User details frustrating four-hour session with Anthropic's Opus model

A user shared their experience with Anthropic's Opus model, detailing issues encountered during a four-hour session. The problems stemmed from the model guessing user interface elements instead of verifying, drip-feeding information, making confident but incorrect diagnoses, and working solely within the chat interface rather than a persistent repository. The user suggested improvements such as requesting a complete runbook before starting, demanding citations for actions, and rejecting partial deliverables to enhance efficiency. AI
