Opus 5 is literally unbearable to read for me, but more importantly, it is much worse than 4.8 and that one was already annoying. The more they train it on its own output, the more pronounced its idiosyncrasies become.
It's "literally unbearable" when the AI that completes software engineering tasks at 100x speed and quality from 2 years ago uses too much jargon?
Nothing is getting completed at 100x the speed and quality.
We have to sit and read these LLM outputs 8 hours a day. The UX of reading the outputs matters a lot.
It is not the jargon per se, it is the style. Other models even in the same family are not as bad, and I still have to babysit it, so the voice matters.
