Claude Opus 5.5 flags fiction writing as cyber risk, frustrating users
T-VIRUS999 · reddit · 2026-10-15
A Reddit user writing Mass Effect roleplay fiction says any computer-related plot beat triggers Claude Opus 5.5's safeguards, pausing chats with a "[cyber]" label. A screenshot shows Anthropic acknowledging the stricter Opus 5.5 safeguards can flag non-cybersecurity work and offering verification or a downgrade to Opus 4.8. The user adds that even asking why it was flagged triggers a second "reasoning extraction" block.
