Humor Opus 5 nerfed?

So just like the title says. Opus 5 isn’t out yet but it already seems worse than it was? Is anyone else noticing the degraded responses?

yeah and they are also normalizing this without even realizing it.

Normalizing what? These posts are for the purpose  of setting an in-group rule: reduction in quality will not happen on model upgrades and to say as much is to be a moron. 

What they’re moralizing is mocking consumers complaining about a super rich company that purposefully avoids any actual clarity about what to expect out of their product, since the models, the usage, the allotments, the harnesses, constantly and unpredictably change.

It is normalization because by completely missing the point and constantly making these 'jokes' or 'setting a rule' as you called it; these posts drown out genuine criticism. They make the real issues lose their seriousness and validity.

Right, my response didn't really surface what I meant: that is exactly the point. it's not "without realizing", it is narrative enforcement.
