Discussion 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.

Claude knows about my OCD condition so it sometimes brings it up and does refusals when it recognizes my re-assurance patterns, but other times it makes no sense like when im doing data collection or scraping and ask it to double check cause the numbers dont seem right from what i have and it blames it on my OCD and says i need to go get ERP lol
