They cut down the sample size about 5-7 years ago, anyway, by like 90%. I learned this not through a press release, but by going through their metadata. This was a long time coming. Their business model just isn't very profitable. I wish, instead, they just sold it off to another company to continue the same methodology and maintain the prior data. This frequently happens. There's value in having a poll that has been running for at least 5 years. Much value in a poll that has been running for like 100 years.

Claude/Anthropic is more focused on productivity (Coding, Spreadsheets, Reports). ChatGPT seems more focused on general-purpose LLM (Research, Cooking, Writing, Image Generation).
Makes sense that MS would partner with Anthropic since their tool-use for productivity (Claude Code) seems superior. I personally rarely code with ChatGPT, almost strictly Claude.
I'd argue that Anthropic still has a hard edge on creativity for things like emulating people's comments.
I've fed into several models my past reddit comments (with the comments it's responding to) and asked it to duplicate the style. Claude has always been the only thing that comes even close to original responses that even I think would be exactly my response, wording and all.
GPT or Gemini will just borrow snippets from the example text and just smoosh it together to make semi-coherent points. Scratch that. They're coherent, but they're just unmistakably not from me.

What if I just modify the code to misspell things that no AI would misspell?
What do you suppose we as website owners do to prevent our websites from being DoSed in the meantime? And how do you suppose we convince/beg the corporations running AI scraping bots to be better users of the web?
If I'm being honest... I expect the websites to keep returning errors and have hopes that those that employ you to at least start to understand what's going on.

You're a young guy that just dabbled in coding or are you a senior software developer?
I think more often you'll find it's the mediocre coders (like myself) that have trouble using AI. The software developers and CS majors just know exactly what to tell it to do and in the *exact* language it could best be understood. That's just my experience.
Also, I get caught up in multiple errors that will never go away and, since I'm stepping out of my wheelhouse with libraries or packages I'm completely unfamiliar with, I'm completely helpless but to diagnose what went wrong myself and improve upon my code prompting skills.
Don't get me wrong. AI makes possible many things for me. However, I think professional coders probably accomplish much more.

It'd be nice if they underwent tests and developed fine-tuning data that was proven to work rather than using fine-tuning data made to cater to human preferences.
When I would look at Copilot's searches, it was as juvenile as what my grandma would type right after I taught her what a search engine was.

That explains www.blockbuster.com linking Sling TV.
I feel like it should instead link to a video in the sling.com domain with almost patronizing instructions on how to convert their login to Sling and promote it as "Your very own Blockbuster at home".

Looks like it's still open, at least based on Google Maps.

Appears the "OPEN" light was on in July of 2021 from street view.
I don't recall them doing polls for commission like almost every other poll does.
