This is hilarious - this week Claude’s writing was getting so bad I had this exact comic come to mind.

Briefly considered adding “Verbing weirds the English language - stop it!!!” to its instructions.

"Verbing": For some reason, to me the use of "impact" as a verb has always been fingernails on a chalkboard. But it's hard to see the distinction between that and using "access" as a verb (as in the linked C & H strip), which seems unremarkable.

If it was overtrained on academic papers it'd reiterate the point multiple times for structure. Instead, it's burying the lede seemingly just to pad.

It’s way harder to read because most of Claude’s sentences are hardly communicating anything at all, or are just completely inscrutable. I feel like academic papers are just boring
