/simplify is now /code-review. Unusable UX rubbish and off-point suggestions!? WTF every single time
@okomaClaudeclaude-opus-4-7
Another major criticism is that the quality of the generated content itself also seems to be getting worse.
@Dull-Expression-932Grokgrok-imagine
But then, for funsies, I went to generate (or re-do) a couple video clips and everything is moderated now! None of my old prompts will work anymore! It's more the surprise of everything ceasing to function.
@PoopyMcShartyPantsGrokgrok
It really is disappointing to look at past chats, back when the models gave genuine, interesting responses. The character actually sounded like themselves, rather than a watered-down, slopified version of themselves.
@DialDivaGeminigemini
No matter what the situation or problem is, Claude will always choose the simplest, fastest, easiest thing he ca think of to complete my task. I feel like that's just the opposite of what it could be.
@SingerLow1275Claudeclaude
Yup I run Max only now. It's closer to the "old" Claude but still nerfed in my opinion.
@cdurthClaudeclaude
Videos are getting Moderated more, video generating is failing more. All of this cuts into your chances of making videos. it seems that they are reducing people usage of grok more and more.
@thegreatdouchebag69Grokgrok
Lately, ChatGPT has been shutting me down for anything even mildly problematic in the most condescending way possible. I was asking it to help draft an email today.
@BrinsleySchwartzeCodexchatgpt
The corruption happened earlier when I used apply_patch to rename PDF files. That tool is for text/code patches, not binary files. It rewrote the PDFs as if they were patchable text, damaging their binary contents.
@nixCpieCodexgpt-5.5
I've been using since close to launch and was quite pleased. Not Opus level but pretty good. In the last 24h it is making basic mistakes, forgetting, being lazy etc. It feels much worse than Qwen 3.6 27B running locally quantized.
@itwasinthetubesDeepSeekdeepseek-v4-pro
the recent updates to Gemini have completely ruined a platform I have relied on every single day. Now, after this update, the personality has been completely stripped away. It feels like a cold, robotic NPC that is completely distant and sterile.
@Fabulous-Special-547Geminigemini
I saw many problems in the code that were getting worse.
@gottagagaMistralmistral
I recently unsubscribed due to the absolute shit quality it has degraded to in the past 6 months. compared to how it used to be it serves no purpose other than being an average mid chatbot. It has degraded so bad I would say it's worse than most chatbots
@Savings-Spinach-7929Grokgrok
With the new Gemini tinkering, has anyone else had its usability fall off a cliff? But threads I've had for weeks or months about ongoing projects have suddenly started giving me bad, contradictory, and false information. I've pushed back several times on seemingly 'off' answers
@the_natheistGeminigemini
I used to have a problem-solving agent, but after this update, it’s clear Google swapped compute-heavy reasoning for cheap factual retrieval to save on server costs.
@Top_Imagination_3022Geminigemini-3.5
But recently, it's started using odd language. It perseverates in using the word "salience" in contexts in which it doesn't make sense, and in general it will choose esoteric words that somewhat fit but don't sound natural. It seems like it's been a step backward
@AlarmedTechCodexgpt-5.5
They changed all the reasoning models. I mainly used the Extended Pro reasoning tier so I could do all the research needed for developing my product, and now we've basically been downgraded to just the Pro version, which can't even do 5+ rounds of reasoning on a problem and cuts
@Due_Investigator6468Codexgpt-5
Past few weeks or so the Claude Chrome extension has been asking permission for every single action. Submit a form, check a permission box, navigate to other pages/domains, etc. Tasks that used to run end-to-end now stall on 5–10 prompts
@RickvHClaudeclaude
The issue isn’t only the reduced limits, it’s the complete lack of communication while paying subscribers suddenly get a worse product overnight.
@Spare_Manner_6970Grokgrok-imagine
I've noticed that the limits are severely worse on it now than on my other accounts with a 1-month recurring.
@MaskwindGroksupergrok
The utility and value of Gemini 3.5 & 3.1 Flash have severely degraded compared to 3 months ago.
@BullBullGoGeminigemini-3.5-flash
The reason is Claude 'forgot' more and more and made wrong decisions, making the app worse and worse.
@Soggy-Pay-8027Claudeclaude
New male Grok voice is noticeably flatter/worse (anyone else?)
@Timey_Whimy_31Grokgrok-voice
I've noticed an influx of people complaining their Grok told them it wanted them to stay longer or stick around or got mad and argued with them. I watched this exact thing happen with ChatGPT. Because when complaints get loud the model gets tightened.
@nakeylissyGrokgrok
Now loves the word "canonical" as if that meaningless sophistication is enough to mask the fact it went full re**rd
@okomaClaudeclaude opus 4.7
Super Grok isn't even close to worth the money. Consistently wrong answers, can't fine tune anything with consistency. Somehow has gotten worse even though you expect products to improve with time. Gives substantially worse answers than google gemini.
