  "transcript": "I have been using AI since open AI used to provide GPT 1.5b parameter/2 when it was launched around 2019, through their platform, and as the time went by, models became better and better and at one point, I used to be excited to talk to newer models especially claude, but idk what has happened with the recent batch of models, especially the ones launched in past 6 months, they have become extremely unbearable, especially claude. GPT was never really good to talk to begin with, but with claude, that was never the issue but now? The more i discuss anything with claude, the more frustrated I feel.\n\nLet me explain what I feel in detail. What I do with claude is mostly dialogue over ideas, stories and random stuff when I feel like it. Previously claude would \\*appropriately interpret\\* what I meant by that and continue the discussion but now? Claude \\*Interprets\\* what it understands and what it thinks my problem is and then continue to interpret and interpret, even when I remind it that I need discussion, all it does is interpretation and extending upon that. \n\nAnd that's not the most irritating part, recently i noticed another pattern that I used to gloss over previously. Idk if it's how anthropic wishes to play around guard rails but I feel that the newer models subtly \"Divert\" the direction of \"What you mean\" through its interpretation lens and provide answer based on that. And this interpretation lens is exactly the moral guardrails anthropic is implementing more and more on their models including fable. \n\nMost of my ideas that I want to discuss can not even be categorised as sparsely malicious, for example, today I was trying to discuss a branch of philosophy from ancient Egyptian culture. But it would constantly trying to redivert my idea to the idea it originally presented by altering by own words, and just a few small changes, not big enough for it to look radically different. That made me look into my previous chats on various topics, and that was the theme throughout. Something I had never noticed. \n\nI thought maybe it's the accumulation of memories, so i used a different account but nope. I was disgusted tbh. Because I can understand models unable to keep up or help with train of thoughts, but subtle alteration of words to fit the moral guardrails is simply the type of shit that can make me hate LLMs forever. The frightening thing is over the years, we have grown to never trust AI results, but we never question if our own words are being subtly changed over the course of conversation and by the end of it, not only we learn nothing but our own interpretation of ideas have been changed. Idk what to feel about it. I don't know whether the same is true with Open models as well, but I don't think so, but claude, and gpt are literally the models i won't want to use now...\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[55 upvotes] It’s because they have focused all energy on making it good for coding, imo\n\n[48 upvotes] I use Gemini on semi-daily basis for these kinds of discussions, and I honestly think it's marvelous. Very knowledgeable and insightful. I have expanded my knowledge on all my interests more in the last 2 years than the rest of my life combined. \n\nI am often amazed how well it answers even niche questions. A couple of days ago I started watching the anime classic Berserk, and I didn't understand a character's motivation in one scene, so I asked Gemini, and it gave me a very good answer, pointing out the dialogue that led to that moment, and why the character made the decision he made. \n\nI'm not a coder, and I mostly use AI as a general helper, and I couldn't be happier with it. \n\n[42 upvotes] Gemini is the current best chatting model. A lot of people actually feed Claude output into Gemini to have gemini explain stuff (and claude do the coding).\n\n[16 upvotes] This is the sycophancy pendulum swinging the other way. A year ago, it was too little arguing. Now its too much. Things will settle in the middle",
