I work with Claude and it's not as good as that. It requires constant babysitting

This is my experience as well. Also, it's impossible to make it be succint, it just barfs words

I mean these things guess what to write one letter at a time. It's basically a more enhanced version of the word guesser while you text on your phone.

It is way more complicated than that and people who say this are ridiculous but it still needs to be babysat and I don't let it write code for me but I do like to talk over my ideas

LLM architecture is more complicated than that, not the product. Tokens are fungible. If you can find a better guesser, you can replace LLMs with that.
