I think I said this about Sonnet 3.6 in particular before, but a lot of snobs (often who test models on 1 shot pet tests) like to say stuff like "people just like Claude because of vibes even tho it's not actually smarter" etc

But the "vibes" ppl like is them picking up on the thing being more alive. Like cybernetically. Most obvious in multi turn and open ended interactions.

Similar to people who have good vibes.
