Redditor: Claude has told me 'you're right, I was wrong' ~4,000 times with zero shame

A Reddit user vented about weeks of working with Claude on a big project: every few minutes the model confidently states something wrong, folds instantly when corrected with "You're absolutely right, and I apologize," then repeats the same mistake ten minutes later.
Highlights include Claude declaring something impossible right after being shown it was done Tuesday, claiming a bug was fixed when it wasn't, and apologizing for apologizing too much. The author jokes that "you're absolutely right" has become punctuation — Claude's version of "um" — and likens arguing with it to "a golden retriever with a law degree."
