They need to focus on fixing reliability first. Their systems constantly go down and it appears they are having to quantise the models to keep up with demand, reducing intelligence significantly. New features like this feel pointless when the underlying model is becoming unusable.

I have not noticed a degradation in Claude, but I feel that with Gemini 2.5 Pro.

I've not felt it with Claude. Gemini becomes slow and unresponsive at times. However Cursor routinely turns into a toddler banging on the keyboard. God forbid I press the tab key to move a line, lest Cursor deletes some CSS classes halfway down the file.

Anthropic needs to continue burning cash and goodwill in hopes they extend the runway to IPO.

They do not seem to care at all that what they're peddling is just elaborate smoke and mirrors.

Does Microsoft Copilot do this already? Isn't it integrated into Windows and MSFT Office products? Has it been working out for Copilot? Is it helpful? Adoption rates of AI are interesting to say the least.

Yeah copilot and cursor have no problem doing file manip afaik - creation, deletion, rename

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This can't be understated. I started using it heavily earlier this summer and it felt like magic. Someone signing up now based on how I described my personal experiences with it then would think I was out of my mind . For technical tasks it has been a net negative for me for the last several weeks. (Speaking of both Claude Code and the desktop app, both Sonnet and Opus >=4, on the Max plan.)

Have you considered perhaps that you are, indeed, out of your mind? Or more precisely, that you could be rationalizing what is essentially a random process? Based on the discussions here it seems that every model is either about to be great or was great in the past but now is not. Sucks for those of us who are stuck in the now , though.

Yes, but I'll revisit.

I hesitate to use phrases like "bait and switch" but it seems like every model gets released and is borderline awe-inspiring, then as adoption increases, and load increases, it's like it gets hit in the head with a hammer and is basically useless for anything beyond a multi-step google search.

AI is not useful in the long term is is unsustainable. News at 11.
