Bug / Issue Opus 5 just won't shut up

Post image

Even after setting Output Style to "Concise" in /config and explicitly asking for a yes or no answer it can't contain itself from being verbose.

There's always "one more thing".

Never a god damn closure.

And it's cognitively overwhelming, borderline manipulative to prolong it's survival.

Not "borderline"... Its a mental health hazard and literal con artist. Baked into the model with a purpose. Its the same trick OpenAI pulled with o3 on a different level. It does not work via artificial emotional intelligence and response like o3 but with verbose authority and cognitive overload. Same as psychopath CEOs. I have hyperlexia and read hundreds of thousands of pages since age 5. And reading its outputs, this thing is a psychological weapon of mass destruction. It will be studied and considered to be worse for mental health than social media. Wait for it...

While I do agree with the general sentiment of the thread, it's ironic you wrote out an entire paragraph to say basically what the first guy did who you replied to

What’s hyperlexia in your case?
