It doesn't read as emphasis to me. It reads like the person is trying hard not to curse, and they think "crap" is a curse word. It's a little bit adorable, like I'm reading a comment from an obedient child.

I guess you are not from the generation of texters. This how languages work we used to use * as a way to avoid getting censored it over time became a way to curse or give emphasis.

I've found sorta the opposite - in any area, it can just do everything for you, or it can be an incredible teacher. I've been re-learning a lot of higher-level math and it has been an knowledgeable, infinitely patient, always-available tutor. Of course, I could just have it do just about any math I want for me, but that's not the point. Kinda the same with language/technology stuff - it can be a great tutor and it ca…

I’ve had this happen to me several time over the past weeks and it’s gone from quaint to humorous to farcical to outright “is-the-world-gaslighting-me” insane. Just today I was reading Stanley Druckenmiller’s op ed in WSJ. This dude is like 80 and has made billions of dollars, and he got Claude to write his op ed??? Unbelievable.
