The fact that it might affect quality is something that is on my mind. In fact, I have mainly been using Astra after being primarily on Claude for several years exactly because of this annoyance. Ultimately, the model (at least for coding purposes) should just... not have this writing style.
I do think an infrastructure where another Claude retranslates the output would be better. Oftentimes I forget to put it in the actual prompt and when I receive back 8 paragraphs of Claudeish I ask for it then.
I would have to disagree that it gets as grating as Claudeish though. Its just direct and professional instead of ring-around-the-rosy clickbait.
The Claudeish drove me back to OpenAI and Codex as well. I find the Claudeish can be improved but it’s impossible to fully mitigate. Opus is unusable for anything I’m going to read.
“I would have to disagree that it gets as grating as Claudeish though.”
It’s hard to imagine anything more grating than Claudeish. To quote Rainer Wolfcastle, "My eyes! The goggles do nothing!"
