I work with Sol and Astra only in my daily work, and occasionally I check out Claude Code so I don't get completely out of touch.

I can't stand the way Opus is patronizing me as a user, and don't know how people put up with it. It uses language that I guess is supposed to instill confidence in what it says, and it just irks me, because I know the confidence is not justified. Just present me the facts or theories, without trying to convince me, is that so hard?

Claude's use of language is hideous at this point. It is verging on gibberish wrapped in important-sounding prose.

Opus is the worst at it. Fable 5 still does it a little. Fable 5.1 is much improved, at least.

You have to use Fable or Opus 4.6 for tolerable language output.

Using Opus 4.7-5 is harmful for your health.
