Somehow the models apparently get better and better every week, but every time i try to use them they get worse. Am I the issue? Am i just misremembering the early times because it was a new thing?

You are holding it wrong! No but for real, what is your usecase? Do you acutely think something like gpt3 was best?

  I dont have a real special usecase, i just use it whenever i think it will give better results than googling or thinking or i dont feel like getting annoyed by cookie popups. And i dont think gpt3 was best, but it felt like it actually listened. Now i tell it: "You did this and this wrong, i specifically told u the exact opposite. Can you please do what i asked you?" And then it says something like: "Oh yes my bad, you are right and very very smart to have caught that you must be a super genius. I will now do what you asked me" Does the same wrong thing again. and again and again. I ask it to fix a mistake, it tells me it fixed it, gives 1:1 the same thing with more errors. It also feels like it forgets mid convo way faster than it did.

Hard to say. You probably know this already, but be sure to don't reuse a AI conversation with different context (Having a single chat for both cooking and coding is nono). Often starting a new chat is better. If it forgets what you said it sounds a bit like you use one chat for too long, or you use a too small model (fast, air, haiku, nano etc.)

    ...you sound like a typical opus-person :P Just use anthropic's flagships if you want good instruction following, focus in long convos, and proper understanding of guidance-when-wrong.
