On: Something weird is happening with LLMs and chess

Why do you doubt it? I thought it was well known that Chat GPT has degraded over time for the same model, mostly for cost saving reasons.

ChatGPT is - understandably - blatantly different in the browser compared to the app, or it was until I deleted it anyway

[lukan → permo-w]

I do not understand that. The app does not do any processing, just a UI to send text to and from the server.

There is a small difference between the app and the browser. before each session, the llm is started with a systems prompt. these are different for the app and the browser. You can find them online somewhere, but iirc the app is instructed to give shorter answers

Correct, it's different in a mobile browser too, the system prompt tells it to be brief/succinct. I always switch to desktop mode when using it on my phone.
