IME they basically rephrase the information I've put into it, rarely adding anything I didn't already imply I knew by my formulation of the question
Something to keep in mind is that gambling rules apply: if enough people flip coins, there is always someone experiencing a winning streak and someone experiencing a losing streak and majority that gets a mixed bag of roughly breaking even (mediocre usefulness and a waste of time)
my first week of using GPT4 every day I experienced great answer after great answer, and I was convinced the world would change in a matter of months, that natural language translation was now a solved problem etc etc
But my luck changed, and now I get some good answers and some idiotic answers, so it's mostly not worth my time. Some people never get a good answer in their few dice rolls before writing off the technology

Check out ollama.com. llama 3.1 is pretty crazy, especially if you can run the 405B one.
Otherwise, use Mistral/Mixtral or something similar.
