It's just Gen-Z speak, nothing to do with Claude (other than being a vessel for said speak)

I’m gen-x and used wild in of my my HN comments and it seemed to trigger some responders. I was using as a synonym for unexpected. Next time maybe I’ll use whacky instead.
I like wild, it’s a fun word. No need to change if you don’t want to just on account of some grouches here!
we GenX-ers will be placated by any mention of Oscar the Grouch.
I'm gen-x too (56) and remember wild used heavily in the mid to late 80s. Wild to hear it used so liberally once again!
