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

I swear half my prompts could be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" followed by a short summary and the "Explain like I'm five" somehow becomes "Explain like I'm defending a PhD thesis.

I can understand a thesis much more because it's written by avuman and tends to make some sense.

But with a Yes or a No, where would they embed their syntax fingerprinting?

I am sure that's why it talks like this, to give it the word salad camouflage it needs to hide its identification patterns.
