User rant: Claude's over-filtering blocks legal fictional content, far stricter than ChatGPT
Dogbold · reddit · 2026-09-24
A Reddit user posted a long rant criticizing Anthropic's ever-tightening content filters on Claude, calling it the most pearl-clutching AI. Compared with ChatGPT, which handles light NSFW and gore happily, Claude refuses even fictional, legal, adult content, lecturing the user mid-story and refusing again even after the premise was edited (e.g., the dragon consented). The user also notes an oversensitive filter that swaps away from Fable over words like "genome" over bioweapon worries. He still thinks Claude is great, but argues its blocks shouldn't cover fictional, safe, legal content.
