I ask then unironically then, am I imagining that models are great when they start and degrade over time?
I've had this perceived experience so many times, and while of course it's almost impossible to be objective about this, it just seem so in your face.
I don't discard being novelty plus getting used to it, plus psychological factors, do you have any takes on this?
You might be susceptible to the honeymoon effect. If you have ever felt a dopamine rush when learning a new programming language or framework, this might be a good indication.
Once the honeymoon wears off, the tool is the same, but you get less satisfaction from it.
Just a guess! Not trying to psychoanalyze anyone.
