"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

(I linked to the Yahoo version of the article because it's not paywalled. Original WaPo article is here.)

Since its public launch in late 2022, [OpenAI] promoted [ChatGPT] as a “revolutionary” productivity tool transforming the future of work. But, in an analysis of 47,000 ChatGPT conversations, The Washington Post found that users are overwhelmingly turning to the chatbot for advice and companionship, not productivity tasks.

I've found Sonnet 4.5 requires more context building for bigger code asks to yield the same general quality - but the ceiling seems higher. I can context build with 4.5 and accomplish a larger swath of things without getting stuck spinning on rote garbage whereas with 4 that seemed to happen often.

I've also found that context building using Opus 4.1 (and now 4.5) to be pretty useful, then feed that into Sonnet 4.5 for actual execution gets sort of the best of both worlds while reducing cost.
