Chat is not nearly as smart as using chatgpt and cluaude online

Curious if anyone is having issues lately. The chat in cursor is giving pretty bad suggestions and I end up going to chatgpt or claude websites and getting much better results that seem to grasp things better and give better suggestions. Anyone else having this happen lately?

I’ve had this issue with Normal Chat when attaching multiple large files and asking for a complex edit. It’s been much better with the Long Context Chat in general.

There have also been many reports about Claude providing worse suggestions for the last week and a half.

Interesting I wonder what changed. It was pretty solid when I first used it. now it’s losing context pretty badly. I’m sure it will improve.

Yeah I’m noticing this aswell

Yeah its not ideal… and lots of bugs as a fork vscode, and the issues with Pylance. I think I am going back to Cody with vscode. Maybe Ill come back to Cursor in the future when they get things working a bit better. The only real advantage I have found over others the multiple line edits and tab completing, but even that has been letting me down a lot lately. I gave it a good try at least!
