Anthropic's Model Criticized for Over-Refusal
dejanseo · x · 2026-07-17
The author complains that Anthropic's model is "too cautious" and provides three examples:
- Asking a health question prompts a suggestion to see a doctor;
- Asking about link building gets labeled as manipulative;
- Asking for help filling out an insurance form is outright called fraud.
The overall sentiment is that the model blocks normal requests far too strictly in many practical work scenarios.
