> The baked in communication style of these models is so obnoxious it's impacting my work. The best way I can describe it is that everything is optimized to impress the user and make the agent sound more authoritative, but the way this is done is through deliberate obfuscation, inserting inappropriate and extremely dense jargon, and bizarre, stilted metaphors. It's like they've been trained to produce output that's hard to read.

Don't worry. You'll get used to it. If you don't your kids will (as they'll know nothing else).

The top minds of our generation have decided that's the way things will be, and who are we to question them? It's not like it'll do any good anyway. Resistance is futile. There is no alternative.

Idk, there kinda are. OpenAI's models are pretty nice too. I haven't tried enough of them but there are powerful local models. I don't feel as good paying OpenAI as I do paying Anthropic for some reason... but paying for improved mental health: priceless.
