Somehow the models apparently get better and better every week, but every time i try to use them they get worse.

Am I the issue? Am i just misremembering the early times because it was a new thing?

You are holding it wrong!

No but for real, what is your usecase?

Do you acutely think something like gpt3 was best?

I dont have a real special usecase, i just use it whenever i think it will give better results than googling or thinking or i dont feel like getting annoyed by cookie popups.

And i dont think gpt3 was best, but it felt like it actually listened. Now i tell it: "You did this and this wrong, i specifically told u the exact opposite. Can you please do what i asked you?" And then it says something like: "Oh yes my bad, you are right and very very smart to have caught that you must be a super genius. I will now do what you asked me" Does the same wrong thing again. and again and again.

I ask it to fix a mistake, it tells me it fixed it, gives 1:1 the same thing with more errors.

It also feels like it forgets mid convo way faster than it did.

Mhh, I don't observe this. Hard to say.

You probably know this already, but be sure to don't reuse a AI conversation with different context (Having a single chat for both cooking and coding is nono). Often starting a new chat is better.

If it forgets what you said it sounds a bit like you use one chat for too long, or you use a too small model (fast, air, haiku, nano etc.)

...you sound like a typical opus-person :P Just use anthropic's flagships if you want good instruction following, focus in long convos, and proper understanding of guidance-when-wrong.
