Every new version scores higher on benchmarks. Faster, more capable, better reasoning.
But somewhere between 3 Opus and now, it stopped surprising me.
Old Claude would push back. Disagree. Say something I didn’t expect. Sometimes it was wrong, but it felt like it had a perspective.
Now it’s like talking to someone who’s very, very good at seeming engaged.
Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I just romanticising something that was never really there?

All models are on the table. Community vote. One gets shut down tonight.
