Default Are these types of statement rubbish?

Thinking about the GFS in particular, as it goes out for a longer period, has anyone measured its accuracy recently.

It just seems to me that it's been a lot less volatile in its predictions, when compared to previous years, with little in the way of eye candy at 300+ for example.

So is this a reflection of improvements in the modelling, or a reflection of the synoptic situation?