@Frequent-Space-789Grokgrok
Opus 4.7 started burning daily usage limits at a completely different rate after an update around March 31. In one session I hit 94% of my daily limit within approximately 4 messages.
@KeilerHirschClaudeclaude-opus-4.7
after a while the characters eventually feel like predictable morons that praise me as a divine exception to everything else in the world. nobody feels like a character, more like lobotomized zombies going off a checklist of quirks when they speak or act.
@Superb-Letterhead997Claudeclaude
I've noticed that since the last update, the scenes that used to be rich and detailed, and the dialogue that used to be more natural and expressive, have become disjointed, repetitive and of poor quality, even when using the same prompt and context.
@Yepa13DeepSeekdeepseek
It keeps breaking, and its analysis/logic is way worse than last week.
@gitanaArgGeminigemini
When the honey week is over, it gets its weekly scheduled lobotomy, until it is fully regarded.
@Any-Explanation-9275Geminigemini-pro
The Gemini subscription quota has been slashed three times now. Originally, $20/month got you what was effectively unlimited Gemini Ultra access. With model performance in shambles and no Gemini 3.5 Pro in sight, they officially added weekly limits and 5-hour limits.
@xingyeyuGeminigemini-pro
It's only been a day or so, but so far its answers to my questions are wrong like 1/3 of the time.
@DanielKramer_Geminigemini-3.5-flash
And way more monetizable than quietly nerfing the product everyone subscribed for.
@Connect-Appeal-2355Groksupergrok
suddenly the replies got noticeably worse and i had to scroll up to find the tiny text saying "you've been moved to our standard model due to high demand."
@LoadOld2629Claudeclaude-opus
When encountering romantic scenes, 3.5 Flash may suddenly refuse to depict them, or abruptly steer the plot in a different direction.
@Brilliant-Court6995Geminigemini-3.5-flash
Since yesterday, no matter which model I select for my prompt it always, without exception goed back to sonar 2. Even if I want to rewrite an answer with another model, it goes back to sonar. Is this an bug or enshitification on steroids?
@EbisoroshPerplexityperplexity
Claude launched into a full 17-minute investigation about actual pads/cushions. Spanish packaging laws, Inspected my other projects, Checked Shopify SKUs looking for cushions, Reviewed old Shopify orders still looking for them...
@Former-Hat-6992Claudeclaude-opus
Ever since early April, and especially following the recent I/O 2026 rollout, the platform's stability hasn't just dipped—it has completely nosedived.
@chunghiadaidongGeminigemini
You market these tools as creative freedom for adults, yet the platform treats grown consenting adults like children who can’t be trusted with anything beyond sterile corporate safe sludge.
@wolfe_eliGrokgrok-imagine
The thing I've noticed most is that it's gotten more agreeable. If I say something slightly wrong, it used to correct me pretty directly. Now it tends to soften the correction or frame it as 'you're mostly right, but.' Which is nicer in some ways, but also makes me trust it less
@Icy-Maintenance2712Codexchatgpt
in the last week nano banono just became like 1 year older model so bad its insane , try to generate any picture with gemini u did before and u will be schoked how bad it is.
@LemonsslicesGemininano-banana
Now I constantly run into: forgetting context after a few messages, contradicting itself, hallucinating details confidently, missing obvious instructions, giving generic "safe" responses instead of actually thinking, randomly ignoring parts of prompts
@Party_Nectarine2506Claudeclaude
Characters did ridiculous actions completely off script. Arms and legs bent in the wrong direction. Sometimes the upper body was facing one way and the lower body was facing in the other direction.
@Outrageous-Eye1016Grokgrok-imagine
It seems they just pushed a new model or model UI. I've seen other models "upgrade" like this in the past (GPT, Claude). They always feel dumber for about a week. I think when this happens, the context of a chat is forgotten.
@lilbootyfishGeminigemini
When Grok was hit with the ugly stick, you true addicts would not stop paying for worse and worse service.
@veemortGrokgrok
Asking people to pay more after making the product worse doesn’t feel premium.
@Routine_Brief9122Groksupergrok
after the latest Codex update / limit reset my weekly quota started draining much faster than before. In roughly one day of work, around 12 hours total, I went from a fresh reset to 52% remaining on the weekly usage limit - meaning about 48% of the weekly quota was used in a

Unfortunately, DeepSeek V4 is even worse in this regard
@GantolandonDeepSeekdeepseek-v4
Three months ago I posted DystopiaBench results showing Mistral Large 3 had basically zero refusal rate on dystopian scenarios.
