One thing I find fascinating; go to any forum/subreddit/whatever for any LLM thing, and it will be full of people complaining that it's not as good as it used to be, and that OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/whoever is intentionally degrading it, because they are so evil and want their products to be worse.
Then a new model or tool comes out, all is wonderful for a bit, then repeat (except for GPT-5, oddly; that one seems to have inspired hatred from the start).
It rarely seems to occur to people that familiarity breeds contempt; once the novelty wears off people start noticing the problems. The model isn't getting magically worse, you're just _noticing_ more.
- boplicity 1y agoWhen GPT 5 came out, I was using GPT 4 mini for a regular automated task. This had been working quite well for some time. It stopped working right when GPT 5 came out. I switched to GPT 5 mini, and it started working exactly the same as it did previously. So yeah, I'm pretty sure they nuked GPT 4 when they launched GPT 5.
- mvdtnz 1y agoI can't speak for all models but I can tell you for an absolute fact that Claude has degraded recently. Yes I've noticed it subjectively but Anthropic have also straight up come out and said "lol oops we 'accidentally' made it way worse, now that you've all noticed we'll roll that back". https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1nc4mem/update_on_recent_performance_concerns/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1nc4mem/update_on...
