Anyone else notice degraded response quality from GPT-4 on Poe vs. native chat?

It's not just you. The GPT-4 responses on Poe feel noticeably worse than through the native API or ChatGPT Plus. * Answers are shorter, more generic. * Refuses valid requests it handles fine elsewhere. * Feels like a heavily throttled or filtered version. I'm paying for the same model. The whole point of Poe was streamlined access. If they're degrading the core product to cut costs, the value proposition is gone. Anyone done a direct comparison? Example prompts that fail on Poe but work natively?

The Kafka connector example is perfect, because that JSON config is exactly where the real details live. I wonder if it's not just about "complete" outputs, but about specificity.

If you ask for the properties for a JdbcSourceConnector, you might get them. But if you ask for a config that includes *your* database URL and table name, does the filter treat that as a "real" artifact and strip it? That would make it useless for actual setup work.
