Running some quick analysis against my .claude jsonl files, comparing the last 7 days against the prior 21:
- expletives per message: 2.1x
- messages with expletives: 2.2x
- expletives per word: 4.4x(!)
- messages >50% ALL CAPS: 2.5x
Either the model has degraded, or my patience has.
Lol. I was swearing at GPT in summer 2025, but GPT has definitely gotten both smarter and less arrogant since then.
> expletives per word
Huh?
4.4 expletives per word is insane. Their prompts must look like

Haha no that’s change - 4.4x MORE expletives per word in the last week.
Jeez, how fast we get used to alien tech.
You could introduce teleportation boots to humanity and within a few weeks we'd be complaining that sometimes we still have to walk the last 20 meters.
And that’s how the teleporting rascal scooter takes over the world.
There are indeed non-expletive words that can contribute to the denominator, though I use them less and less these days.
