything I asked it to, I would have $5. Not because its accurate, but because I only had the patience to correct its work 5 times.
After it gave me to implement X in your app, you need to take into account A, B, and C 5 times in a row when I asked it on what steps needed to be taken, I cancelled my sub immediately.
Much depends on how you prompt. I have definitely encounters this but some basic default instructions around it can tweak it for any usecase.
When i prep a gpt i give it a list of information and steps it is supposed to follow and the further context about the job and my system. Stuff it can assume and what it should never assume.
Creating a good gpt and prompt are alot like programming itself, i can definitely see how if you just want to get some work done that having to do that feels like wasting time but you once a gpt is working its ready to be used any time.
every AI is getting bad. I’m using some off-brand (some might say indie) ones, and they’re slower dumber and have more payed options by the day.
ChatGPT if not for cheating in school I wouldn’t use it at all probly.
Phind.com was my go-to favorite, now can’t search the web for shit gpt option is payed and it’s just dumb.
You.com my friend used this, straight ignored my request yesterday.
do other’s have the same experience? If yes, follow-up question are they dumbing down AI, and keeping the power to themselves? 2nd follow-up how can I selfhost a good AI and what do I need for it to work?
Dolphin is just peak amusement to me. I’ve asked so many weird things of it that it’s basically just cowering in a corner now, afraid of answering any question for fear of getting another kitten killed.
An nvidia card with as much memory as possible - the newer the better.
I’m also beginning to look into the dedicated accelerators like the coral, but at first wash, it looks like lack of onboard memory will be a massive bottleneck.
It gives auto complete suggestions like many systems already do. But it also learns from your script and suggests code in your style.
Even ignoring bad suggestions it’s helped me a ton and paid for itself. Worth the $10.
My coworker asked for a script and I made it in an hour for him. Dude tried to call me out saying I had it already. Looks like at least a days worth of work.

ChatGPT is really good at telling me I’m a dumbass and to do it some other way when I ask why my code isn’t working. I’ll give it credit for that.

Look into ollama and mixtral variants… You’ll be limited by things like GPU memory though.
Mixtral 8x7B seems fairly capable to me so far. It’s just that I need to wait a few minutes for it to reply, given I’m running it on a 1st gen Ryzen…
Any models you’d reccommend that fit into 4GB of VRAM?
I’ve tried Deepseek Coder, and it certainly works well for quickly churning out bash scripts for whatever purpose I can possibly think of
Similar story here with an old 10xx GPU. I’ve just started tinkering with dolphin-mixtral-8x7b, but it’s early days.
Dolphin is just peak amusement to me. I’ve asked so many weird things of it that it’s basically just cowering in a corner now, afraid of answering any question for fear of getting another kitten killed.
what’d you say a good GPU is for it?

dang, I got an amd one. Should I even try? (16GB)
That I don’t have any experience with - I hear it’s harder, but not impossible.
Perplexity and poe are my go to for this.
I’ll try them tho, already a + for perplexity, I don’t need to log in
Yep that one my current fav.
I had a similar experience.
You know what’s nice tho? Vscode copilot.

“Nope. AI baby.”
