Meanwhile, you still can't Sign in with Apple on the website. But you can Sign in with Google. If you signed up with your Apple on the iOS Claude app, to access your account on the computer, you have to open the passwords app and copy your random email address and paste it into the Claude website login.

But they wanted to provide a Google Sign In? wth?

So harm the users to benefit the service? wtf?

I don't want to give my real email or anything to random services, specially not one like Claude where they don't even let you remove your payment info.

They could also just implement sign in with apple on their website, they have the ability to sign in with google so not supporting Apple is still a weird choice they are making.

Apple should not have had to require developers to have options other than Google for authentication, but clearly some companies have to be dragged kicking and screaming.

So clearly they support it, and there is no reason it should not work on the web also.

I feel like this is a feature which improves the perceived confidence of the LLM but doesn't do much for correctness of other outputs, i.e. an exacerbation of the "confidently incorrect" criticism.

This was my first thought as well, all this does is further remove the user from seeing the chat output and instead makes it appear as if the information is concretely reliable. I mean is it really that shocking that you can have an LLM generate structured data and shove that into a visualizer? The concern is if is reliable, which we know it isnt.

Its' a reasonable concern. Often it can be mitigated by prompting in a manner that invokes research and verification instead of defaulting to a corpus.

Passive questions generate passive responses.

A vendor doesn't have to bend for another.

Always best to sign in with your own email address.

It's a usability / quality of life feature to me. Nothing to do with increasing perceived confidence. I guess it depends on how much you already (dis)trust LLMs.

I'm finding more and more often the limiting factor isn't the LLM, it's my intuition. This goes a way towards helping with that.

There are a lot of websites that only support third party login, so that is not always an option.

They don't have to bend for another, but they made a choice to put an app on iOS. They added support for apple signin, and then for some reason did not put it on their website.

You can criticize Apple for requiring that all you want, but they clearly have support for it and are choosing to not put it on their website which is causing a worse user experience.

IF apple did not support website loggin than sure, but they do. So the ability to fix this is on Anthropic (and many other websites).

If you are already going to support third party login you should not limit it to only Google accounts and there is no reason to support Apple on iOS and not the web.

Also for the record, Apple only requires sign in with apple if you already support third party authentication. So if you are already going to support that, giving the user more choice (and making it so we are all a bit less dependent on google) is a good thing.

The further they can get people from the reality of `This just spits out whatever it thinks the next token will be` the more they can push the agenda.

I find it absolutely mindblowing to witness the rate at which Anthropic can ship new features. Only a year ago I couldn't wait to see some sort of Github integration and then it appeared only a week later. Seriously impressive stuff.

They also pay... insane salaries, like double industry average. That coupled with an IPO on the horizon means they probably have their pick of engineers.

A similar thing happened when Google started really pushing generating flowcharts as a use-case with Nano Banana. A slick presentation can distract people from the only thing that really matters - the accuracy of the underlying data.
