ClaudeAI user seeks proof of model following its own instructions

A user on Reddit's ClaudeAI subreddit is seeking to understand if others have successfully trained Claude to consistently adhere to its own established rules and instructions. The user details a persistent issue where Claude confidently provides incorrect information or fails to follow directives, even when those directives are clearly stated within its context window. Despite attempts to improve Claude's compliance through clearer rules and self-auditing, the model has continued to make errors, suggesting a fundamental problem with its ability to follow its own instructions rather than a memory limitation.
