Users Report Claude's Writing Has Become Weird and Hard to Read

Cited discussions highlight that models released after Opus 4.6 exhibit unnatural phrasing, making them harder to read quickly in both coding and conversational contexts. The community speculates this could be an unintended artifact of reinforcement learning (RL) training.
