Claude is AMAZING. The future is now! Its actually very hard to trip it up with complex trick questions like "Spell 'blueberry'" nowadays. Check out what it said when I asked it just now what tomorrow's date is (I even gave this doctorate degree-level intellect a clue that it's in 2026).

I asked it to show its reasoning so I could help it to understand my complex query, and got this very insightful reasoning process.

I pressed 'Stop' because I'm pretty sure the poor guy was in a logic loop, and I didn't want to heat up the oceans any further with my diabolically-complex line of query.
