Weird thing I've encountered. I've seen all the stuff you say, but not all at the same time.

The stuff I'm getting from ChatGPT this week has been absolutely garbage. Back in the very early days you might prompt 5 times and see if it was consistent with itself in the conclusion, even if not how it got there; this week it's not even been that. But back in those days the UI was also fast, today it lags massively on relatively short chat sessions.

Ugly, dubious, incorrect, it definitely feels like a regression. And its love of emoji hasn't gone away.

Claude no longer works for me on Safari, only Chrome. No lag at least, but the free message allowance has shrunk a lot.

I'm not too fussed about messy code, given the humans I've worked with, but that's about it.

Even the ChatGPT image model is… for all the improvements in the model itself, the UX isn't good enough to make up for what the model still can't do. In many cases I actively prefer running Stable Diffusion locally because that's easier to fix the last 5% than having to deal with a completely different 5% wrong each time.

But yeah, correction very possible. Was thinking so just on the basis of the % of US electrical power being called for: that can't possibly be sustainable for the broader economy.
