I asked it to do some portfolio analysis for me and it created BEAUTIFUL, tabbed, interactive charts UNPROMPTED. This is kind of magical. The charts were not just beautiful, but actually super useful in understanding the data faster. I honestly could not have produced those in a week if you asked me to.

Likewise, it created a couple visualizations for me that weren't requested but were very useful. That's a nice surprise. My takeaway was essentially the same in that I'd take much longer to make something comparable. I'll take advantage of this quite a bit, I think. I spend a lot of time visualizing data

I've done a lot of these visual helpers for my classes (topics vary). This one teaches the Mercator projection and how the ln acts upon the central

Honestly, I initially thought that everyone already does it, amazing it seems they don't yet - neither teachers, nor class. The artefact was created with care and love through a very long conversation, so this is not a 1-shot slop, rather a cared-for-slop :D. Besides I don't think it is easy to get this right from the first time, and the model usually expounds on the irrelevant details if not properly guided by a human hand.

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.

I think this does something for the correctness of LLMs by making it easier to check their output.

No criticism from me towards apple or Anthropic. Both parties made their choice. Apple was late to the identity business and the other ships had already sailed. Third party logins are an extension and a massive risk to any website that doesn't include email hosting. We have see identity providers dissapear, and people may change their mind. Easiest way is to register you rown domain and use it with an identity provid…

Bruh. Are you seriously trying to justify offering Sign in with Google but not ALSO offer Sign in with Apple because of some contorted principle, the method which HELPS users maintain their privacy? What the actual f. Antrhopic's UX is just trash, the worst of all the major AI products. They have this "I'm special" syndrome where they think they can get away with doing shit weirdly and not offer basic features that e…

Apple's identity service is not as common, and newer than the ones that were established before.

It's ok that Anthropic wasn't a fit for your prompting preference, it doesn't have to work for everyone, and it doesn't mean it wont' work for others. LLMs in general have proven that trying it once a few months ago can be a great way to miss changes. There's something out there for everyone.

It's a mismatch with our intuition about how much effort things take. If there's humans involved, "I took this data and made a really fancy interactive chart" means that you put a lot more work into it, and you can probably somewhat assume that this means some more effort was also put into the accuracy of the data. But with the LLM it's not really very much more work to get the fancy chart. So the thing that was a si…

It is not limited to graphics, better packaged products, better dressed / good looking well spoken person and so on. Celebrity endorsements depend on this thesis. There has always been a bias towards form over function.

Once good form becomes commoditized, hopefully function starts taking priority
