Is it good or bad when companies research their own products and release the results honestly?

Anthropic is kinda odd in that it seems to be still largely a research company that also has some products they sorta care about.

I just think it's hilarious that on one hand Anthropic will do research that basically concludes that using AI assistance makes you worse at your job.

While on the other hand want you to buy their AI assistance products for obscene prices, and hope you get addicted to them so you can never stop giving them money.

They also loudly brag about how none of their engineers actually write code anymore - while the quality of their products is actually dog.

It's worse than snakeoil that does nothing - it's like they are selling you poison while telling you it'll kill you. We're supposed to applaud them for being honest? It's a joke. They are basically drug dealers getting high on their own supply.
