A user claimed Opus 5.5 was suddenly 'nerfed' in the last few hours — dumber outputs, verbose style back, 'confirmed on multiple accounts.' Aiden (danielmac8) pushed back, arguing people need to internalize 'hedonic adaptation': the model likely didn't change, but the novelty wore off and perception shifted. A recurring 'silent model degradation' debate sample — user perception vs. hedonic adaptation — with no resolution, but a useful reminder when judging new models.
