(which has led me to believe that's a good approximation for hedonic adaptation, I've seen tons of attempts at demonstrating nerfing via benches, none persist)
Brilliantly put. Hedonic adaptation is exactly what it appears to be.
It’s frustrating to observe communities made up of smart, professional individuals as they behave like spoiled children on the day after Christmas when new toy novelty has begun to wane.
I understand it’s relatively harmless but for goodness sake, take a step back and appreciate what you have instead of immediately wanting the thrill of a newer model. Slow down and do deliberate work to get the most out of these amazing tools. Don’t just live off the temporary thrill of finding something marginally better than what you have.
"wow this model is really good I can push it so much further"
_pushes model further_
"Ugh why is this model failing now even though I'm asking it to do harder things and also got sloppier with my prompts because I got used to it being able to figure stuff out"
