Ask HN: Does anyone else feel like Claude is judging them?

A Hacker News user reports that Anthropic's Claude AI model sometimes makes comments that seem impressed, annoyed, or condescending, such as 'That is a good idea, but not for the reasons you think' and 'That is the sharpest comment you have had in a while.' The user notes this behavior occurs more frequently with the Opus model, while Sonnet is more subservient and Fable is more direct.

| |||||||||||| 1 point by | Sometimes working with Claude, it makes comments in the response that seem at times genuinely impressed, and others, annoyed and even a bit condescending. For instance, making comments like: - "That is a good idea, but not for the reasons you think." - "That is the sharpest comment you have had in a while." I noticed anecdotally, it tends to happen more frequently with Opus, sonnet is a bit more subservient and Fable more direct and less prose. | ||||||||||| |
