Something funny has just happened

[leblon]

 I got into a habit of talking to Claude when I get stuck on a problem. Until today, the interaction consisted of me asking a question and Claude either proposing a solution (typically, a wrong one) or saying that solving the problem requires genuinely new ideas. But today Claude responded by asking me questions! It would say things like "I am not sure I understood your paper correctly, is this what you meant?" Or "Here is my approach to problem, do you think it could work or is something more radical required, in your opinion?"  It genuinely feels like talking to a human.
