This article is not about ChatGPT, but GPT-4. I've found the latter to be significantly better at being a coding assistant in all areas: the code actually compiles and often works out of the box. Even better than chat, I can paste it's generated code and simply respond with any errors given and it will fix it accordingly, something I had lots of trouble using chat to do. GPT-4 is that much better and it makes sense to me that the author is lamenting now and not 4 months ago.

I'm using ChatGPT-4.

For coding, at least for me, it's marginally better than 3.5. In fact, I sometimes prefer reverting back to 3.5 to get speedier output.

I am finding ChatGPT-4 much better for other tasks that have less strictness requirements. Such as parsing through a large text and summarizing it for me, and for creative tasks.

But in ChatGPT you can toggle the model between GPT3 and 4 in the premium version.
