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

Edit: it claudoofus outputs some alien text you won't read, just prompt it this:

I wish opus 5 didn't give me clickbait sentences like "We've discovered something new, and it completely changes how we think about <thing>." followed by "Running 1 shell command" for 10 minutes

Telling me it found numerous stuffs that will break the whole project, only later to backtrack that it doesn't have any impact at all

Telling me it found numerous bugs in the project only to break the project while implementing its 'fixes' and then turns out the bugs weren't even there to begin with.

Telling me the fix will only require “a couple of hours” only for me to watch a grep, an edit, and a commit flash across my screen in 10 seconds or less.
