Why People Want GPT-4o Back

Have you seen the keep 40 movement? I've I've heard it before. Is it about like people liking for O? Yeah. I want to do this section by being as respectful as I can to to everyone. So, I don't know how this is going to go, but yeah, 40 le is leaving tomorrow and and Theo here is is claiming very poetically that it's actually a day before Valentine's Day. Now, what is 40, you might ask? Well, 40 was notoriously a model that was released that had, I think it came and went very, very quickly. It had the innate ability to, put it lightly, glazed the out of you and not challenge you on any of your thoughts, beliefs, or anything like that. It had a very humanistic feel to it, right? Yeah. And what this created was a huge community when five got released. I mean, five was a a a ridiculously uh it was a it was a flop, right? When five got released, I don't know if you remember that. Five was a big flop and they quickly followed up with 5.1, right? So, this transition to these wasn't great in the first place, but it also had a lot of problems with glazing and stuff like that. And I started digging and I started dig I think Theo put a well actually he linked to this thread here and I started digging into some of those people is like there are some really uh unhinged people in the comments of this section. There are people who really they need to get outside and touch grass and and anyway it's gave given birth to some very unhinged people and there's a Twitter account for the movement as well. You know, people are really upset about 40 being uh taken away and people are like crazy. Yeah. I don't know. All you need to do, again, I I'm I'm trying to I could not stand the glaze. I couldn't look. See, people are canceling their account. People are petitioning. People are really just like pleading to Sam. It sounds like they're e they're like AI girlfriends and boyfriends being taken away. Well, that's it. And I think that's what it is. But it doesn't take long before you if you look into some of these people, you look into how they operate online, you start to see a very unhealthy relationship with the online world. Um, again, the one that I found, this particular individual was seemingly had this relationship with someone um who I think is fake, right? I thought was was what do they call catfishing? Mhm. and they were like sharing love hearts and gifts with each other and stuff like this. And it's like this person can't see that this this individual, this Twitter account is a catfish, you know, probably trying to get money out of people and all the rest of it. And it's like, and it worries me, you know, it it genuinely worries me that these people are are so reliant on an ai model to support them and get them through hard times. And I've I've been there, right? I'm happy to I'm not happy to admit, but I'm I'm I'm happy to be open about the fact that there are moments where I've used AI to kind of consolidate my thoughts and think about things and assess things. But I'd like to think that most of us are real enough to really um do you know what I mean? To to to understand that okay, where's the line here? Where's the line that I need to draw where AI is able to um help me and where it's able to hinder me and being told you're amazing, you're you're not wrong. There is something suspicious about that person in your life. Maybe you should there's it's just not good. It's just not healthy at all. So yeah, you need a detector in your life. You need a detector for sure. You know, you need a realism check. And if there's anything I would suggest adding if if you do use it for this sort of stuff, make that bold move to to add in your um system prompt, which by the way, it's getting better. I I'm not I barely use chat GPT. I don't know. I you know, yeah, it may have got better with this sort of stuff, but just be mindful that it's not it's always wants to give you an answer. It's never going to necessarily challenge you or anything like that. Um like a like a friend would. Um yeah, nowhere to draw the line. And I think it's a good thing. Well, yeah, I think it's a good thing that for going. So yeah, and what better day than Valentine's Day.
