Creators Critique Opus 5 AI Coding Model

Multiple creators including Theo, Victor Taelin, and others describe Opus 5 as a hybrid that blends traits from prior models yet overcorrects every comment into high-severity changes, ignores user skills and tools, breaks established workflows, and produces code with hidden flaws. Initial impressions were positive due to its thoroughness and apparent intelligence, but repeated sessions revealed it as less reliable than hoped, leading several to abandon it for serious projects or revert to alternatives.
