My experience mirrors yours, but at a much lower non-tech level. Claude helped this amateur writer considerably with refining a long form travel story, but initial wild enthusiasm devolved into skepticism as my interaction with the AI continued. Given the rapid, recent improvements, I’m still optimistic about the future.

I'm away from my computer until Sunday but will send!
