The annoying text scrolling can't be removed because the AI generates one word at a time, which is what you are seeing.
Sure it can. Finish generating it server-side, then send it as one big chunk to the user.
To be honest though, ChatGPT is pretty fast at generating text these days compared to how it was at the beginning so it doesn't bother me as much.
GPT-4 isn't fast yet so if it will frustrate people if they do that.
What still bothers me, is that it doesn't do smooth scrolling while generating. It's tons of tiny jumps and hiccups which make it very hard to read. I tend to scroll up a little as soon as it has generated a few lines, then read at my own pace. Annoying default behaviour though.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I do if it's going to be a long block of text. If not, I usually just wait.
Having it just say "Generating Text..." then give a percentage, then just show the entire thing would be preferable to me. I'd like the option even if it wasn't default.
That's what Bard does
