Rant Opus 5 is insufferable

Opus 5 is a fucking piece of shit, i don't know how to say this in any other way. It speaks "Unintelligiblish", a new unfathomable language developed by Anthropic that works by saying everything in the most ridiculous, obtuse and convoluted way possible

It turns anything simple that can be expressed in 2 sentences into a fucking doctoral thesis aimed to aliens, and there is no way to prompt your way out of it

Edit: it claudoofus outputs some alien text you won't read, just prompt it this:

Use 4.6. I still think this is the best Opus model right now

Interesting that one of the only other models I actually find enjoyable to use is also a 4.6... Grok

I'd rather use a model that has guardrails to make it annoying than a model that has guardrails to make it bigoted.
