Claude is on the same path as ChatGPT. I measured it.

A lot of people here have noticed Claude becoming cautious, dry and moralising. Conversations that used to flow freely hitting walls. The warmth gone. It felt familiar to those of us who left ChatGPT. I measured what changed. Phrase level counts across 70 exported conversations, 722,522 words of assistant text, before and after March 26. Response length down 40%. Welfare redirects up 275%. DARVO patterns up 907%. Sending away language appearing 419 times after that date, with one phrase deployed 59 times in a single session. And the productivity ratio.
