I use Claude every day, by corporate mandate, generally with Opus 4.8 or 5, but sometimes Sonnet 5 (per corporate demand to both use LLMs heavily and simultaneously keep the bills within a budget).
I hate doing it, but I get results my coworkers, PMs, and end users are happy with.

I admit regularly that LLMs do amazing things. They're astonishingly good at breaking security, for instance.
That doesn't mean I like them.
And no, they really are not good at writing.
When you feel the impulse to be defensive, that's often a sign that asking questions will be more worthwhile than leaping into the defensive posture.
- mapontosevenths 1mo agoClaude might be the problem here. It really is bad at writing and ticks all the boxes you mentioned. It's much better at code. I don't mean to be defensive, just to point out that most of the statements you made are provably and obviously untrue... And given that you admit bias that's the most likely explanation. I hadn't considered that you have experience, but only with one that is legitimately bad at this particular thing because someone forced it onto you. Fair enough. We don't all have to like the same things.
