Developer finds Dots less smooth than Muse in hands-on test
A developer who tried OpenAI Dots found the execution rough, latency high and no spark-joy moments, citing avatar changes and personality tweaks as smoother in Muse.
well i tried dot, and it was a bit disappointing unfortunately felt poorly executed there were 0 spark joy moments, a lot of little papercuts, animations/contrast/hierarchy feels off, latency too high... here's an example flow that is delightful in muse and very meh in dot i think openAI should focus more. Do less stuff but increase the amount of love poured into it. Grok Bot / Muse feel like products where lots of loved was poured in. here's a concrete example: changing the picture and giving it personality is delightful and fluid in muse, but clunky and "the old way" in dot.
