4o hallucinated for me today and it struck me that I haven’t seen ChatGPT make anything up in weeks, even though new models are supposed to be worse. Must be because most of my queries now use o3 or o4-mini with web search. If AI can do a web search, it seems to drastically improve the results.
@manton You haven’t seen anything that you know ChatGPT made up. 😉
But you are definitely right, the quality has gone up drastically.
@nertzy Ha, fair enough. Most of what I get from ChatGPT is code, which is easy enough to verify. But I do think the web search acts as a kind of quick fact-check before we even see the answer.
