Original Reddit post

I’m not saying that lightly. This is after using it extensively, recreating my context files (claude.md etc). Reading anthropic’s own prompt guidance, etc. I think there is two things happening right now: Benchmarks are influencing people’s own experience of reality “This sucks. No, wait a sec, it’s 10% ahead of the previous version on artificial analysis. It has to be better. I must be missing something”. The record is “being corrected” by paid PR agencies and this muddies the waters completely because they’re extremely good at what they do (I think they do the majority of the meme posts on this subreddit. They’re too cringe to be organic.) Low skilled or non-coders or people generally without discernment or the ability to themselves judge the models are louder or more online than the people who can. I think I was deluded by number 1. personally and it was causing a lot of frustration. My gut feeling is that this is another money model: Overcooked and lower parameter (which explains why fast mode is cheaper now). Also that it was post-trained with much much less human input and more by another LLM. It’s extremely verbose and the slop factor is turned up high. Reading the long, ai slop passages that come out of it in a hot torrent and splash all over my terminal makes me sick and my eyes blur. Reflexively sometimes I hit cmd+k to clean it off immediately–just to get it out of my face. Just to not have it sitting all over my screen, steaming. submitted by /u/No-Replacement-2631
