> but one night when I was sick, I described all my symptoms and it told me to go to the Emergency Department at the hospital. I had something similar happen, but with a different outcome. One week I noticed I had some mild distortions in one eye I which I thought were a bit funny, one of those things, you know? No pain or anything, but eh, the next sunday morning I was just messing around, and just for the heck of it, I described the funny distortion thing to Claude Opus... which proceeded to flip out and told me to call a doctor Right Now. Clearly Claude was broken, right? And what a weird failure mode! It just kept circling back to telling me to see a doctor "please just call at least!". I deleted the conversation (something I now regret) and resolved to get on with my day. But... you know, small doubt having surfaced, I decided to use the expert system provided by my local doctor's practice; which also told me to call immediately ... and that's how I ended that Sunday morning in the passenger seat of a Porsche racing down the autobahn to a nearby hospital. Long story short: I think Claude gets some credit for preventing me from going partially blind. (and don't mess around with your eyesight.)
