Event with good detailed prompts AI will still deviate from the plan, will still loose track of what was doing.
It is a great tool to improve the speed of shipping, but at the moment, it is not a replacement for humans. Not if you are going beyond the basics.

There’s nothing like real time out of work to get the juices flowing again.
Not thinking about work from time to time is the best thing to get back at work full speed.

Been running Claude Pro and ChatGPT Plus side-by-side for a bit.
Honestly? I never use anything GPT generates. Claude just consistently has better results - code, writing, whatever.
Only real use for GPT: challenging Claude’s suggestions and generating images.
Anyone else seeing this pattern? 🤔
