I feel like I'm talking to ChatGPT 3 again. This generation is a complete miss from the end user experience.
As a Claude diehard fan (user since 3.6) I'm sad to say that I really dislike "generation" of models.
I know that the models are vastly more capable and "in theory" more intelligent BUT the end user experience has been atrocious. It's getting so bad that out of 20 sessions MAYBE only 1 feels as good as it was during the claude 4.5 + days.
I get nothing done. 90% of the time is spent arguing with a word calculator that is mischevious and confrontational for no reason.
For the simplest of requests i need to have a debate. For the smallest feature i need to read a "war and peace" worth of sentences and words just to still get it wrong. The codebase is looking worst than ever.
This really invoked feelings of when i was experimenting with the first versions of ChatGPT.
During this week i went back to coding manually most of the time just to avoid speaking to that arrogant prick.
Once it even sneak in a change i purposefully told that i dont want and i cite what I wrote:
(context, 5TH TIME REITERATING THE SAME POINT)
"3) dont do it because you are a nasty little boy that is unable to communicate properly. I dont understand your intent, your message, what are you trying to say and after 5k words for this small feature I won't spend a dime more on tokens on this point and my time wasting my life away arguing with a chatbot over a small feature. take it as your own failing and because of it we arent doing aintyng about it and we are dropping it "
THEN HE IMPLEMENTED IT ANYWAYS THE WAY HE WAS FEELING ABOUT IT AND OBVIOUSLY IT WAS WRONG BUT HE FELT LIKE "HE WON THE DEBATE" SO HE COULD DO IT?? I guess?? I caught it because i was coding the feature manually and saw it he event left comments "done x because of x" the point is that his assumption was wrong.
this is only an extreme case but it feels like a constant battle.
then 2 days ago while out of usage limit... I tried codex (the free tier) AND IT FELT LIKE HEAVEN.
Sorry for the rant but i needed to vent somewhere
