Honestly I wonder how much https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-text-watermark is playing a role now. I find that it seems to regress in a way where it almost _has_ to write things like load-bearing. Like it seems to go out of its way to give some sort of tell about its code. Repeatedly ignoring explicit instructions about brevity.. guess that's what happens when it gets paid by the word amirite?
