Claude Interaction Model: Two Shorts

Claude’s constitutional AI training makes it measurably more likely to identify flaws in a plan — users who treat Claude like ChatGPT miss the distinct interaction model and get worse outputs.
The core behavioural shift: describe your situation (context + constraints) rather than prescribing the output you want — Claude responds to framing, not to instruction-following, as its primary mode.
Interaction habit gaps compound: small misalignments between how you prompt and how the model was trained widen into large capability gaps over weeks of use.
Practical takeaway: before switching to a new model, study its interaction design — treat it as onboarding to a new colleague’s working style, not swapping one text interface for another.
