How I use LLMs to learn complex topics

To me, it's just Claude. The other models have their quirks but nothing is quite like Claude.

But even with Claude, it's it's really the prose getting in the way you can install the caveman plugin or tell it to use that "standard technical English" thing.

Can you elaborate more on juxtaposing Claude's terrible prose with other LLMs?

Any more detail you can share? Do the others feel more "human"? Are there any that are particularly digestible/human-friendly?

I've been wondering for a while if this is just Claude because I mostly use Claude, so this is very telling.

I wish I had something more methodical I could show. It's all subjective, but GLM-5.2 feels more human to me. Even GPT-5.6 Sol tends to be easier on the eyes for me (though the stereotype of it overengineering and no common sense are still true).

I tried using a new agent service recently and could tell immediately that it's powered by Claude due to the way it writes.
