From my point of view, a lot of frustration is tied to LLMs not evolving at the same rate/manner as people around you do.

We're using human language against a system that produces human-like output, which tricks our brain into having similar expectations.

I don’t think that this is the case. I’m using Claude the same way I did at the beginning of the year, and results are increasingly more untrustworthy and I don’t know how to say it, but they are “less” for same effort from my side.

It is super anecdotal, but I’m convinced that Claude peaked in January/April period and since then is on steady decline. And I don’t know what they do in background, but the older models (Opus 4.6 in particular) have degraded too. Same for codex but I use it less overall.

“You were right to push back on this”, “my previous claim was too broad” - this is super annoying
