Tech/Programming communities have also noticed that recent changes to the censorship model has messed with the validity and quality of the responses ChatGPT is providing.
I've ran into the same issue recently, where some questions I've asked (like converting a JSON to a Typescript type) are now telling me how to do something instead of just doing it. So I've been relying on ChatGPT a little less - and I imagine I'm not the only one.
Actually, I've had a slightly opposite experience. I found that while asking it general programming questions, it initially tried to exain to me how I could achieve what I was looking to do, and lately it has been jumping straight to writing example code (sometimes even asking for my existing code so that it can modify it)
I've definitely found the playground to be more useful than chat, but it of course can cost more if you're burning through a lot of tokens (I've been at least doubling my plus subscription every month!)
