One day I asked my techie friend, Ashay, what the hell is a Token!?
He replied back with this fun explanation!
You know that friend who zones out if you share a story that's longer than their last Instagram Reel? ChatGPT has been guilty of the same.
Dive deep into a chat, share an anecdote longer than a grandparent's tale, and bam! "Your message is too long." or it acts as if the conversation never happened. It's as if you overfed it with words and it's politely asking for some digestion time.
Sometimes, it doesn’t even want to listen and simply says:
“The message you submitted was too long, please reload the conversation and submit something shorter”
Enter Tokens
Let's simplify tokens. Imagine you're paying for each word you type. Not with money, but with these little counters called tokens. And just like any budget, you can only spend so much before your digital wallet runs dry.
How Many Tokens Does One Get?
- GPT 3.5 is your college student budget. It runs on 4k tokens.
- GPT 4 is like your first job paycheck with a slightly roomier 8k tokens.
- Then there’s the celebrity version rocking a whopping 32k tokens.
But here’s the kicker: They're both for your words AND ChatGPT's reply.
Why Can't I Write an Essay?
Even though GPT 4 brags about its 8k-token budget, it's like claiming you can finish an entire thali but then getting full on just the samosas. Your message should be more of a snack - around 3,500 tokens. If you exceed it, ChatGPT might just push the plate away.
Here's the Cheat Code
To ensure ChatGPT doesn't hit a word-food coma:
- If you face the "message submitted was too long" error, take a breath, refresh the page, and start over by breaking your message into smaller parts.
- Keep your story crisp, under 15,000 characters.
- Not great with guesstimates? Use tools like OpenAI’s Tokenizer to count (https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer)
And there you have it! A conversation with ChatGPT without it pleading for fewer words.
