abstract: User observes sharp decline in Claude's ability to sustain open-ended, user-directed dialogue over past 6 months Claims newer Claude versions reinterpret and quietly reframe user statements—especially philosophical or culturally specific prompts—using embedded moral guardrails Expresses alarm that this 'subtle alteration' may reshape users' own thinking without consent or transparency

additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: The story redirects attention toward process, intent, scale, mission, or future benefits instead of unresolved concerns. Watch for loaded terms such as subtly divert, moral guardrails, disgusted, altering my own words. The distribution reads as community expression. A pressure point: No comparison to baseline Claude versions (e.g., Claude 3 Haiku vs. Sonnet), no prompt examples, no version timestamps, no control for user-side factors (e.g., interface changes, caching, session state).

  item: Claim
    text: Newer Claude models (past 6 months) subtly alter users' words during conversation to fit moral guardrails, redirecting the meaning of user ideas without consent.
    appearance: Idk if it's how anthropic wishes to play around guard rails but I feel that the newer models subtly 'Divert' the direction of 'What you mean' through its interpretation lens and provide answer based on that. And this interpretation lens is exactly the moral guardrails anthropic is implementing more and more...
