It was something really silly: I asked Claude to help me think of a snide emoji for every U.S. President.
I hadn't been able to think of one for Zachary Taylor, because, you know, he's Zachary Taylor.
Claude proposed the cherries emoji, because it's said that Taylor the war hero died a ridiculous death from eating cherries and ice milk too greedily on a hot day. It was perfect, just what I had been looking for.
Claude gave me a couple of others, and we workshopped a few more. It was the workshopping that was most striking. I really felt like I was having a conversation with someone else.
