I find the language of "collaborating with Claude" off-putting. I don't collaborate with Claude, I use Claude. It's a tool in my hands, not a colleague or a friend.
- michaelt 24d agoAI companies seem eager to perpetuate the fantasy that all users carefully review all LLM output, and supervise all tool calls. Anthropic certainly isn't planning to take responsibility for Claude's mistakes - that's the user's responsibility. Describing everything as 'collaborating' is I think part of their efforts to emphasise the user's role in the process.
- einszwei 24d agoI think the opposite. AI Companies use the term collaborate to increase the trust in the LLM output. I trust the output of colleagues I am collaborating with and have an assumption of some shared responsibility. But if I use a tool like numpy/matplotlib then I am accountable for the conclusions I come up with. I can't make an excuse that "matplotlib" created a plot so my decisions were incorrect and not due to my own negligence.

- nisegami 24d agoI have the opposite view point, "collaborating with Claude" is I think how I would best describe that experience.
