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.

A recent LinkedIn post that I came across as an example of people trusting (or learning to trust) AI too much while not realizing that it can make up numbers too: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mariamartin1728_claude-wrote-...

P.S. Credit to the poster, she posted a correction note when someone caught the issue: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mariamartin1728_correction-on...

It was inevitable until the point all apps will disappear and AI will be the entry point for all work. You can see how anything required appear based on a single request. After which world models and other forms of interaction that are more dynamic will make sense and we'll need something that's not a screen.

Its a large leap from “we made a config driven diagram tool and trained an llm on that config” to “all apps will disappear”. If you’re predicting such grand claims please be more precise than “AI” which is a term we cant define.

Yeah an app doesn't "disappear" because you put an AI interface in front of it and then use a bunch of old school programming to parse LLM output and feed that into your old app. 99% of the work is still building the old app.

I agree. Maybe next they'll add emotionally evocative music, with swelling orchestral bits when you reach the exciting climate of the slop.

Reliability has been the real bottleneck for multi-agent setups in production. The hard part isnt getting one agent to do something clever once - its making repeated runs observable and bounded when tools fail halfway through. Idempotency checks, explicit handoff state, and human review gates have mattered more for us than adding another model or another agent role.

The artifact output model is more useful than it looks at first. We use Claude in a multi-agent pipeline and discovered that structured artifact outputs reduce parse errors significantly compared to freeform text responses -- the model seems to reason differently when it knows the output will be rendered. Curious whether Anthropic sees similar quality improvements in tool-use tasks when the output has a concrete format constraint.

I tried the periodic table in their examples using sonnet 4.6 on the $20/mo plan. After a few minutes Claude told me it reached the max message length and bailed. I pressed continue and eventually it generated the table, but it wasn't inline, it was a jsx artifact, and I've now hit my daily usage limit.

I’m intermittently getting artifacts vs the new visuals api, depending on which version of the Claude app I use. iOS/iPadOS apps are not yet supporting the visualization API, and I don’t see an app-store update yet.

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 clearly vibe code a lot (most? all?) of their stuff, and it shows. Elementary features are broken regularly and while I appreciate them trying new features, I'd appreciate it more if existing ones were reliable and promptly fixed if broken.

Trouble is, vibe coding refinements and bug fixes works well but probably isn't a good track to promotions at Anthropic (or virtually any other company.)

When I ask chatgpt to create a mermaid diagram for me it regularly will add new lines to certain labels that will break the parse. If you then feed the parse error back to it the second version is always correct And it seems to exactly know the problem. There are some other examples where it will almost always get it wrong the first time but right if nudged to correct itself. I wonder what the underlying cause is

Today I asked Claude to create me a squidward looking out the window meme and it started generating HTML & CSS to draw squidward in a style best described as "4 year old preschooler". Not quite it yet.

Not really. It's the user's fault. Apple provides an option to hide your email, it's not required. It's an option that shows up when you're prompted to create an account.
