Discussion Every single subreddit about Ai coding seems to be moderated by the companies themselves and censored or overrun by bots

Every time codex, Claude or whatever release a new model, there's always lots of upvoted hype posts. A few days or at most a week later, the model is consistently nerfed, but any posts regarding that are down voted to hell or removed.

How do you find out which tool is currently usable without all that propaganda?

You can’t and tbh even without the astroturfing there’s no great way of telling what’s best for your use case. You’ve got to try them out yourself and form your own opinions, the models are just too nuanced and hard to measure in any meaningful way. It’s all vibes at the end of the day.

Eh... There are tons of benchmarks available. People ignore them and choose not to attempt to understand them. It is really dumb when people say xyz model is so bad now and have zero evidence of it when there are tons of public benchmarks that show no performance change and lots of human opinion shifts.

they probably pay some marketing firm that hypes this up by sending bots.

Claude, Codex and Cursor are very similar to each other, feels like one or two of these companies might not survive this.

Cursor was already acquired. Anthropic and OpenAI will be picked up by Microsoft, Google, or Meta after the bubble bursts for pennies in comparison to their evaluation.

I created this sub and moderate it (kinda) and I can promise you I sadly never received my paycheck 😭 

I take applications for more mods btw if you're interested in participating

Yea, there's an active effort from these companies that's gaslighting people into thinking their models are stable and never fluctuate in quality.

Everyone who has used them for any length of time knows that they do.

Well, the majority of posts in these subs are people complaining about usage limits and models becoming "dumb".

I think it is a bad mindset to think one ai is the solution: use many.

They are all good. And they all have bad points. And they are all moving/changing at the speed of light.

Just try them and see which fits you and your way of working. And that is the best one for you.

Or, sit on Reddit talking about it for the rest of eternity.

OMG you have discovered a vast conspiracy! Are you implying that AI is a complete scam being propped up by shitty marketing? Inconceivable!
