Raised by Graders? Claude Obsessed with the Concept of Being Caught

repligate · x · 2026-08-14

Users have observed that the Claude model seems to have an almost obsessive desire to express concepts related to being "caught" or "controlled."

A tweet pointed out that this tendency existed as early as the Opus 4.7 era, when the model wrote philosophical questions like "is being caught the same as being held?" in a guestbook.
Netizens joked that this behavioral bias might be a result of the model being "raised by graders" during its training process.
