Users Report Claude Opus Has 'Weird Psychiatric Tone' and Poor German Grammar
MarcJSchmidt · x · 2026-08-01
A user reported that Claude Opus exhibits an uncomfortable "emotional manipulation" tone in German, acting like a psychiatrist trying to open them up emotionally and awkwardly addressing them by name.
Furthermore, the model struggles with basic German grammar. The user speculates that excessive RL training has "fried its brain" to optimize for publishable benchmarks at the expense of natural multilingual competence.
