<p>I re-subscribed to GPT's "PLUS" plan after ditching Anthropic for lack luster results...  one of the first coding tasks I gave it resulted in a progress/thinking message that said something to the effect of (it vanished too quickly to get a screen shot unfortunately):<p><pre><code>                   Evaluating client value  
  </code></pre>
It took me aback. Note: the code had nothing to do with "client value".<p>Behind the scenes it is not hard to imagine OpenAI, Anthropic, et al simply minimizing processing for clients - like me - that are hopping from one to another to chase the just released SOTA model.</p>

<p>Looking at the comments for that product I suspect it'll find a home in your junk drawer rather quickly.<p>I've ordered gizmos from Lilygo in the past and found their support/documentation/updates to be very poor.  Once a product is out the door they seem to do little further with it.<p>Churning out new products seems to be their forte.</p>

<p>I hit my limit on the project I've been working on (after I let "MAX" run out and moved to "PRO") after about only 2 hours!<p>TIP (YMMV): I've found that moving the current code base into a new 'project' after a dozen or so turns helps as I suspect the regurgitation of the old conversations chews up tokens.</p>

<p>Nicely done.<p>It inspires me to tackle a project I've been holding off on for many years: OCR my grandmother/great-grandmother's cookbook.  It's about 100 pages of collected and annotated recipes from the 1930-1980s.<p>OCR and AI have become sufficiently capable (as you've demonstrated) to properly scan, index, and classify the recipes into something I can share with relatives online or as an ebook.</p>

<p>This is what I've been doing for a couple years now: having AI help to code/test projects that I've had in my long TODO list but would never realistically started/completed.  AI is now pretty capable of producing decent code if your specifications are decent.<p>I still think that non-programmers are going to have a tough time with vibe coding.  Nuances and nomenclature in the language you are targeting and programming design principles in general help in actually getting AI to build something useful.<p>A simple example is knowing to tell AI that a window should be 'modal' or that null values should default to xyz.</p>

One completely died, the other has stuck with its formula and hasn't disappeared, but has just faded into irrelevance.</p>
