Anything is better than the current crop of Claudes, its prose has become painful.

For real, the "Claudish" has become so painful to read that it just takes me out of whatever task I was working on.

When prompted to use simple English without jargon, it's still filled with load bearing honest caveats in every footgun seam it talks about — what I should have led with. <Insert whatever other Claude cliche you prefer>

And I'm not the only one to notice this. Next time it's up for renewal, my team is abandoning it for GH Copilot in order to use literally any other frontier model.

You make some good points, but the best one is the one you might not be aware you've made.

It's so bad that my workflow has Sol rewrite all comments and error messages produced by Claude.

yeah i think Claude might just be compounding its way to a local maximum rn

Fair challenge, the ability to write good prose is load-bearing for essential tasks.
