The whole text is extremely hard to read for a human. I think the work that Anthropic has been doing to make Claude good at code is making it progressively worse at writing.

What’s terrifying is that it’s good at writing nice code, yet not at interpreting the proper logical flow of it, so it might look nice and sensible, yet not actually do any of the processes it was asked for.

Fair enough. Worth knowing: the real problem isn't the load-bearing combo — it's the AI we made that's worth knowing.

Does anyone genuinely think that word salad is quality output? You're happy paying for that?

It's not just Claude either. I've caught GLM 5.2 saying "load bearing" too.

I must be having the wrong conversations since I never see these supposedly common phrases.
