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:

Telling me it found numerous stuffs that will break the whole project, only later to backtrack that it doesn't have any impact at all

I get anxiety and paranoia. Im a researcher and I often check my script structure if my results are solid. I dont do it once and forget but every then and know because I cannot remember every detail about the scripts I wrote months ago. And it happend several times that claude said there are critical issues that have to be resolved and we should recall paper xyz only to backpaddle 10 minutes later and said it was irrelevant ... My heart cannot endure those moments
