I see concerning actions by OpenAI that have made me cease supporting them.
I already posted about my experience with ChatGPT. Despite being a paid customer, the service was inaccessible, they didn’t provide customer support, and they temporarily made me unable to cancel my subscription. As a result, I switched to Claude, and I’ve been a happy customer ever since.
According to Business Insider’s article “Don’t ask OpenAI’s new model how it thinks’ unless you want to risk a ban“, things are going downhill at OpenAI. So, I switched to Cursor, using its Claude model instead of GitHub Copilot, which I canceled. Cursor is working great so far.
Void is yet another AI-centric Visual Studio Code fork, like Cursor. It’s especially promising given its support for a wide range of LLMs, including local ones. It’s early days, though, so I’m not switching yet.
I encourage everyone to hold companies, such as OpenAI, to certain standards and switch when these standards are not met.
