I used to recommend Claude to everyone.

Now I find myself hating it more every day.

Claude has been my go-to AI tool for the last 6 months.
But now I'm having second thoughts...

Something has changed over the last month.
It genuinely feels "stupider" than ever.

Here's what I'm noticing:

1. Always second guessing
2. Needs handholding
3. Just doesn't get it

Let me break it down:

1. Always second guessing

Claude changes its answer mid-response. It'll tell you one thing, then immediately correct itself in the same sentence.

2. Needs handholding

I used to write one line and get exactly what I needed. Now I'm writing paragraphs of context just to get a half-decent output.

3. Just doesn't get it

It feels like it's lost the ability to read between the lines. You get the answer to what you said, not what you actually meant.

And honestly, I'm struggling to see how this is accidental.

Whether it's server costs, making it too safe or deliberately dumbing it down before a new release. Something is going on.

I'm now using ChatGPT more.
And that's something I didn't think I'd ever say.

Is anybody else experiencing this or is it just me?
