It's an interesting conversation - because at what point do you call it an abusive relationship, right? Maybe even ancillary to anthropomorphising an inanimate object - I've cancelled my Claude sub and I've shot question after question at it now (during the cancellation period), resulting in almost every reply with me asking it to "please speak normally". I will most definitely not be renewing my sub. I have no desire to engage with a non-human somehow managing to speak down to you, without answering the question.
EDIT: my honest opinion; Anthropic is building a person, whereas everybody else (it seems) is building a tool.
That really is the load bearing seam, and it's worth stating plainly.
I realized I was spending most of my tokens arguing with Opus and trying to get it to let go of stupid, lazy, obviously incorrect premonitions. I wound up canceling my 200, bought a pair of Sparks, and am running full fat DS4 Flash and so much happier. Done with being at the whim of these companies.
