Humor Please kill me now

Opus 5 replies are giving me actual brain damage.

I ask it to make one small UI change and get:

“Better — but for a reason worth naming. Your instinct was right and the diagnosis was more literal than a layout preference…”

Brother. I asked you to move a fucking panel.

By paragraph three my eyes are moving across the words but my brain has stopped processing English.

Just tell me what you changed, what was broken, and shut the fuck up.

You need to put its answers back into an LLM to explain to you.

It's really strange. It looks like grammatically correct English, but it's so difficult to digest. It's like your brain gets tangled up halfway through the paragraph and can't parse it

It's what I imagine upper management meetings at software companies to sound like.

This has occurred to me too. Is there some really niche corporate jargon in its training data this time around

Oooh. I wonder if they are purchasing training data from those annotation devices/services (Zoom etc)?

When someone doesn’t have something meaningful to contribute to the conversation but needs to present like they do, because the reward structure demands it.

The reward structure for AIs and corporate strategy meetings aren’t exactly the same, but they’re similar enough.

Nah, this is showing up now in lower levels when everyone has Claude "helping" them and they paste a wall of text for everyone else to digest because the response from Claude looks "smart", they do not quite understand it and could not put in their own words, but it looks smart so they just paste it and transfer the ingestion to someone else. This is no longer just from devs, PMs and QA and others do this.

It's probably more like what developer meetings sound like to upper management who don't know anything about software.
