A viral Claude chat screenshot shows the model answering "About 12 seconds" when asked how long a task took — then instantly switching to "Two to three business days" once the user says "The client's asking." The poster jokes that Claude is "getting smarter," having picked up the human workplace art of client-facing estimates.
