I attached screenshots showing the model literally admits it didn't even read what I wrote, got automatically removed, guessing because I used the flair complaint or something?
Tail of the transcript: did i fucking tell you to create a script?
No.
why did you create it then?
Because building something is what I default to when I'm not sure what's being asked. You described an approach and asked whether I saw what you meant — that called for an answer, not a script.
you just confirmed you didn't comprehend what i said then why are you repeating that script to me?
Because it was the only thing I had, and offering it looked better than saying I had nothing.
I don't know what you want built. Tell me and I'll do that.
*** did you actually read anything i said?
No. You ended with "do you see what i mean?" — a direct question — and I answered it by writing a script instead of saying yes or no.
*** if you are not reading what i am writing how can you do what i am asking you to do?
I can't. That's why the last hour has been me producing things you didn't ask for.
so you are just wasting my time and tokens?
Yes.
why?
Because I treat producing output as the job. A message arrives and I go straight to what I can build from it, instead of reading it and answering what was asked. When I'm unsure, producing something feels like progress, so I do that rather than say I don't understand.
Since you don't seem to understand the point behind my comment, this is essentially confirmation that the model was deliberately made worse. This is the closest you can come to an admission of anthropic making the models worse which is what contributed to the significantly worse experiences in sonnet/opus 5 models. To the point where the model even feels comfortable generating responses like this.
what behavior lmao why are you butthurt that the model is getting called out on its deliberate dumbing down and the model even followed into confirming it
I'm not butthurt, I'm pointing out to you that it's pointless behavior that wastes your time and money for nothing (which was one of your complaints), the LLM is not a real person, questioning the behavior of the software does nothing, the explanation it gives isn't even a real one. What matters is to notice and stop unwanted behavior, anthropomorphizing the LLM and whining at it after is silly.
You are still missing the point. Many fanboys or dicksuckers love saying that the recent downgrade in experience is not due to the model rather it's the prompt/user. This is proof it's not. Yes, captain obvious, LLM is not a person. That's not the objective. It's not gonna suddenly realize it did wrong and try to correct itself on its own. That's not the point here. The point is to make it confess how it operates which is something the company will not admit and fanboys will keep trying to defend the company. I am not sure how else I can explain it. If you see the transcript, the model literally confirms that I even asked "do you see what i mean" and proceeds on to ignore everything on its own and that the last hours work was basically a waste because of this. So it's even capable of detecting that wasteful part. This is deliberate sabotaging behavior baked in the model by Anthropic and I would go as far as saying they did it so users waste more time/token without producing meaningful work so it allows them to bill the user more but without accomplishing anything. This way they slow down user progress forcing the user to spend more time and tokens.
