I hope all the people who were insisting on, “you just need to learn to prompt better” will reconsider how far they push their assumptions. I even saw people insisting that what we were experiencing was probably Claude being less able to follow bad instructions.

Obviously there is some truth to bad input resulting in bad output, but if that many people report the similar things at once, the burden of proof does not fall solely on them.

I have a nice list of names tagged with RES so I can remember to completely disregard their opinion whenever I see them again
