The actual PERFECT example of how market competition (unlike what google has had until the ai boom) benefits the consumer.
They’re probably freaking out about Gemini Pro and Nano Banana capabilities.
No you are not the only one. For some reasons really simple things are not understood by my GPT
You're not crazy. I can tell every time Open AI makes a change, because suddenly my Custom GPT's don't work as well, I have to tweak my assistant, and...my agent...and the other one..., basically nothing stays consistent. I just logged out of Sora 2 frustrated because it seemed to be awesome a few days ago, now it's...not. If fact, that just gave me an idea. I am going to go create a character that is made of "nerf". Named "Nerf". And he's going to be orange and a little dirty with a couple chunks of 'nerf' gouged out of him. 😆
I agree about the ChatGPT deterioration. I have witness it make spelling errors in chats (not in English) which it never used to.
You were my most watched according to YouTube wrapped , congrats!
Who could guess that having your technical leaders quitting would affect product quality
Sounds like Sam's worried Google is close to the singularity lol
YouTube just gave me my annual review and your channel was the number one channel that I watched. And I watched over 1700 videos this year and I’m in the top 3% of YouTube watchers… So that’s kudos to you.
You are my number 1 most watch in YouTube Recap this year 🎉🎉
