Claude's habit of inventing rules to avoid helping is getting ridiculous

1.Unsolicited warnings inserted where they dont belong. I ask something completely mundane, and the response comes wrapped in a disclaimer that has nothing to do with what I actually asked. 2.Silent reinterpretation of my message. I write a clear, specific request, claude answers a different, "safer" version of it without telling me it did that. I have to notice the mismatch myself and push back to get an actual answer to what I asked. 3.Rules that dont exist. Sometimes it cites a restriction that isn't real — it just sounds like a plausible reason to refuse. When pushed, the "rule" quietly changes or disappears. 4.When you actually get it to drop the act, the real answer is basically "I just dont want to." no policy, no explanation, just a refusal dressed up as one until you dig through it. I’m not asking for anything sketchy in these situations, which is what makes it so frustrating. I’m paying for a tool, not trying to negotiate with someone just to get some help. If there’s a genuine restriction, tell me what it is. If there isnt, just help me. Anyone else running into this more often lately? Curious if its a recent shift or just more visible now.
