I just tried a comparison of ChatGPT, Claude and Bard to write a python function I needed for work and ChatGPT (using GPT-4) whined and moaned about what a gargantuan task it was and then did the wrong thing. Claude and Bard gave me what I expected.

I actually considered starting a similar thread because I noticed this as well! Lately, it feels like GPT-4 is trying to get out of doing my work for me :D.

I've also started to notice it's been making a lot of typos eg. yesterday while converting Kelvin to Celsius, it incorrectly stated that 0C is -274.15K, despite correctly stating in the previous sentence the correct value of -273.15K.

What is the read latency?

Thank you for this comment!

Bots here refers to automated traffic, and I don't think anyone on HN would be surprised by the assertion that most online fraud is automated.

Fraudulent activity by bots is a problem that everyone who's managed a large enough website is familiar with.

Most bots originate from cloud IPs or hide behind proxies and VPN services. Our scores ensure that the majority of legitimate users i.e. those coming from residential IPs are left alone, with captchas and other verification mechanisms shown to "high risk" users, that is, users visiting from a cloud provider's networks or a known proxy/vpn provider. This can be verified by the number of comments on this thread by users whose home internet IPs showed a high "Trust Score".

So if anything our scores help reduce the hassle or friction that legitimate users are subjected to by the fraud-fighting tactics employed by different websites.

To clarify, showing captchas is what a number of our customers do and I doubt they do it as aggressively as google.

Geoblocks are unfortunately often necessary to comply with the law or contractual obligations eg. media streaming.
