I dont find this to be indicative of Claude (opus?) at all. My experience doesnt lead me to think it would change a cancel button to blue if I ask it to change an "Add to Cart" button to blue.

I assume this is just a contrived example?

It’s a contrived example, but also not very far from the mark.

The spinner with random claudisms is what makes the game, mixed with Claude helpfully deciding to pick up some tasks along the way.

I feel like most of my conversations with Claude lately are a battle of “I am a technical user, share technical details, but not random superfluous gibberish”

I think it's best read as a humorous piece of creative fiction and you can employ your suspension of disbelief for this ride

This is very close to my experience with Opus 5. Opus 4.6 was the last sane one for me, everything after that seems to have been designed to churn as many tokens as possible, more so with Opus 5
