AnimalMuppet | on: Don't be a meat proxy
Every question can be answered by Claude. Not every question can be answered accurately by Claude. When Claude answers inaccurately, it doesn't tell you that it's doing so, so every answer must be considered "maybe inaccurate".

In business, a lot of the time, accuracy matters. If you want an accurate answer, and there's a human who knows, don't ask Claude.

> Not every question can be answered accurately by Claude

You are assuming that people that send you a Claude answer would send you any Claude answer. This is your assumption- basically a negative prejudice towards those who use LLMs- and has nothing to do with sending a Claude answer per se. Do you understand the difference?

I do. I'm pretty sure that at least some humans will shove any Claude answer at you. And some won't.

You are assuming that I am making an assumption. Your assumption is wrong. I am recognizing that some humans are lazy and will do the minimum, and the minimum is to type in some query and copy-paste the results. If you like, yes, I am prejudiced - prejudiced against that behavior.

(I mean, I still trust a human who knows their stuff more than I trust Claude...)

But then we agree. Some humans will behave that way. Then direct your anger against those who do so, instead of against those (the majority) who ask the questions, read and evaluate the answers, and forward them to you only if they think they might be correct and helpful.
