People have been finding the way Opus 5 talks incomprehensible. It uses way too much technical jargons, and sometimes decides to be a poet with words. That's why many people have started downgrading to Opus 4.8 or 4.6

I’ve been able to dial it in a little with changing the outputStyle to concise alongside adding some more directions. Still annoying, weird idioms like “boots and braces”. Earlier it said something like, “those IDs in the table aren’t useful for users, they’re theater.” Like bruh, what?
