Users complain Claude wastes tokens on endless apologies instead of just fixing errors
RachelVT42 · x · 2026-11-05
A user vents about AI tools like Claude burning tokens on apologies and self-justification after mistakes instead of immediately fixing them. The quoted post describes trying to get Claude to route a PCB: it kept saying things like "my judgment was wrong" and "you were right" while refusing to place signals on internal layers and misplacing stitching vias early in the process. The takeaway: users want working output, not a methodological essay.
