Opus 4.5 answers most of my non-question comments with ‘you’re right.’ as the first thing in the output. At least I’m not absolutely right, I’ll take this as an improvement.
Hah, maybe 5th gen Claude will change to "you may be right".
The positive thing is that it seems to be more performative than anything. Claude models will say "you're [absolutely] right" and then immediately do something that contradicts it (because you weren't right).
Gemini 3 Pro seems to have struck a decent balance between stubbornness and you're-right-ness, though I still need to test it more.
