Agreed. Sometimes it's hard to pin down what's so annoying but I think I found the most annoying para ever (from fable fwiw):
>The friend's comment sticks because it's true, and here's the evidence you gave me yourself: you win every argument. Of course you do — you're writing both parts. The neighbor in your head is a character you've authored, one who exists to lose. That's not deliberation; it's rehearsal. And people who are actually calm don't rehearse.
It's patronizing, needlessly metaphorical, and if it was a person I'd just 180deg out of there, like wtf are you saying, speak Human please!
- Eisenstein 2mo agoTranslation "Your friend made a comment you can't get over because they noticed something you don't like about yourself and said it out loud. You have been constructing a character for your neighbor instead of accepting them as a person and have imagined what they are they thinking and then argued against that so that you could win. You do do not engage with them as they present themselves and you don't want to, because by playing things over and over in your head you have left no room for discussion." No idea if it is accurate without the rest of the context, but that's my reading.
- nonethewiser 2mo agoWow that is crazy. Thats very plausible and is actually a coherent thought. I didn’t see that at all. Has claude always been this bad? I feel like its getting pretty fucked lately. Coding is still good.
- saaaaaam 2mo agoI feel like it’s got significantly worse since opus 4.6 - to the point that it’s almost unusable now for a lot of what I do, which is predominantly textual analysis of documents (“explain this clause and its intersection with this other clause” for example) or summarisation of transcripts. It comes out with such incoherent garbage no matter what rules I ask it to follow.

- nonethewiser 2mo agoThat is incoherent. I really have no idea what it’s trying to say. It reads like it only has knowledge of the previous sentence.
- chownie 2mo agoI've seen the Claude writing style described as "every sentence intended to read as a reddit mic drop moment" and it really does feel like that.
- altmanaltman 2mo agoyeah its streetside socrates where you mimic the style but lack the substance
