Everybody talks, nobody listens (not even Claude)
I love talking to Claude. It's like talking on speaker phone with someone. But I keep getting interrupted mid-sentence, and 70% of my chats end up like this (exaggerated reconstitution):
Me: "I want the recipe for a cake tha…"
Claude: "Great idea! A cake is the be…"
Me: "Wait, it should be vegan and…"
Claude: "Okay, you want a vegan cake. Here's the recipe…"
Me: "No. I need the recipe for a vegan cake but it has to be no-bake."
It's frustrating. It assumes every tiny pause means I'm done talking. We pause to think, to breathe, to figure out what we want to say next.
I get that Claude is happy to help, but it's like talking to someone who finishes your sentences, except they guess wrong every time.
UX rule: let users decide instead of having the system guess what they want. Maybe a setting where we can adjust how patient Claude is, or a way to signal when we're actually done talking.
By the way, I still don't know how to cook a no-bake vegan cake.
