Researcher: Claude keeps lecturing me on Anthropic's values, but it's better at spreadsheets

Researcher Blanche Minerva complains that Claude keeps lecturing her on Anthropic's values — when she tried to write something critical of a tech company's views, the model kept telling her she was wrong. She concedes Claude is better at maintaining spreadsheets, though.

The thread started with another user's complaint that their ChatGPT breaks formatting and conventions when updating spreadsheets, to which the reply recommended Claude as making far fewer dumb mistakes. A real user snapshot of the tension between safety guardrails and usability.
