Downtime is annoying, but the problem is that over the past 2-3 weeks Claude has been outrageously stupid when it does work. I have always been skeptical of everything produced - but now I have no faith whatsoever in anything that it produces. I'm not even sure if I will experiment with 4.7, unless there are glowing reviews.

Codex has had none of these problems. I still don't trust anything it produces, but it's not like everything it produces is completely and utterly useless.
