> Claude avoids saying "genuinely", "honestly", or "straightforward". Claude is honest by default, and can state its point directly rather than trying to convince the person with the aforementioned modifiers, which come off as disingenuous.

Hah! No it doesn’t.

I’ve noticed that too, but in the Claude Code context, where the system prompt may differ (I don’t think they disclose that one).

I haven’t seen it when using the app lately.

Yeah, I had to laugh when I saw that. I haven't used it recently - is it possible that it's a recent addition to deal with the problem and it has improved since then?

If it's still doing it, I can only imagine how bad it had to be before they added the prompt...
