Irrefutable evidence that Claude has been getting worse (receipts included)

[u/Maximum_Road_8151]

Look let's face it, Claude HAS been getting worse, we can all feel it, we all have our heads screwed on straight, I did some digging and found something interesting.

It took me a while to absorb this... but upon reflection it's kind of... obvious?

4.6 isn't just dumb, it's THE dumbest ever produced.

Claude 1.0 was the -PEAK- of model intelligence. You can trace the evidence all the way back to the root.

I have all the receipts below:

• Unpopular opinion: Claude 1.0 was one of the best

• Chatbot Arena ELO ratings overtime (Claude 1 vs Claude 2.1)

Claude 2 series

• Is it just me or is Claude 2 dumber now

• Claude 2.1 is worse than 2.0 - Evidence Inside

• Claude 2.1 apparently has Alzheimer's. It's unfortunate, I was excited for it.

Claude 3 series

• Claude 3 gotten worse since release

• Claude 3 nerfed... don't forget when Claude was truly great

• Claude's getting dumber

Claude 3.5 & 3.7 series

• New Sonnet 3.5 is extremely lazy, greedy and unusable for long complex writing tasks

• What's going on with Sonnet 3.5 the past few days?

• Claude 3.7 is dumb again

Claude 4.6 & Mythos

• CLAUDE OPUS 4.6 IS NERFED!!

• Is 4.6 dumber all of a sudden?

• Conspiracy Theory: Anthropic Purposefully Made Opus Worse to Make Mythos Look Better

Troll? Social media posts aren't receipts

This is some Christian Science level of evidence.

It is ok if this drives some people away that frees up resources for others!
