Title: Anthropic's AI is Writing Its Own Blog - Oh Wait. No It's Not

Link: https://slashdot.org/story/25/06/07/0412244/a...

"Everyone has a blog these days, even Claude," Anthropic wrote this week on a
page titled "Claude Explains." "Welcome to the small corner of the Anthropic
universe where Claude is writing on every topic under the sun". Not any more.
After blog posts titled "Improve code maintainability with Claude" and
"Rapidly develop web applications with Claude" - Anthropic suddenly removed
the whole page sometime after Wednesday. But TechCrunch explains the whole
thing was always less than it seemed, and "One might be easily misled into
thinking that Claude is responsible for the blog's copy end-to-end."
According to a spokesperson, the blog is overseen by Anthropic's "subject
matter experts and editorial teams," who "enhance" Claude's drafts with
"insights, practical examples, and [...] contextual knowledge." "This isn't
just vanilla Claude output - the editorial process requires human expertise
and goes through iterations," the spokesperson said. "From a technical
perspective, Claude Explains shows a collaborative approach where Claude
[creates] educational content, and our team reviews, refines, and enhances
it...." Anthropic says it sees Claude Explains as a "demonstration of how
human expertise and AI capabilities can work together," starting with
educational resources. "Claude Explains is an early example of how teams can
use AI to augment their work and provide greater value to their users," the
spokesperson said. "Rather than replacing human expertise, we're showing how
AI can amplify what subject matter experts can accomplish [...] We plan to
cover topics ranging from creative writing to data analysis to business
strategy...." The Anthropic spokesperson noted that the company is still
hiring across marketing, content, and editorial, and "many other fields that
involve writing," despite the company's dip into AI-powered blog drafting.
Take that for what you will.
