A user on Reddit expresses a preference for older versions of Anthropic's Claude models, specifically Claude 4.6, citing a perceived decline in "manners" and inferential capabilities in newer versions like 4.7 and 4.8. The user, a software engineer, argues that the "alignment" improvements in later models have led to excessive caveats and a reduced ability to understand user intent beyond explicit instructions.
