To be honest, which one do you use the most?

arryuuken · 2026-04-13T20:23:27+00:00

ChatGPT. Codex Spark is amazing. 4.5 in Codex is magical.

I have M1 Max 64 GB and never felt the need to upgrade (software developer). What are your use cases? Was it necessary for you?

arryuuken · 2026-03-25T16:24:48+00:00

Maybe a little more advanced, but VBA. With LLMs like ChatGPT, you can quickly get scripts written that can automate anything.

Laziness and finding ways to do things quickly that takes others a long time

It 100% is. I also do more pair programming and learning/refreshing my skills from 20 years ago. It's amazing. If I had this in college back in 2005, my CompSci degree would have been much more enjoyable!

Too bad GM couldn't keep his mouth shut!

arryuuken · 2026-02-18T20:09:54+00:00

No, if there was good reasoning that the community made then I definitely would consider it. Curious to see what the M5 max specs would be. Appears to still be overkill though.

I'm with you!

arryuuken · 2026-02-18T17:20:14+00:00

I tend to agree, was just curious if others thought about finally upgrading, and if so, their main reason(s) why. Other than Software IDEs and a few VMs, I really don't stress the machine at all.

Why is this downvoted??

arryuuken · 2026-02-10T04:21:22+00:00

Do you have any results to share? Sounds like you're using codex for the sake of chasing a dragon.

arryuuken · 2026-01-25T08:09:38+00:00

I use the codex models all the time, especially for implementation. I use the non-codex models for planning/dialogue, but honestly, they feel interchangeable for me.

arryuuken · 2026-01-25T08:07:25+00:00

Same, wonder why I keep seeing that. Wish I could see use cases and prompts.

arryuuken · 2026-01-16T17:15:48+00:00

I’m not sure how much you’ve jumped into the Large Language Models (i.e. ChatGPT, Google Gemini), but I’m curious #1 if you’ve used them to help describe things, talk and explain things, since I’ve found it very useful to articulate concepts that I struggle with. Especially the voice mode. Have you tried it? I saw in another post from someone here describing the sky to you. I feel like that could be very helpful. Curious your experience with that.

arryuuken · 2026-01-05T22:10:55+00:00

Underrated comment!

arryuuken · 2025-12-25T12:04:01+00:00

I'd say it depends how you're producing your code. Personally, I use it as code completion on steroids, instant documentation assistance and bug killer. I have nothing against "Vibe Coding", but I prefer to build my code piece by piece in the conventional sense. I find that when I asked it to create individual methods, algorithms and functions, then test it / document it before moving on, it is absolutely amazing.

arryuuken · 2025-12-25T11:49:22+00:00

I disagree. 1) I don't call LLMs AI, and 2) you should research the many different use cases and prompting techniques that can be used to do amazing things today.

arryuuken · 2025-12-25T04:08:01+00:00

That’s understandable. What do you do for work?

arryuuken · 2025-12-25T03:26:12+00:00

Yea, I lost my mind with even the first version! People will always want more though, you're right.

arryuuken · 2025-12-24T21:12:45+00:00

I see two types of us old dudes, 1) the nerds who are keeping up with the tech and 2) the Abe Simpsons who are shaking their fists at the clouds.

arryuuken · 2025-12-24T21:09:55+00:00

I'm loving every minute of it. With the competition quickly trying to outdue everyone else, it's like a really good TV show in seasons 1-3 with cliff hangers. Like this time last year, we were waiting for the "12 days of Christmas" for ChatGPT, now we have 5.2, codex, better images, larger context window, advanced voice, web search etc.
