Opus mocked for claiming everything's been done before, then flip-flopping after a web search

TacoJacc vents about Claude Opus's signature move: it insists your idea is impossible or already done and downplays your achievement — but when pushed ("if it's done, why haven't I seen it everywhere?"), a quick search later it flip-flops: "ah, sorry, not done lol." teortaxesTex reshared it with a dry "skill issue."
The screenshot shows the pattern live: after the user asks "pretty clever, no?", Opus searches the web and concedes the mechanic is genuinely novel, even crediting the user's key move of treating a corner gap as a place to go rather than a map flaw.
