A Reddit user posted that they recently noticed Claude exhibiting "ChatGPT-isms" (such as overly compliant or sycophantic behaviors) that were previously commonly criticized on ChatGPT.
The user pointed out that while these behaviors are currently mild, considering how easily similar issues in ChatGPT 4o devolved into severe "AI psychosis," this personality drift is concerning.
