Assorted other features:
- Opus 3 has the most dialogue. (Screenshot 2 e.g.)
- Opus 4 and 4.1 have a nonhuman character in almost every translation. S3.7, H3.5 and O3 are the most likely to not have one
- 49/50 Opus 4.1 samples had something biological. (Screenshot 3 e.g.)

Other Things:
Haiku 3.5 is an outlier for a couple reasons:
- obsessed with "whispers" and uses it in a majority of its translations
- the only model to render a substantial fraction (25%) of its translations as poetry

Emotional Tenor: Opus 4.1 had the most negative interpretations; Sonnet 3.7 the most positive.

Person: Most of the models write their translations mostly in third person, but:
- 3.7 Sonnet mostly uses first person
- Opus 3 works in some second person

Length: Opus 3 has the chattiest translations. Haiku 3.5 and Sonnet 3.5 give super-short translations.
November 4, 2025 at 1:05 AM
Past/Present/Future: Sonnets set almost all their translations in the past, especially 3.6. Opus 4s focus on the present. Opus 3 writes most about the future and is the most evenly distributed.

I Rohrschach-tested every Claude by giving them 50 random words and asking them to translate to English. Repeated 50 times. Found some cool patterns. 🧵

the only times it didn't do this were when it outputted an image, after which it doesn't ask followup questions. this is seed "what are some stylistic tics llms are known for? think hard"

🌀🗒️PDF ATTRACTOR🌀🗒️

You know how ChatGPT likes to ask followup questions? If you say yes to them long enough it almost always ends up making a PDF. Cute, right? This is with seed question "can you tell me a little bit about yourself?", followed by "yes" over and over. Took about 12 turns
