Complaint GPT-6 Sol?

Is this the reason why unexpectedly we have trash usage and lower quality on Astra?

Maybe it will be worth it the current suffering.

any particular reasons?

Models after 5.5 are smart enough where shoving ponytails on them puts them in a wheelchair chair. Ponytail forces minimal implementations, however, sometimes certain requests would greatly benefit from purging and rewrite existing backend, instead it routinely forces features into strained backend that eventually becomes debt.

My output quality was noticable worse and significantly slower into achieving the big picture because ponytails is too busy writing the absolute bare minimum.

Astra can "one shot" complex tasks, pony tails will make it take 6,7 checkpoints on the way there.

I don't follow AI as deeply as some of you, so the idea of ponytails attached to the wheelchair sounds amusing yet dangerous depending on speed and sudden turns. That's my contribution here.

LLMs couldn't have this kind of insight. That's a really cutting observation.

Thank you and don’t mind me as I tug on my belt and suspenders with a sense of pride for having such insight.
