alt Hacker NewsChatGPT was brutal for it a couple years ago. You could tell when it would go into “lazy mode” during peak usage periods.
Suddenly instead of writing the code you asked for it would give some generic bullet points telling you to find a library to do what you asked for and read the documentation.

ChatGPT web has been doing this for a week now, for me. Ask some technical question and get a reply absolutely filled with AI phrases (Not $X, Just $Y, the key insight, the deeper insight, etc) dominating about 50% of the text, with the remaining 50% some generic filler stuff partially related to the tech I asked.
Last night I read through a ChatGPT web response about solutions for a security bootstrapping problem without holding keys/password, and it spat out pages and pages of key insights, all nicely numbered sections with bullet points in each section, without actually answering the question.
Moved to Claude Web immediately, got a usable answer on the first try.
