[Feature] Automatically select model for ChatGPT Plus

[dvcrn]

Feature description

ChatGPT Plus users have the option between Default and Legacy model

Default model is now the previous "Turbo" model which is quite bad compared to Legacy. Would be nice if this app could automatically select the correct model when starting a new session

Motivation

Alternatives

No response

Additional context

Here's a ghetto inject script to do this:

const wantedModel = "Legacy";
setInterval(() => {
    const selectedModel = document.querySelector("[id^=headlessui-listbox-button] > span").textContent;

    console.log("selectedModel", selectedModel);

    if (wantedModel === selectedModel) {
        return;
    }

    // Toggle dropdown
    document.querySelector("[id^=headlessui-listbox-button]").click();

    // timeout to wait until dropdown opened
    setTimeout(() => {
        // Get models
        const models = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("[id^=headlessui-listbox-option] > li")).reduce((prev, cur) => {
            prev[cur.textContent] = cur;
            return prev;
        }, {});

        console.log("models:", models)

        // Select Legacy model
        models[wantedModel].click();
    }, 200);
}, 1000);

Thanks @dvcrn here is the version I use to default to GPT-4:

const wantedModel = "GPT-4";
setInterval(() => {
    const selectedModel = document.querySelector("[id^=headlessui-listbox-button] > span");
    if (!selectedModel || wantedModel === selectedModel.textContent) {
        return;
    }
    // Toggle dropdown
    document.querySelector("[id^=headlessui-listbox-button]").click();
    // timeout to wait until dropdown opened
    setTimeout(() => {
        // Get models
        const models = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("[id^=headlessui-listbox-option] > li")).reduce((prev, cur) => {
            prev[cur.textContent] = cur;
            return prev;
        }, {});
        // Select wanted model
        models[wantedModel].click();
    }, 200);
}, 1000);

changing the chat.conf.json also works

In case someone's trying to find this, it's located under this path (on Windows):

C:\Users\Your_User_Name.chatgpt\chat.conf

Even though this works, clicking on the New chat button would default to GPT 3.5 again. This only works when the app is launched, or when the page is refreshed.

        }, {});

        console.log("models:", models)

        // Select Legacy model
        models[wantedModel].click();
    }, 200);
}, 1000);

Where do you create the inject script? Did you edit main.js? Some simple instructions would be much appreciated.

[dimitri-vs]

@chaoscreater You just replace or append to the contents of main.js which is found in ..\%user%\.chatgpt\scripts\main.js

One thing to note is that the script needs to be modified now that there are multiple options for GPT-4 (web browsing, plugins) and this script will prevent you from being able to select them.
