Is anyone else’s CHATGPT painfully slow?

[StiffAsAVicar]

It’s barely usable for me today because it’s just so slow, it’s not been great for a week or so depsite “upgrading” to the Pro version. On Mac, trying both safari and chrome. Any tips welcome 😁 my internet speed is great and stable.

Not had any issues myself, but then again it’s normally horrifically slow anyway so perhaps I just wouldn’t notice a difference.

Probably scarping up the last remaining bits of water from some poor village to make it work.

Mine has been irritating me by taking longer than usual to reply… it says ‘thinking for X seconds’ and the other day it was 35 seconds which isn’t long but annoyed me! Especially as I pay for pro.

Environmental Impact of AI

Consider not using it unless it's absolutely necessary. Or at least understand how much power and how many resources it takes to run - might help you understand why it may be being a bit slow.

Mine is the same, really annoying.

Boo hoo.

Did you need ChatGPT to come up with that reply for you?

No, that’s all me ☺️

The thinking just means you asked it a complicated question that triggered the reasoning model. In theory the answer should be better. In practice I just can't be arsed with the whole thing any more.

What are you all using it for? I really hope it's something astoundingly important that would have taken you weeks otherwise as it is so environmentally destructive.

This gets pumped out on every chat gpt thread. The world is using AI.

I have realised a colleague has been using AI for technical writing. Which I think explains why recently, his output nearly makes sense but often slightly misses the point in a baffling way. It might save worknfor the writer, but IME it makes extra work for the recipients/readers who have to think harder to follow and sometimes second guess what is being said.

What do you use it for?
You sound like you use it daily - no judgment I'm just curious what for

I would have eye-rolled at this a few weeks ago but I’ve finally read up on it and everything that’s linked to it. It’s been quite a trip 😬

How about you use your critical thinking skills, instead of letting A.I think for you?

Honestly such a boring response

download CHATGPT LightSession extension from chrome. Its like a temporary fix. works wonders for me
