Ah so it's not just me. What's a good backup these days? Gemini? GLM?

try cursor with auto its more stupid but does the work

Ended up going with Z.AI because it's a drop-in replacement. Back in business for now.

Has anyone else pretty much stopped using AI at this point? The only thing I use it for to help generate README's or Javadocs, and then heavily edit them. I had it in my workflow and it burned me so many times I just went back to google and stackoverflow.

I've never started. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And also not going to. I see enough crap, colleges produce, to never touch this pile of dung.

I didn't even know they had a status page. Claude (with pro subscription) is often so unreliable with regards to connectivity and performance that I'm looking for something more predictable. It randomly fails halfway through a response, sometimes very slow to start, hangs for long periods during a response, and so on. The Claude chat interface can also slow down with long sessions. I sometimes use Claude code which i…

My go to is "are you stuck" for some reason that seems to snap it awake, it feels like it takes offense to the question and gets back on track. On a side note, I'm anthropomorphising too much, gonna have to upgrade and get some top rate therapy...

If I have a question for SO these days then I ask Claude instead and tell it to use SO where possible. It's preferable to actually asking it on SO which often results in the question being edited, downvoted and closed by someone with an anime child profile picture.

What was the question like? "How to print a decimal in C"? Valuable questions aren't downvoted. If you ask about something that could be found on the first Google page, then no surprise you are being downvoted.

It's a reminder to never rely on something as flaky as AI for your important things.

It's a reminder to not rely on a single service. Logic not strong in this thread.

Yeah lesson learned. But only took 10 minutes to swap out to GLM

Smart move making it a drop-in replacement.

Try Gemini to see how bad it can really get. Most of the time 2.5 pro requests fail for unknown reasons over the App. Claude and Chatgpt are way more reliable.

It almost never fails via AI Studio though. Also I doubt fails you see really have anything to do with LLM itself, capacity or backend.

It's just Google own UIs and apps are almost comically bad.
