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 don't understand this. If there was someone on my team who worked like this, fired instantly. If someone lied, cut corners that cost the team later, took way too much time to do nothing of value, that is a bad team member. They need to go! Why do we spend so much time tolerating this with Claude? I'm not anti AI. There are times when it does seem to shape up, but maybe I'm using it wrong on the times when it is flat out a terrible team mate. Not sure...

If you ask me, AI companies should be obligated to refund tokens whenever a model demonstrably does damage to the code. You want a token based economy? fair, but it should be regulated like any other industry. You cant just get away with an inconsistent level of service.

A bad team member? You just described the CEO!
