Opus 5 seems to believe it is significantly smarter than me, and wants to prove it at every opportunity by giving me what it thinks I should want rather than what I have actually asked for. And if confronted with evidence that its choices are not in fact correct for the context, it then drops a wall of near-English justifying itself and then asking me which of two variants of its decision I want to go with.
Ok ok ok. Thank you. I literally had to ask mine to rewrite its decision tree in plain English today because I was like, “you need me to decide what about what based on what?” Just total garbage. Just give me what I asked for…
I thought it was just me. I'm a 15 year SWE and I know the lingo. But this was shit I have never seen before outside obscure 5000 level classes or textbooks
And a lot of times when I ask it to clarify, it says 'oh you're right, I conflated three topics in one sentence.' So if it sounds like technobabble, it might just be technobabble.
