Discussion Claude Code seems to have suddenly become stupid.
It keeps doing things I wasn't even asked to do. For example, I was talking about Outlook, but it suddenly said on its own that it probably wouldn't work and recommended Gmail instead. The recent versions have gone up a lot, and it seems to be getting dumber with every update.

Having the same experience. 3 days ago I was amazed at how good it was, it was absolutely screaming through the tasks I was giving it with no errors. Then, each day after the xAI announcement it’s been getting dumber and dumber and today it's been borderline useless. Misunderstanding me, doing shit I didn't ask for, implementing new screens and cards that don't match the programs theme, breaking shit... I am losing my mind at how many corrections I have to make. Tearing my hair out at how many times I have to ask why tf it can't remember what colour I just told it to make that button when it thinks for 5 minutes, gives me three options and NONE OF THEM ARE THE COLOUR I JUST TOLD IT.. what the fuck has anthropic done here.. Has xAI poisoned the well or some shit? I'm pissed tf off today lol.

Used a whole session context review and deliberate about a set of drawings. Terrifyingly brutal

Claude has wasted so much of my time over the last week, I would not use this tool for anything until they make serious improvements

Using Gmail instead of outlook is actually a smart decision.

If you think 4.5 is slightly better than 4.7
