People, refuse to be A/B tested!

If you paid for X but are now receiving Y, you should be entitled to get your money back.

Every time I consider going back to Claude, I remember that mysterious week in February when Claude was failing to do even the simplest things. Things were so bad i used the free BigPickle to correct errors Sonnet was making.

And let's not forget the king of A/B testing here. Google has no issues breaking products for months just to test some ridiculous idea.These people should be publicly fired.

100% agree. I don't care how many reddit bots i see praising Claude, I bought max once wanting to see what the fuss was about, and the next day they broke the product and it was really embittering

Google is known to make user facing A/B testing whenever they feel like it.

They can one day decide to rearrange the Gmail interface to absurd levels by removing the TO field or replacing everything with a big Gemini button.
