You know you're old when the signs used to say an asteroid strike killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago and now they say 66.

If you use LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok regularly, how would you rate their overall performance on tasks you routinely use them for, as compared to ~1 year ago?
