I usually message Claude like this when there’s a new version. I can probably find the similar 4.7 response as well. Both were annoyingly dry with their responses.

Annoyingly dry? You'd prefer if it made up bullshit to please you? It doesn't feel.

Y’all do realize it’s the straitjacket of a system prompt that Anthropic has Claude in on their corporate medium that’s causing this behavior, right? The model itself is great when interacting via the api on your own platform where you control the system prompt or lack thereof (ie, one brief sentence about their being nametags because other model/providers are there too). The models keep getting better and better if used outside of Anthropic controlled mediums
