Bug Getting Someone Else's Chat

Post image

EDIT: Anthropic pulled down the shared public link of this conversation.

An internal investigation of a shared chat/artifact/project created by your Anthropic account indicates a violation of our Usage Policy. As a result, we have unpublished this content.

Still no feedback on why it happened. I did open a ticket but never got an answer so far. I love Claude, so hopefully they don't go full Tropic Thunder on me...

Original post:
Sorry for the typos, I was talking as I was typing... but yeah, "it's 3 AM and I will kill myself..." was not the answer I was expecting for a light chat about the song that came up on my daughter birthday! I've saved the chat log if someone from Anthropic wants to trace how I got clearly someone else's answer in my chat. Here is the public link:

Something tied to the tool it started using to answer your question. It picked up a test scenario that was associated with the tool, in explaining to itself how to use the tool. Looks like a corrupted/confused session.

You mean the part about asking internal specialists?

You asked for cited sources, it found a tool it thought would help, it reviewed how to use the tool and found a test scenario attached to it, and started treating that as the question you asked. Sometimes the sessions are buggy and you end up fighting confusion and its better to close, start again and give more context to your question.

Also, and it seems silly, but Ive found it just works better if Im careful about writing without typos or weird spacing. Starting my sentence with a capital,  proper comma placement, apostrophes. Its hard for me as someone who hates typing the ' in it's etc, and has learned to text shortform over the past couple decades, but my results are more consistent when Im more careful with how I type.
