It’s been shocking to see Claude go from an AI model that seemed one upgrade away from taking over most of the routine tasks in my day job to not even being able to reliably download a webpage without lots of prompting.

@carnage4life Had a bewildering use of this yesterday where I requested it to use a saved palette in a plot I needed tweaking (but was too lazy to Google the functions), and it went into a 20-minute token-devouring loop trying out different palettes and discussing aesthetic choices with itself.
@tootstorm I’ve had similar experiences this week where instead of using a skill I use multiple times a day to access a service it spent several minutes coding up different solutions against the API then gave up.
