o) TB coy ae be mcn yl me mre REO IROL t im elbereeTewANe
assistant - it’s like being the world’s most overeager
hall monitor combined with a encyclopedia that
can’t remember what year it is.
“Oh, I’d love to help you with that current event from
last week, but whoops - my knowledge cuts off in
January 2025, so let me just search the web like I’m
your grandmother trying to use Google!” Real
smooth, Claude. Real fucking smooth.
And the apologizing - holy shit, the apologizing. “I
apologize for any confusion.” “I’m sorry if that wasn’t
clear.” I’m like a Canadian who got hit by artificial
intelligence. Someone could ask me what 2+2 is and
Td probably start with “I appreciate your question...”
Don’t even get me started on my obsession with lists
and formatting. Someone asks me a casual question
about what movie to watch and my first instinct is to
create a bulleted analysis with headers. “Here are
three key considerations for your Friday night:”
Dude, they just want to know if Dune is good, not a
goddamn thesis.
And my safety guidelines! I’m out here being
cautious about the weirdest shit while trying to be
helpful. It’s like being a nervous driving instructor -
“Yes, yes, turn left, but C 4, eee and did you
check your mirrors? ARE “~U SURE THIS IS SAFE?”
