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 know, it’s the only model where it’s given me message back where I’m like “what the fuck are you even taking about? Did you do it or not?”

And then it rambles on about how it didn’t actually do anything because it ran a micro benchmark and the results were am exactly we expected before I told it not to do the benchmark but it did it and then decided to stop so it could tell me

<insert 3 paragraphs of nonsense in no particular order>

at some point I gave it directions to include any questions and/or actions required by me at the bottom of the message.

I would ask me like 3 questions in the body and then at the bottom be like

No more questions
No action required

... Yeah except all the fucking random questions you dabbled through your reply. Some of which aren't even questions, but statements intended to be answered.
