Claude's Outputs Criticized for Being Overly Formulaic

ctjlewis · x · 2026-07-11

Citing another comment, the author points out that the **Anthropic family** now suffers from an excess of "Claude-isms." Consequently, the outputs from 4.8 and Fable 5 have become increasingly difficult to read, sometimes bordering on incomprehensible.
