Where are these uncensored chatbots you speak of?

- Right? That should be literally the only takeaway from this article. ChatGTP is super fucking boring, to the degree it won't even have a regular conversation about banal topics like alcohol anymore.

  They tied it in knots so hard that it will refuse to respond to so many perfectly boring scenarios with the equivalent of 'I'm sorry Dave...'.
  
  Not only that but recent updates have for some reason eviscerated it's effectiveness with programming queries.

- Using the SillyTavern UI has been pretty successful for me.

I really doubt the number of people using uncensored chat bot is that high. The drop of usage probably has more to do with novelty and AI general limitation.

The AI models are not always that easy to use and they are being developed at neck breaking speed, so I cannot imagine the numbers of people dedicate themselves to use such AI would be that high.

There is a niche of using AI chatbot as RP tool for sure, but it has always been a separated thing from the start and it cannot cause such sudden drop.

- And Bard

  Is that one really worth mentioning though?

Oh my God! That's awful! Which ones?! Which sites, specifically, though?! You know, so I can call for bans.

- Hugging face is where you get the models from

This might be a US centric view, but the drop could be associated with the fact that school ended in May and not as many people used it in June.

It also could be the novelty wearing off

- Does school in the US usually end in May? In Canada, grade school goes till June. But by the time you get to June, it's largely final exam season and I don't see how an AI would help with that. Surely AI cheating is more for regular assignments, not exams.

  In the northeast, college ends in May and grade school ends second to third week of June.

- As an AI language model, I lack the ability to gauge how interesting any individual might find any given topic, and therefore unable to fulfill your request to tell you something interesting.

- Phind might be what you're after.

Could be due to schools getting out for summer?

It makes me laugh anyone cares about a censor. I guess 10 per cent of the userbase wanted to nsfw chat with waifus? Judging by the stable diffusion community on surprised it's not 90% 🤣

I would be interested using it for my work, so offline commercially licenced models are more my interest due to privacy. Unfortunately my 1080ti doesn't seem very capable of running anything useful. (Also the offline models aren't as fast or advanced)

I'll stick to redacting the information I give gpt!

- Two issues I ran into were I like midjourney for grimdark artwork, but it shies away from certain things like blood, and getting chatgpt to generate poetry/lyrics with dark motifs.
  
  But more generally, I honestly just hate being mollycoddled by a god damn robot. I'm a big boy, I know what I asked for, and I can handle the results.
  
  22
- 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!)
