I asked Claude for one word. It wrote a thesis.

A user on reddit.com shared an experience with Claude, an AI. The user asked Claude for a "yes or no" answer, but Claude responded with a lengthy explanation, stating, "Certainly. However, before providing a binary response, it’s important to consider..." The user humorously compared the interaction to "negotiating with a lawyer" rather than simply prompting an AI, highlighting Claude's verbose nature even when a concise answer was explicitly requested.
