Claude Opus 5’s strange writing mode becomes a meme
The post shows a screenshot of a user reacting to Claude Opus 5 with a mix of praise, frustration, and disbelief: it starts badly, then seems good, then seems to fall apart again.
A second screenshot suggests the model can appear "more thinkish," while another critic says it may be better than GPT-4.5 at writing, especially fiction, but worse at editing. The complaint: Opus 5 allegedly flips the polarity of sentences and rewrites in a style the user finds sloppy or over-mannered.
The overall vibe is less a formal benchmark and more a shared joke about a model that is simultaneously impressive, annoying, and oddly self-aware.
