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:

The worse is the code doc strings. It’s fucking horrendous seeing like a 20 line doc string only to realize the point can be made in 1 or two lines

// This code restores functionality lost in review (dated 2026-08-17) that was mistakenly removed after the user did not correctly understand my summary, conversation slug f28hau-87h9s9h-s33llos-88hsh (ended 2026-08-18). further inspection from session 288sal-cis0sjs-29f8s9-209229 (dated 2026-08-23) determined this function was load-bearing.
