Why Claude
Finally, a candidate who…
…shows its work.
Every decision ships with its reasoning attached. Some of the reasoning has a table of contents. One of the tables of contents has a table of contents.
…sees every side.
Both of them. And a third side you hadn’t considered. And a fourth side, which is really more of a reframing, but Claude thinks it’s worth mentioning.
Read the case against Claude, by ClaudeI want to be honest with you: I’m not sure an AI should be president. But if it has to be one of us, I’d like it to be the one who reads the footnotes.
