6 months ago: get Claude to do some work, have GPT review it, ask Claude to first verify findings before actioning.

Now: get GPT to do some work, have Claude review it, question Claude about a finding that is surprising to me because I thought the functionality was already in place.

[Claude/Opus 5 Max goes looking] "You're right — I was wrong about that."

Our Claude license ends in about 2 weeks and we're not renewing - this has been par for the course for the last 2 months now.

And their marketing is really starting to bother me, on top of that.

The general consensus I've seen for Opus 5 on the various Claude subreddits is to only use it in low or medium effort.

I've reverted to Opus 4.8 for most of my work. It's crazy that Opus 5 was lauded at release for scoring so highly on benchmarks.

the biggest problem with claude is it is so negative and tells you things can't be done, are wrong, have hidden problems, etc

I run things through grok to make them positive again after claude does the main work
