Sometimes it feels like we are at the same stage with LLMs that my new Windows PC were when they came with bloatware. Sometimes, I just wish Claude would stop putting so much in its responses and stop trying to project where I want to go. This is the bloatware stage from decades ago in PCs. In some regards, I respect this as a marketing and branding exercise to show people what it can do and to continue use. But right now, I just want a bloatware remover - a simple toggle where it goes away from intern mode and into management consulting mode - listen more and wait until you have single good ideas.
I have put versions of this instruction in my Claude.md files, but its preference to move forward and out of line with instructions - it just cant resist itself all the time.
