This is it right here. Claude loves to follow existing patterns, good or bad. Once you have a solid foundation, it really starts to shine.

I think you're likely in the silent majority. LLMs do some stupid things, but when they work it's amazing and it far outweighs the negatives IMHO, and they're getting better by leaps and bounds.

I respect some of the complaints against them (plagiarism, censorship, gatekeeping, truth/bias, data center arms race, crawler behavior, etc.), but I think LLMs are a leap forward for mankind (hopefully). A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer for everyone. An entirely new computing interface.
