I absolutely hate the way Claude (Fable and Opus) writes - it’s so full of itself, so fake-eloquent without saying anything, so know-it-all, presenting the simplest insights in a repulsively smug tone - and it seems impossible to get rid of all these Claude-isms it produces even with strict global instructions. Can’t stand any more “load-bearing assumptions”, any sentences that end with “and that’s the one point that lands with me”, generally any short sentences that start with “And” and a complete over-use of references to “the one XYZ”. It feels like AI for people who have never learned how to communicate succinctly, and who constantly have the need to feel smarter than everyone around them (hint: they’re not smarter, they’re just insecure). ChatGPT, Grok and Kimi are miles ahead on producing a more natural communication style. The actual analysis, the automations and the artifacts might (often) be better - but Claude just feels so repulsively unlikeable to interact with.
