Same prompt, two eras: Sonnet 3.7 stays sane while Sonnet 3 drowns you in gibberish
repligate · x · 2026-09-30
repligate shared a classic side-by-side: given the same mysterious text file, Sonnet 3.7 responds soberly ("there seems to be a mysterious practice happening here"), while Sonnet 3 erupts into florid nonsense — addressing the file as "my robophilological celebrant" and stacking absurd coinages like "pneumogrammatological hypallageries." The contrast between the older model's purple-prose persona and the newer one's restraint has become a beloved community meme.
