ChatGPT use declines as users complain about ‘dumber’ answers, and the reason might be AI’s biggest threat for the future::AI for the smart guy?

I asked it to review a function I wrote and it suggested that I rename create_archive() to create_archive() so that’s it’s less ambiguous than create_archive().

So yeah, it’s definitely dumber.

I’ve had similar experiences lately. Either that or it decides to review and analyze my code unprompted when I’m trying to troubleshoot a particularly tricky line. Had a few instances where it tried to borderline gaslight me into thinking that it was right and I was wrong about certain solutions. It feels like it happened rather suddenly too, it never used to do that save for the odd exception.
lol, I’ve been using it for coding as well, and the other day I fed it a snippet of my code to see if it could improve it… “Oh sure!” and it basically rewrote it with the dumbest indentation and moved a variable around that changed nothing. I guess I should feel flattered.
