I gave Claude a document to proofread today. It came back with an error. Clause said I used "told" instead of "tell." The error ended up being Claude's error, as I used "tell," and it was just confused.

This was the first time I ever used Claude. Just wanted to see what it was like. It did apologize, in fairness. But yeah, it's clearly fallible. I guess I don't understand it well enough to get how it read the document incorrectly. I'm baffled.

    It's because it's a statistical model that guesses the next word. You asked it to read a document and formulate a response. So, based on responses in the dataset to the documents in the dataset, it chose the words and phrases which were most likely to be in a response.

    Statistically, the most likely result the machine could come up with, was that you had used the wrong word. Factually, you did not.
