I dont find this to be indicative of Claude (opus?) at all. My experience doesnt lead me to think it would change a cancel button to blue if I ask it to change an "Add to Cart" button to blue. I assume this is just a contrived example?

I think it's best read as a humorous piece of creative fiction and you can employ your suspension of disbelief for this ride

  >I think it's best read as a humorous piece of creative fiction and you can employ your suspension of disbelief for this ride But what is the point of the fiction, if not that its relatable? Is it supposed to mirror some fictional reality that the author is relieved we dont live in? Or is it supposed to parody real life? I think its supposed to parody reality, but I don’t see the resemblance.

    why believe dragons are real? or wizards with magic? or cyberpunk dystopian futures?

    From my history with llms, this exaggerated example does hit home a bit too close for comfort.

It’s a contrived example, but also not very far from the mark. The spinner with random claudisms is what makes the game, mixed with Claude helpfully deciding to pick up some tasks along the way. I feel like most of my conversations with Claude lately are a battle of “I am a technical user, share technical details, but not random superfluous gibberish”

This is very close to my experience with Opus 5. Opus 4.6 was the last sane one for me, everything after that seems to have been designed to churn as many tokens as possible, more so with Opus 5

I thought it was more about its writing style and handling cases where it makes a mistake. The button and the simple prompts were just to make it accessible for everyone.
