Lately, I've been feeling pretty frustrated with the 4o model. It seems to contradict itself and only remembers bits and pieces of conversations, which makes it tough to use. Personally, I really love the o3 version, but I know it's not as versatile. I typically rely on ChatGPT for research and drafting emails, but the Apple integration leaves much to be desired. I've heard a lot of buzz about the new Gemini paid version and the potential for Apple to partner with Google for alternatives to ChatGPT. Is it worth checking out? I'd love to hear everyone's experiences with different models! Thanks in advance!

I think Gemini is probably the best alternative right now! The landscape is changing so quickly, though, so keep checking back for updates.
Honestly, the contradictions have been an issue since it first launched. I mentioned it in a post before – not much has changed on that front.
Have you tried clearing 4o's memory? Regularly doing that can help a lot. I’ve found that it actually improves quite a bit if you delete old conversations.
Thanks for that tip! I cleared its memory and turned off "reference chat history" since I like going back to important chats. I added what I wanted it to remember in my custom instructions too. I’ll see if it gets better and report back!
