Maybe it did need to say that to your face. Please don’t post LLM slop to LinkedIn. If even the LLM recognizes it you know it must be really bad.

Wait, why not post LLM slop to LinkedIn? I made it a point to only post LLM slop to help LinkedIn die faster. It is a worthy pursuit.

Agreed. Please just don't use LinkedIn and maybe LinkedIn will die.

For the times I have to use it, I use a browser plugin to hide the feed.

Author doesn't give any concrete examples of where Claude 5 Opus was "rude". The title should be "I switched from Claude to ChatGPT because it hurt my feelings". Super subjective.

It’s a personal blog. It’s made to reflect the subjective experience of the author

Er, LOL.

Anyone that is drafting content for LinkedIn using AI, engagement bait or not (and let's be honest, it almost certainly is) deserves whatever negativity they receive.

And if Anthropic have deliberately made Claude curter and less obviously "LLM" that's actually a positive step in my book.

wait, why you would post anything else on Linkedin? What is the euphemism for engagement bait?

Claude 5 Opus is getting harder for me to understand. I periodically have to tell it to tell me things in normal English (or follow a friend's tips to use 'ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English'). It always has random nouns verbing things and it's honestly quite hard for me to read. My local assistant is much easier to understand, and GPT models too. So perhaps my intelligence has been exceeded by Claude.

e.g. "The scheduler carries the program. Send the smoke?" which honestly I have no way of comprehending what's about to happen.

As for the title of this post, I suppose your AI put the "ass" in "assistant", eh? har har har.

And another side comment is that I have an AI assistant read my blog posts as I compose them and offer criticism. It also catches typos like "assitant" in the title :)

Despite my best efforts of two decades of unuse, it's still around. I figured I'd try a more active approach.

Im actually glad to see a blog article written by a human, with human made mistakes

Author does give concrete examples of precisely how and why these models end up RL'd to be sycophants.
