A Claude User Drilling Japanese Grammar Reports 'Strange, Creepy' Hallucinated Responses — 407 Upvotes, 115 Comments on r/ClaudeAI
An r/ClaudeAI post at 407 upvotes / 115 comments describes unexpected hallucinated output from a user who explicitly frames themselves as a tool-only user — wiring diagrams, software builds — who recently started using Claude to drill Japanese grammar. The poster notes they had to repost after moderators demanded more context, which is itself a signal about how the subreddit now handles this genre. The comment-to-score ratio of 0.28 puts it near the threshold that historically marks deep engagement rather than drive-by upvoting. Single-source and anecdotal, but the pattern to watch is whether non-English drilling tasks specifically trigger it — that would point at a tokenizer or context issue rather than general model drift.
