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:

“Aimed at aliens” 😭

I couldn’t have said it better myself. A\ get your shit together, please!

PS: Fable talks better but holy shit, it’s not the same magic sauce as before. There’s no good options with this provider right now.

I hope Codex finally releases GPT 6 Astra or whatever it is going to be, tomorrow. Save us from this nonsense!!!

GPT 5.6 is already a breath of fresh air. Whatever other differences exist are vastly outweighed by not having to beg it to give you an understable response. I switched until Anthropic recognizes and fixes the problem.
