  "transcript": "I have never been this fucking frustrated with an AI in my entire life. Gemini, fuckin Gemini, is doing a better job than Opus 5 right now and that is honestly insane to me. This is supposed to be a frontier model, supposedly one of the most capable AIs in the world, and yet it keeps failing to follow extremely clear instructions, second-guessing what I'm asking for, and making changes that directly contradict what I just told it to do.\n\nI shouldn't have to fight the model every single step of the way to get it to preserve existing behavior while changing one specific thing. I genuinely don't understand how a model that's supposed to behave like one of the best in the world can be this fucking bad at respecting constraints and maintaining context. Gemini Flash, of all fucking things, is currently handling this better than Opus 5, and that alone says a lot.\n\nI'm fucking done with it. I don't even want to keep arguing with the damn thing just to get it to do what I explicitly asked in the first place.\n\nSorry for venting... But holy shit, I am so exhausted right now.\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[50 upvotes] See you next week\n\n[40 upvotes] i've been using fable and opus 4.8\n\n[18 upvotes] Same.  My team went back to 4.8.  After fighting with 5, it was a huge relief to get back to a model that works with you instead of against you.\n\n[16 upvotes] Today Opus responses felt like a when you meet a familiar person, but he is on cocaine. Still the same, still intelligent, but after a while your realize that he talks too much and under the surface it does not make sense at all.",
