    It’s confusing to me. When I use chat boxes they inevitably “forget” the first thing I told it by the second or third response.

    How are people having conversations with them? It’s like talking to a 5 year old that’s ingested Wikipedia.

      I’ve heard from other people that it adopts specific writing patterns and behaviors from the people using it. I think ChatGPT saves and summarizes chat conversations to personalize the chatbot, but I’m not sure since I don’t use it myself.

      If you pay for them via Openrouter or something then you’ve got an enormous window to work with. Gets more and more expensive as the history increases though.

          weird, i don’t have that experience at all

          claude in particular is a huge step up above the others

            To be fair haven’t tried that one. Gemini started bringing in unrelated, previous shit to a recent conversation, which is the first time I’ve experienced that.

              ah ive been degoogling for years now, only maps and youtube left

              claude for sure no1 to me but i haven’t ofc compared to gemini, qwen is a chronic over thinker, glm is not bad

              mistral seems like it’s a year behind the sota models, still in its “confidently incorrect can’t double check things” phase

              whereas others seem to be more like hrmm is this right? let me search web to be sure

                Same, but Gemini was the best of the lot about six months ago and it’s where I go these days for brain dead searching.

                I’ll give Claude a go next week. I do try to avoid them, but sometimes I have a question that just isn’t keyword search-able.
