Claude's copywriting quality tanked in weeks, long-time user reports; falling back to Opus 4.8 helps only partly
not-the-shark · reddit · 2026-09-21
A Reddit user who has relied on Claude for website copy for six months reports a sharp quality drop in recent days: output now reads as obvious AI writing, crams in industry buzzwords instead of addressing the actual topics, and recycles entire paragraphs from earlier work out of context. Switching from Opus 5 to Opus 4.8 and requesting a full rewrite helped considerably, but quality still falls short of what he saw 60-90 days ago. He's asking the community for fixes beyond the 'did Anthropic nerf Claude' debate.
