After having used Chat GPT for a while to just check it out, I had decided to not use it due to the high water consumption and me not really needing it for a while. Now that I had discovered the Buy from EU movement and am dual using Reddit and feddit right now, I decided to check out EU made AI solutions and the most promising for me right now is Mistral Le Chat, even though I will probably only use it occasionally just like Chat GPT. I am still glad that I support a european made solution and alternative to not give money, or in this case, revenue from data selling to a literal fascist billionaire...

I started using Le Chat a few weeks ago, also inspired by the Buy From EU initiative.

While I'm missing some creature comforts (memory, projects), the experience is good enough for me to switch. I've canceled my Chat GPT subscription because of it. Remember to export your data from OpenAI. It gives you a raw dump of all your conversations and customizations.

I may need to 'retune' my prompting because I was getting slightly better responses with o3 for coding. Also a warmer tone in conversation. But it wasn't enough to stop me from moving over.

I just hope that features like memory or a general inprovement in quality of answers, tone of messages etc will be brought to Le Chat over time once the programme gets patched further. Thank you for the tip to export my data from open AI
