It looks like this doesn't work for users without accounts? It works when I'm logged in, but not logged out. I went ahead and reported it to the team. Thanks for letting us know!

I picked up Claude today after being away and using only ChatGPT and Gemini for a while.

I was pretty impressed with how they’ve improved user experience. If I had to guess, I’d say Anthropic has better product people who put more attention to detail in these areas.

I agree! I recently migrated from ChatGPT to Claude and it is just superior in every way. It doesn't blather on the at the end ask me for clarification. It's succinct and clarifies vital information before providing a solution.

I held off migrating from ChatGPT to Claude Code due to being a laggard that lived in the Eclipse world. I didn't believe what I was told that I wouldn't be writing code any more. Pushed into action by recent PR gaslighting from OpenAI, I jumped to claude code and they were right - I barely venture into the IDE now and certainly don't need an integration.

ChatGPT has given more for my 20$ than any other vendor. And that’s not even considering codex which is so good and the limits are much much higher

fwiw: I get a valid response when following the steps you mentioned. I do not get the message you mentioned:

EDIT: oh, but I'm logged in, fwiw

Following this process summarizes the blogpost for me. Perhaps the difference is I'm signed into my account so it can access external URLs or something of that nature?

If only they had an LLM they could use as a software testing agent.

Did it complain about copyright issues?

Most AI integration is like this. It's not about building working products --- it's about bragging that you put a chatbox in your program.
reply
This is such a stale take. In the past 3 years I’ve worked on multiple products with AI at their core, not as some add-on. Just because the corpo-land dullards[0] can’t execute on anything more complex than shoehorning a chatbot into their offerings doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of people and companies doing far more interesting things.

[0] In this case, and with heavy irony, including OpenAI, although it sounds like most of this particular snafu is due to a bug.

I feel like this is just a disagreement of what "AI integration" means. You seem to agree that the trend they're describing exists, but it sounds like you're creating new products, not "integrating" it into existing ones.

Kinda reminds me of crypto. There are certainly very interesting things happening in the crypto space. But the most visible parts of the crypto universe are the stupid parts (buying PNGs for millions, for example)
reply
Genuinely curious, not being combative...what very interesting things have happened in the crypto space lately?
reply
I mean, to be fair, both things can be technically true. There can be lots of interesting things being done, even while most can be low-effort garbage.

But this is just Sturgeon's Law (ninety percent of everything is crap), not an actually insightful addition to the discussion, and I very much agree it's a stale take.

Probably intentional. They don't want open, no-registration endpoints able to trigger the AI into hitting URLs.
reply
But, why include the non-functional chat box in the article?
reply
Different team "manages" the overall blog than the team who wrote that specific article. At one point, maybe it made sense, then something in the product changed, team that manages the blog never tested it again.

Or, people just stopped thinking about any sort of UX. These sort of mistakes are all over the place, on literally all web properties, some UX flows just ends with you at a page where nothing works sometimes. Everything is just perpetually "a bit broken" seemingly everywhere I go, not specific to OpenAI or even the internet.

reply
That's why it happened. It still shouldn't have happened.

It's almost like people are vibe coding their web apps or something.

reply
If only there was some kind of way to automatically test user flows end to end. Perhaps testing could be evaluated periodically, or even ran for each code change.
reply
There is no business value in doing that.
reply
There most certainly is, but maybe the time spent on it could be better allocated to something else.
reply
Yeah, like adding more features.
reply
They're having service issues - ChatGPT on the web is broken for a lot of people. The app is working in android - I'd assume that the rollout hit a hitch and the chatbox in the article would normally work.

Welcome to a big company where pretty much everyone has been working full steam for years, in order to take advantage of having a job at a company during a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
