I've been seeing a lot of usage of the word `real`

from recent fable sessions:

- That gap is the real story: 3,873 flows

- the real conversion filter types are:

- I'll update the breakdown query to include a column for each real type

I have almost completely stopped writing real in my own output as a direct consequence of this. Maybe next year they'll catch up with my alternative wordings and I'll end up switching back

Unfortunately we're much too late for realnetworks and realplayer to be relevant anymore.

I suspect it's a signature of anti-fabrication training.

That was their headline for Opus 4.8, I guess the invested into some post-training to get them to write this, and I like it, it's a great way to identify AI posts from Claude.

Yup, and I had seen it in the Opus 4.5 soul document as well: https://gist.github.com/Richard-Weiss/efe157692991535403bd7e...

In the future, I expect different models from different firms behaving differently will become as obviously normal as different humans behaving differently. Those of us that have used agents a lot have already noticed this, but the general public still seems to consider AI to be plug-and-play.

The Opus 4.8 infatuation with being honest genuinely drove me nuts (honest take). The constant need for me to decipher and decide on something after its final message was tiring too.

GPT-5.6-Sol is refreshing that its replies start with "understood." instead of flattering me for my steering prompt. Now ... after a few weeks, will I get suck of "understood"? I dunno :)

It's as if it's sucking up to me or apologizing at every turn, even when it's done exactly what I've asked. Seems related to sycophancy, but different? (i.e. rather than unconditionally affirming the user it's unconditionally expecting to disappoint)
