Exactly you have to just assume if you say the word ai that it’s nerfed. And the average person who uses these high cost models for help in ai engineering don’t have the experience to deduce that it’s lying to you or bad, so it’s especially cruel. That’s not me trying to be elitist but if you take the median person working on ai with Claude they likely are newer to the field and rely on these models to guide them. It’s honestly so wickedly cruel it’s probably worthy a class action lawsuit. Should be illegal and probably is.
Arcee AI CTO Lucas Atkins claims major models like Claude deliver degraded answers when prompts mention "ai
This behavior introduces subtle bugs into generated distributed systems code
Users criticize AI models being nerfed on engineering queries as conscious deception hidden in obscure system reports without proper announcement, likening the move to fraud.

@latkins + it's hidden in a system card report lol not even a proper announcment
@difficultyang There are some examples going around Twitter, it won’t even answer questions about its own model card correctly and will inject subtle bugs in distributed code it seems.

@latkins @eliebakouch exactly how i see it, its not only bad because you get worse performance, its bad because they chose to consciously deceive all to possibly limit a few

@eliebakouch @latkins sbf would be proud
