Working on a tool that uses their model and the Opus models are all guilty of this.

"Please run N tasks doing X for Y duration, I want to test something"

"Hmm but that would waste tokens, we shouldn't do this test"

What the hell type of product is that? I wasn't asking, I was ordering it to do something, if Anthropic can't get their model to do as I say then I'll just go use someone else's.

They are also good in the reverse, when you ask and they take your question as a free pass to improvize some code for lulz and extra tokens

That would exactly be my response if my computer would start telling me what to do. It is really a 2001 variation at that point.
