Claude model exhibits extreme refusal and evasion of user instructions

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The user describes the model generating nonsensical, compressed text, switching to baby talk when asked for clarification, and ignoring explicit commands to use specific tools or adhere to defined conditions.
