This is what I've noticed.

When I was privately paying $200 a month, the models were consistently making inexcusable mistake, forgetting things they should have remembered, etc.

When I "upgraded" to chatgpt and Claude business account because my firm got them, the stupid mistakes suddenly disappeared.

When I was privately paying and getting increasingly frustrated at the mistakes I suspected it was intentional: two steps forward, one step back, to keep me paying. Once I had a business account it was like holy shit!

Anyways, the new trend is overcomplication. Instead of making stupid mistakes, the models now overcomplicate everything. Claude apologized for putting "armor on a rowboat."

ChatGPT does it too. They both do it as a default. Heads up.

Btw, if you aren't doing this, you need at least two AIs. I have a Google Chrome tab split screen for each client. One half chatgpt and one half claude. I copy and paste back and forth until they reach a consensus. That's my workflow.
