I keep hearing this comment everywhere Claude is mentioned, as if there is a coordinated PR boost on social media. My personal experience with Claude 3.5 however is, meh. I don't see much difference compared to GPT-4 and I use AI to help me code every day.

Yeah they really like to mention it everywhere, like yeah it's good but imo not as good as some people make it out to be. I have used it recently for libgdx on kotlin and there are things where it struggles, and the code it sometime gives it's not really "good" kotlin but it takes a good programmer to know what is good and what is not
I think in more esoteric languages it wont work as well. Python, C++ it is excellent, suprisingly its Rust is also pretty damn good.

(I am not a paid shiller, just in awe of what Sonnet 3.5 + Opus can do)

Kotlin isn't exactly an esoteric language though
User error.
