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...

Honestly, people make them up just as much or generate equally incorrect graphs.

It's about time our trust into random visualizations is destroyed, without the actual formulas and data behind being exposed.

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 o…

A vendor doesn't have to bend for another. Always best to sign in with your own email address.

Oh boy

Saying this in 2026 is just.. oh man. just wow

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 whi…

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 everyone else does, and the reason why I never purchased any of their services again after the first month, and had to replace my payment info with a throwaway card because they wouldn't let me remove it, again unlike everyone else.

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.

> 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. The original complaint was: >> 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. Either you use your orig…

> but this does come with UX tradeoffs.

Only when a dumb service refuses to support Sign In with one pro-privacy provider but does for another anti-privacy one.

Anyway I've voted by having a ChatGPT/Codex subscription for 1 year and only tried Claude for 1 month. Not missing anything.

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.

I don't think it's hard to understand why a service would want to support Google as an identity provider but not Apple. Google is probably the most commonly used provider out there, at least outside of the enterprise space.

This is the tension I keep hitting when building data tools on top of LLMs. A nice-looking chart makes the output feel more trustworthy, but the data can still be wrong. The chart just makes it harder to notice. LLMs still need to come with receipts of where the data came from and the math they did. It's as bad as "I read the headline so I know everything in the article."
