I don't think that's because of its "intelligence". It speaks obtuse techbro-ese: stringing together words that sound smart to obscure the simplicity of the thing it's describing. In many ways it's the opposite of intelligence.
Opus 5 and Fable 5 in particular suffer from this issue at worse level than most models in the same class.

- sebastiennight 2mo agoThis is a "load-bearing" issue recently. I think the idea is packing more information into fewer words, but the result is a word salad that is somehow simultaneously very dense in adjectives and adverbs, and still way too verbose.
