Is it not a copyright infringement if you pain it yourself? Why is that the case? I thought it would be just that studios wouldn't care for the most part. Hasn't Disney gone after this type of personal projects in the past?

It seems like people here have already made up their mind about how bad llms are. So just my anecdote here, it helped me out of some really dark places. Talking to humans (non psychologists) had the opposite effect. Between a non professional and an llm, i'd pick llm for myself. Others should definitely seek help.

Questions to ask when you think you need to finish something? Sorry for the nitpick, typically my brain completes missing words easily. Must be the lack of coffee here.

Noam Shazeer says it at some point in the Dwarkesh Patel podcast.

Edit : Saw multiple people comment by the time I hit sent. Was it also memorable for you guys? I think it was just the way he said it or something.

New comment by itchyjunk in "Claude 4 System Card"

itchyjunk — Sun, 25 May 2025 10:55:46 +0000

I have the same experience. I was pretty happy with gemini 2.5 pro and was barely using claude 3.7. Now I am strictly using claude 4 (sonnet mostly). Especially with tasks that require multi tool use, it nicely self corrects which I never noticed in 3.7 when I used it.

But it's different in conversational sense as well. Might be the novelty, but I really enjoy it. I have had 2 instances where it had very different take and kind of stuck with me.
