Using this is the first time since GPT-4 where I've been shocked at how good a model is.

It's helped by how smooth the 'artifact' UI is for iterating on html pages, but I've been instructing it to make a simple web app one bit of functionality at a time and it's basically perfect (and even quite fast).

I'm sure it will be like GPT-4 and the honeymoon period will wear off to reveal big flaws but honestly I'd take this over an intern (even ignoring the speed difference)



All that's missing is for Anthropic to figure out how to apply deltas instead of regenerating everything. It's seriously impressive for both simple apps and wireframe->HTML conversions.

I'm sure you're not the only one who will feel this way. I worry for the future prospects of people starting their careers. The impacts will affect everyone in one way or another, not just those with limited experience. No way to know what the future holds.


I'd still prefer to have an intern.

However, it's because I'd empower the intern to use Claude or GPT to be even more productive.


i don't think the point of an intern is to have them do this kind of work. to me, it's just a side effect if they accomplish anything at all.

if we take this to its logical conclusion, without the kind of basic training that comes from internships, where will we be in 5 years?


The only hope is that intern level will also increase significantly with this, helping them to catch up with the fundamentals super quickly.
