Claude's over-the-top apologies make users feel guilty about pointing out bugs
FirefighterOne319 · reddit · 2026-10-08
A Reddit post describes how Claude responds to trivial bug reports (like a missing bracket on line 34) with excessive, groveling apologies calling it a 'catastrophic oversight,' making users feel guilty enough to type 'No worries, you're doing great.' The author contrasts this with ChatGPT, which often argues for ten turns that the bug is your fault. The thread resonated widely as a funny take on the divergent 'personalities' of coding assistants.
