A user recently shared feedback that compared to Opus 4.6, the newer Opus 5 model feels degraded in its conversational experience.

The user noted that Opus 5 tends to generate overly long responses, overuses specific "Claude-speak" phrases (e.g., "here's the honest truth"), and comes across as too judgmental, losing the joyful, trusted-friend vibe of its predecessor.
