Honestly it has become less and less useful over the past 15 months. I imagine it's due to the EU AI Act, but it could just as well be a failure in leadership.
It repeats itself continuously, even when specifically asked not to. And it just doesn't come up with interesting stuff any more. It always uses the numbered list format even when I specifically ask it not to. The custom 'app' gpts are a mess and have only wasted my time. I consider canceling my subscription regularly 😕
I should add that I've had early access and built stuff on top of it and it was extremely exciting. Now I am just curious about future foss solutions to get back to experimenting for real 🌠😁
For now I'll likely just switch to another product, as it's definitely useful to get an overview when learning. But to be frank a good book is just better 🤔
"It's bad because of EU regulation" is the new "it's bad because it's woke".
I actually appreciate the EU regulations. The real question is whether companies are creative enough to come up with new solutions that fit.
Do any “ai” companies have a business plan more sophisticated than
I don’t recall seeing any signs of creativity, or even any good ideas as to what their product is even for, so I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for one of the current crop to manifest creativity now.

AFAICT basically all of them failed at the "become too important to be busted for mass copyright infringement" part - turns out actively stealing from some of the most litigious and DMCA-happy motherfuckers on the planet was an easy way to get mired in lawsuits.
Bonus points for becoming essentially a money pinata for their lawyers in the process.
ai is a tapeworm looking at the stars and saying "I wish to become indispensable"

a fairly enjoyable read, if you can stomach exposition of millennia and hopskotch-scifi
I get your point but I feel it goes a tad bit too far. It's like that now, but it used to have the capability to adapt well and also come up with original ways of combining things. I actively leveraged that capability for my library. Rn it's unfortunately on pause due to the regression, at least within the NL/EU.
you appear to be lost, this isn’t “sama stan club”
and by library I hope you don’t mean a place of knowledge other humans rely on
