I switched back to ChatGPT out of necessity, because Claude stopped working after two queries, where it gave overly elaborate answers (about a simple web app config).

But Claude isn't alone. It seems a recent (subjective) trend that Claude and ChatGPT give very lengthy answers, with a lot of repetition from the original query on the free plans.

I got used to add "answer briefly", to keep the noise in check.

That’s why there’re now work hours restrictions
