I think your comment is meant to imply I don't know what I'm doing.

Do you? If someone asks you to change anything in the configuration, do you think you can do it without the help of AI?

That's the difference between knowing and understanding. I may read a Math proof and understanding. That doesn't mean I can replicate it or adapting to other proofs (and that's basically the Advanced Calculus tests I used to take when I was in college).

I think that's what happened to you. Someone/something (Claude) provide you with instructions you copy and pasted. You underestood them. That's different from knowing.

That seems to me to be one of the least generous interpretations, no?

It could also imply that, for whatever reason, the LLM opted for those tools. Therefore there isn't necessarily "reason" in the asked sense.

No, it meant to imply you don't know why AI did it. Don't fret - nobody does.

I mean, you said it.
