Yes, exactly! Maybe not sarcastic but definitely using jargon and being opaque like we all know it, it’s just hinting. Feels like talking to someone who’s constantly trying to prove to me they are smart(er).

The thing is that if you do know what it's talking about then it gets you the information the quickest that way. If you're not an expert you can always ask it to explain. I don't want it to ELI5 by default.

That's not my experience, the model is adding tons of unnecessary details, that make it much harder to find the important information for an expert that already knows all those details.

I don't want ELI5, I just want the model to go straight to the point, like a colleague human expert would do.

I don't know, that's exactly what Opus 5.5 feels like to me.

Not my experience either. I find it both verbose and obscure, in its comments or explanations. It also oftentimes assumes that I know what I don't and that I ignore what I actually know.
