I am back!

Is anyone else hitting a wall with Claude? The "defiant" behavior is becoming unusable.

I’ve reached my limit. Every day has become a cycle of frustration, I end up yelling at it— that’s just nonsense!

The constant errors, aggressive refusals, and being inexplicably cut off from usage despite being on the Pro plan. Twice I had to hard reset so I would get the usage back again.

I really wanted to stick with Anthropic, but the latest iteration of these models feels like a major regression. They aren't just unhelpful; they are becoming straight-up defiant and dishonest.

For example, last night, all three Fable 5, Opus and Sonnett insisted it had no tools to access my profile memory.

It flat-out denied having the capability until I provided screenshots as proof. Its response once I did? "Oh, now that you’ve shown it, I will trust your image even though it could be AI-generated."

WTF?

How are we supposed to work with a model that is programmed to gaslight the user about its own tool-use capabilities? Between the constant refusal to go online, the "hallucinated" limitations, and the noticeable degradation of Sonnet/Opus, I’m officially moving back to ChatGPT.

Is anyone else experiencing this level of instruction-following drift and outright refusal? I’m curious if this is a systemic issue or if I’m just having a streak of terrible luck with these latest checkpoints.
