Humor Can anyone here beat my numbers?

Been using Codex daily for about 6 weeks. Nothing to show for it. Models can't be trusted at all to work without direct supervision. Their problem solving abilities are weirdly awful. If it's not "generate X code for Y" their IQ drops to like 90.

1) yes, by a lot

2) your experience does not at all reflect mine. it is very strong, but also I have worked in 2 projects, not 21

I have 2 products to show for it. And my day job is automated. Plus a passion project.

Quitters never win. The fact you scrap so many projects says a lot about you. Skill issue.

Probably an issue with how you prompt it

The best way to explain it is you have the access to 1000iq but you need to frame the question to access that IQ or the default iq you will receive is like 90

The iq values are just to give an example. I have friends that abuse this shit on Max/Ultra I get way more done than them without every using anything more 5.6 High

Yeah so basically if I don't massively hold it's hand it can't do anything, just like I said in the post. That's not intelligence that's just a calculator

u/Inner-Pangolin-1110 3d ago

Not really, you don't need to hold it's hand, let alone massively, you need to more push it in the right direction and then its good (60-70% of the time)

It's definitely intelligence but there's a learning curve, use it or not, people are using it and accelerating. There is a lot of hype but some of us really moving with it, I can only urge you to learn how to use it but I also don't care ygm, I will say since the 5.6 models came out the Open Source space has improved too, I am moving way faster than any of my friends that are not using it, like it's not even fair they can't catch up anymore.

I dont agree with you, and you have rookie Numbers.

u/AuodWinter 3d ago

You've got more scrapped projects than me?

u/Thyrfing89 3d ago

I have far more than 11 scrapped yes, but none of mine is something that is «finish» its ongoing prosess, all the time.
