I believe AI technical prose peaked with Opus 4.6. I still use it (mostly for that purpose) and I think it's legitimately great. I'm hoping they are able to reverse the trends that benchmaxxing and RLAIF have wrought on Claude's non-code output with the future models.
Now that the public anger is growing i really hope Anthropics next models seriously address this. Or for that matter, i hope everyone (OpenAI/etc) starts focusing on this too.
Intelligence is important but it feels as if the LLM is only capable of conveying information while drenching it in vomit.
