...then you need to strengthen the area that does NOT have bullet holes (surely you know that anecdote).

If the use-cases are written, by happy users that use chatgpt, then you need to strengthen the areas that nobody writes a use-case for. Like me, cause I cancelled my subscription in frustration; you won't get a use-case from me therefore.

Survivorship bias. Interesting take. Did you cancel because you couldn't identify a valuable use case for yourself, or GPT can't meet your needs?

I am an experienced C++ programmer and talking about C++ with chatGPT is never helpful beyond the most basic things that I can also look up on cppreference.com. I mostly tried to use GPT to help me with math, but it just can't do that. It's hit and miss, especially miss. I wasn't doing anything more complicated than solving N equations with N variables; but even when you guide it through it step by step (multiply left and right with ...; subtract equation 3 from equation 5) it would make often mistakes and if I was too late spotting that and in at end of the derivation found that the result didn't work, you can't say: "The answer is not correct. There must be an error in the derivation that we just did. Please find it. " Well, you can SAY that - but it won't find it. I expect a computer to be better at that, more precise (took me only 5 minutes to find it myself).
I know it is an LLM, not mathematica, and I'm not mad at all. It's just not for me. I am worried about seeing loads of people using chatgpt for serious business though, because also there there will be zero understanding, reasoning, logic or care about any errors made. That being said, I WAS using the "Wolfram GPT" - I don't think it actually contacted the wolfram cloud like ever, and when it does - it times out. Ugh.

Do you have any interest in exploring its ability (GPT-4) to use Python tool (used to be called Advanced Data Analysis/Code Interpreter) to keep track of and do math, including more advanced calculations?

It doesn't call out, and you can see everything it actually does. It can use that as a tool to handle tracking math and other information handling that it's not good at, like letters and placement for a hangman game.

Like, here it and I tried to set up an example of it using Python tools to solve an equation set that it picked. Took it 3 tries, because its randomly chosen example equations were not independent and the matrix was singular, but third try it showed it.

You can also tell it not to use numpy library, and to write functions and calculate out whatever you please.

It already did that; and that is a slight improvement, but also less transparent (much harder to spot the errors that way). A few major flaws of GPT-4 is that it never admits it can't do something, nor does it ever ask questions in order to be able to do something (better). It also seems to always agree with me and tell me I'm right, even when I am not. When it comes to math, there is a Truth - and I can't accept a computer that confidently gives mathematical results that are just wrong. It's not helpful.
