It’s worse that I thought. Both 3.5 and 4 butcher Python code by skipping words and inserting “```python” whenever you click the “Continue generating” button.
Literally unusable now.
Not to mention they even made the entire context window thinner and now there’s a horizontal scrollbar and code off screen.
Considering how long I’ve been using Python, and how it looked when I started, it is to me. And here is the ancient one I was previously using:
This wasn’t always this case. I had zero Python experience a month ago, and managed to make a 300 line Python script that checks credit card validation, and has a beautiful UI. This would be impossible today.
I mean, I could copy the code that works, but it’s not really the point.
Not only did it apologize mid-codebox and not even comment it out, it started the code from the top again instead of actually fixing.
Just so asinine and bad it’s not even worth analyzing further.
Oh great, so now I have to pay on top of my Plus membership?
A couple of prompts already cost be $0.03. I could easily run up hundreds of dollars if I used it as much as I have in the past.
Do you have any tips or preferring settings when using the Playground to code?
