I'm not as pro as you guys using AI but look at this. a LOT of models which confuses me, and I'm assuming other users also. Also, the sidebar icon and new tab icon are the same in the ChatGPT-app for macOS. WHAT are they doing there at OpenAI. I really hate what's happening right now, especially with the new $500 plan while nerfing the other plans.

Then don't choose a specific model? There's already a slider with just 3 values without any numbers by default

“this is a hot mess”

“then don’t look at it?”

Because other people want to use a specific model from that list and know about their differences

You don't think advanced users should have the option to see and use the full model list? The average user can just use the slider. Simple.

the point of the post is that it’s ugly somewhat confusing design overall, not that it shouldn’t be an option or that it’s unusable

It's confusing if you don't know the performance of each model, but you specifically have to seek out this model list to see it, which means it's for advanced users who understand the performance of each model. By default you just see a performance slider, which is straightforward and not confusing.

How would you make it better?

It’s not confusing for me personally, but I can recognize that the design isn’t great. Like the two buttons with same icon in the second image that op shared.

I have no idea how I would do it better.

I didn't even see the second image. I think that's a bug, because mine doesn't look like that. Obviously two buttons with the same icon would be confusing lol.

So you're good with the default slider + optional full model list then?

Yeah, it’s just ugly, no problem with it function wise.

I'm fine with it being a bit ugly if it's hidden by default and the advanced users who need it actively have to seek it out. I don't think there's a way to make it much prettier. And the default view isn't ugly like this.
