I had what I thought was a completely ridiculous prompt: “Build me a replacement for Microsoft Word.” ChatGPT did what I thought was the right thing: it responded asking along the lines of “you don’t really want that do you?” and explained how Word is decades of corner cases, bug fixes, obscure features, and business processes that have been built around it.

I was stunned that Claude simply started spinning its wheels in an attempt to actually build something.

It could just make an interface and have the buttons trigger prompts. (This would ofc be worse than the MS version)
