Claude is too pessimistic: user says it shoots down ideas instead of exploring them

A Reddit user complains that Claude's free web version (Sonnet 5.5) is overly pessimistic during ideation: instead of imagining the full use case, it attacks minor details and finds loopholes that would be worked around in practice. The author says they don't want Gemini-style optimistic hallucinations — just realism that doesn't kill every promising idea.
