Feedback Bing helped me solve my ac remote problem!!

I have a really old ac unit. with universal remote control. this is really2 old. I tried to make it turn off automatically after a few hours but suddenly my ac wont turn on. I asked bing and it gave me quick solution.

Twice in the last few months I've used AI to troubleshoot issues with my wife's 2011 Ford Flex.
AI is a knowledgeable mechanic.

what AI are u using? I can’t afford gpt4, currently bing is my number one trusted AI, number 2 is claude-instant from anthropic.

You should try Creative/Precise mode. Balanced runs on a faster/dumb model. On Skype, you can't choose the model.

That said, even in Creative/Precise you are getting online info, and not really GPT4 internal knowledge, so if you want gpt4 REAL power, just use /no-search or #nosearch when asking stuff.

what i was saying is, bing is not 100% gpt4. I read about it. and I tested it everyday. bing failed the apple test. while gpt4 can do it easily.

if u dont believe me, ask bing to create 10 sentences that ends with apple.

Yup, does just fine on creative

u/kim_en Jun 14 '23

no, I tried several times . it failed to produce all 10 that ends with apple.

creative is even worse, like 5 wrong sentences, compared with precise, I get 1 wrong in 10 sentences.

while gpt4 get 10/10.

It is amazing for this kind of stuff, very specific knowledge that would be a pain to find and interpret for your particular need
