Ask "Why is the sky blue?": Codex answers in one line, Claude starts lecturing
georgemillo · x · 2026-08-26
The author pokes fun at model personalities with one question: "Why is the sky blue?" Codex replies in a single sentence — blue light scatters most in air — while Claude opens with "That's an excellent observation!" and launches into a lecture on electromagnetic radiation entering the atmosphere, complete with an "honest caveat." A spot-on meme about Claude's verbose, over-polite style.
