Very similar experience, although I didn’t use claude for anything in production, but I did try some tests with some few topics and questions on things that I know, and while initially it works very well, but as soon as you dive deeper you get all sort of extra none sense that was never asked to add/do nor it’s useful, just workarounds after workarounds after duct tape solutions, several times I would say “no, why are you introducing xyz, that will cause this and that” to get similar answer of “thanks for pushing back, you are right bla bla”.

We probably hit peak generative AI last year, now they probably use AI to improve the AI so it’s kinda garbage in garbage out, or maybe anthropic is deprioritizing users while favoring enterprise or even government where it provides better quality for higher contracts.
