> they will only get better. I don't buy that's true. The "only" part, anyway. Look at how UX with software has evolved. This is gonna be an old man yells at clouds take, but before smartphones, there were hotkeys. And man, you could fly with those things. The computers running things weren't as fast as they are today, but you could mash in a a whole sequence thru muscle memory, and just wait for it to complete. Now, you have to poke at your phone, wait for it to respond, poke at it some more. It's really not great for getting fast at it. AI advancement is going to be like that. Directionally generally it will be better, but there's going to be some niche where, y'know what, ChatGPT-4o really had it in a way that 5.5 does not. (Rose colored glasses not included.) | ||

> they will only get better. Then came the new Claude update, which many people say is worse. Even Anthropic says it got worse.[1] HN discussion back on April 15th: [2] Some of this is a pricing issue. Turning "default reasoning effort" down from "high" to "medium" was a form of shrinkflation. Maybe this technology is hitting a price/performance wall.
