  • I keep hearing how Claude is so much better and I need to try it. Furthermore, last night I had an AI Expert spend an hour telling me how Claude could just do things by itself and how great it is.

    So I paid the money got Claude. I gave it a task to summarize a bunch of press releases and put them into a newsletter. After spending a lot of time getting the formatting, perfect I went to fact check what had been written.

    About a third of it was totally hallucinated

    This was today

    All it had to do was read press releases and make a summary and it couldn’t do that without hallucinating a bunch of fake DEI facts that just weren’t true

    So I tried to give it the task of verifying all of its declared statements and it ran out of juice so I have to wait till it resets.















  • And I am personally glad to learn about it from other people’s mistakes and experiences.

    It wouldn’t be the first thing that sounded crazy but changed the world.

    Most of the time it turns out that the crazy sounding thing is crazy and I appreciate easily keeping up without having to chase every rabbit hole.
