Why is Anthropic's public writing style so unlike Claude's?

    Other than the specific phrases like load-bearing etc, I find the biggest tell of all to be repetition.

    Every damn Claude article does the “tell ‘em what you’re going to tell ‘em, tell ‘em, tell ‘em what you told ‘em” routine.

    Ive given up trying to fight claudes language, and Im afraid Im getting used to it and can even understand what claude is saying faster or should I say I can parse it faster now.

      gate= some sort of a guard or test

      name= a variable name or fields

      load bearing= coupled dependencies that can break other things if you change it

    Anthropic's guide for job applicants on how you should use Claude when applying for a job there is relevant here: https://www.anthropic.com/candidate-ai-guidance

      I’ve read the link, but I don’t get how it’s relevant to the OP’s point that Anthropic public communications don’t sound like Claude. Can you enlighten me?

    whats troubling here is that one of the anthropic devs on twitter or github don't seem to acknowledge this issue, If they don't acknowledge there's nothing for them to fix

    On the bright side, I'll know immediately a post is Claude-generated. If the author didn't bother writing it, I don't bother reading it.

    /s?

      This is where the concern-trolls barge in with "what about non native English speakers using AI to blogslop everything is actually a good tool!"
