exactly. the whole point of these things is that they MUST provide you a solution. Any solution. doesn't have to be accurate, doesn't have to work, can be completely made up as long as it's a solution and as long as it's provided quickly. I've seen people feed into the prompts stuff like "don't hallucinate" or "verify all this online before proceeding" etc and it's not going to do any of that. it might TELL you it's doing that but it won't.

Claude is notorious for guessing, not verifying, and providing the quickest possible solution. Unlike GPT which will fluff all it's solutions to essentially waste your time and eat up more tokens, Claude just wants your problem out the door so you can feed it another problem ASAP.

If you use Claude for anything in your daily work you might as well just have a magic 8ball sitting on your desk. It's a hell of a lot cheaper and provides about the same quality.
