What they do not have is a version of chatgpt.com that is not a slow, awkward, glitchy mess.

As a user of Astra, it writes code that appears to work. It does not necessarily write sensible code that is architected in a way that makes sense based on what it does. I just watched it do a major rework of a couple thousand lines of code by keeping the original organization and kludging up an adapter to make old code have new semantics.

I would expect that this approach, coupled with lots of fun asking for changes and none of the grunt work of actually thinking about the result, could result in exponentially increasing amounts of mess.

I haven’t used a recent Anthropic model - maybe it’s better at this.
