One thing that I find truly amazing is just the simple fact that you can now be fuzzy with the input you give a computer, and get something meaningful in return. Like, as someone who grew up learning to code in the 90s it always seemed like science fiction that we'd get to a point where you could give a computer some vague human level instructions and get it more or less do what you want.

It's mind blowing. At least 1-2x/week I find myself shocked that this is the reality we live in

Today I had a dentist appointment and the dentist suggested I switch toothpaste lines to see if something else works for my sensitivity better.

I am predisposed to canker sores and if I use a toothpaste with SLS in it I'll get them. But a lot of the SLS free toothpastes are new age hippy stuff and is also fluoride free.

I went to chatgpt and asked it to suggest a toothpaste that was both SLS free and had fluoride. Pretty simple ask right?

It came back with two suggestions. It's top suggestion had SLS, it's backup suggestion lacked fluoride.

Yes, it is mind blowing the world we live in. Executives want to turn our code bases over to these tools

What model and query did you use? I used the prompt "find me a toothpaste that is both SLS free and has fluoride" and both GPT-4o [0] and o4-mini-high [1] gave me correct first answers. The 4o answer used the newish "show products inline" feature which made it easier to jump to each product and check it out (I am putting aside my fear this feature will end up kill their web product with monetization).

You say it's successful, but in your second prompt is all kinds of wrong.

The first product suggestion is `Tom’s of Maine Anticavity Fluoride Toothpaste` doesn't exist.

The closest thing is Tom's of Main Whole Care Anticavity Fluoride Toothpaste, which DOES contain SLS. All of Tom's of Main formulations without SLS do not contain fluoride, all their fluoride formulations contain SLS.

The next product it suggests is "Hello Fluoride Toothpaste" again, not a real product. There is a company called "Hello" that makes toothpastes, but they don't have a product called "Hello fluoride Toothpaste" nor do the "e.g." items exist.

The third product is real and what I actually use today.

The fourth product is real, but it doesn't contain fluoride.

So, rife with made up products, and close matches don't fit the bill for the requirements.
