Is there any AI that feels smarter than ChatGPT lately?
This is a genuine question. I’ve been using ChatGPT pretty much every day for work and other stuff, and it used to feel insanely helpful. But recently I can’t shake the feeling that it’s getting… dumber? Or maybe just more generic and slower. And no, it’s not about the plan or starting new chats. I’ve tried that. I also tweak my prompts a lot. Still, sometimes the answers feel repetitive or kind of surface-level compared to how it used to respond. Is it just me, or has anyone else felt this too? Are there any other AI tools out there that actually feel smarter right now? Not just different — but genuinely sharper in reasoning, depth, or creativity?
