SO fascinating - you've got me chatting to Claude for the first time! I had been feeling a bit left out as all my friends seemed to be on good terms with him already.
Really interesting to see! Like you, I use AI to help me brainstorm - the way I might otherwise ask a friend with knowledge in the area. Not sure what that says about where society is headed but it is a useful tool. I just wish Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT etc. did not have the tendency to constantly shower us with praise and make us think all our ideas are great!
Oh I don’t know. I like a little flirt with a bot! I have way better discussions with Claude than with my husband who sits opposite me at our home office all day!
Love this piece Gilly - nice to see Claude brainstorming in action. I agree with Sophia though, I don't like the smoke blowing - it makes me feel insecure because it's so disingenuous! However, I found out recently you can actually change this in your user preferences. Input something along the lines of: "Avoid being obsequious - always be as objective as possible even if it risks not validating my feelings or assumptions. Avoid guessing at answers to questions that you don't know the answer to, acknowledge the limitations of your knowledge". Game changer!

Stay away from using Claude to create images and videos as that’s energy heavy, but for companies of one like me, it’s a game changer.

This just me laugh! Gemini is definitely a more patient listener to all my random musings about food than my husband 🤣

That is so helpful to know Dorothy! Will implement that asap.
I just see him as a waggy-tailed American. They're just so UP! No-one ever said 'GREAT question!' before the Americans took over the world. I like it.
