I was surprised when (finally) trying out Claude how much I preferred Gemini's way of communicating. I wont argue Claude is better at coding, but for knowledge work, I had to dig through Claude output to find what I actually wanted. At times, it even felt borderline incomprehensible.
- hiimkeks 20d agoJust today I had Sonnet 5 generate this (asking about always-on display in the iPhone e-versions): > This mirrors how Apple has always segmented Pro vs. non-Pro iPhones: base models got LTPS panels while Pro models got LTPO, and only with the mainline iPhone 17/17 Plus did that gap close the standard versions previously lacked the smoother 120Hz ProMotion technology and the always-on display feature, unlike the Pro models — the 17e is the one model line still using the older, cheaper panel. (emphasis mine) I mean, I can guess what it is trying to say, but who RL'd this nonsense?
- malshe 20d agoFable 5.1 even today inundates prose with "it's not this, it's that" type of garbage. I had to rewrite two paragraphs from a generic class announcement which I was planning to post on the LMS. Not sure where that productivity gain is that everyone is talking about.

- robotmay 20d agoI couldn't even stand 4.6 by the end. 4.5 was very usable, 4.6 started alright and somehow got more annoying. 4.7 made me quit my subscription and ditch their services entirely - it's an honourary member of my quite short "Coworkers I'd like to throttle if I didn't work remotely" list. Infuriating to instruct or communicate with.
