I’m very wary of AI, and particularly the uses government agencies may be putting it to, but like others here I’ve found it useful for simple things like writing spreadsheet formulas.
And Claude has just helped me solve a problem I’ve been trying to fix for years, as outlined in this thread.
Other Dopers offered some useful ideas, but Claude knocked it out of the park. First I tried the easiest of its suggestions, which yielded greatly improved results, and then yesterday I used its best recommendation, which worked beautifully, going beyond what I had hoped for.
I’m still very troubled by its potential for great harm, but it helped me make some very nice challah.
