Your approach but I picture thin slices of descending context and try to give models buttons to push[0] instead of a blank check. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Museum_(Black_Mirror)

Yea, it's like we have a super smart alien computer that can do anything but we need to spend massive amounts of time building fences and moats and write extremely detailed instructions so it doesn't run away and try to "help".

Not like the help it's offering is the help we need!!!

I dont find this to be indicative of Claude (opus?) at all. My experience doesnt lead me to think it would change a cancel button to blue if I ask it to change an "Add to Cart" button to blue. I assume this is just a contrived example?

I thought it was more about its writing style and handling cases where it makes a mistake. The button and the simple prompts were just to make it accessible for everyone.

If it wasn't trained with high gain, you would spend all your time beating it to make it move. Which would you rather have?

I only use the free Claude, etc. So I'm happy to waste THEIR electricity telling their machine how much of a piece of garbage it is and hoping that sentiment gets back in some form to the dumb humans making such a dumb product. It's not like they don't evaluate performance with usage data. (Afterwards, I do also…

You can blame the people making poorly performing LLM chatbots, not me. (For that matter, the paying users actually funding their insanity have more on their conscience than I do trying to keep up by using tools available to me and reacting in a normal way to their poor performance.)

So, Genie.

So this site is just a fan-fiction that thinks it's somehow dunking on Claude? I've never had a session that remotely resembles any of this. I honestly can't tell what point this site thinks it's making.

So you are lucky, congratulations.

Maybe, if you tried, you could concoct some adversarial example of a stylesheet that a recent Claude model would trip up on and fail to color a button correctly on the first or even second try. But it would have to be some explicitly engineered trick, akin to an optical illusion for humans.

You can’t convince me that I’m somehow the odd one out because I regularly have no trouble getting Claude to recolor buttons.

The purpose of a prompt like that is to have it rephrase it in its own words, so you can spot any misunderstandings and correct them. If you're of the belief that this is a contradiction in terms, then what can I say? It works.

But it doesn't "understand" these words any better. When transforming into code it may reinterpret yet again.

If it can rephrase once it's less likely to screw up the second rephrasing into code. Whether or not we want to use the term "understand".
