As I have said on many occasions I like to try new tools all the time and in this AI craze there are a lot of things to try. 😁
Yesterday I reported on some extremely simple coding stuff that I was using Claude for where it completely failed.
Today I thought that I would use Claude for some extremely simple stuff where I collect data and update my excel sheets for my financial analysis. I gave exact links to where the data should be fetched and in my excel file it is very clear what CRB Index I am referring to.
Claude then gave me a modified excel file where all my calculations were removed and all my charts etc. It was replaced with a few columns of data reflecting a CRB index and the USD/SEK cross rate.
I checked the data closely and noticed that the values were way off so I asked Claude about it and this is what I got back.
After going back and forth I ended up with the following recommendation.
Thanks for nothing Claude!! 😁
I actually care about this stuff so I take my time to actually check what I get is correct. I keep reading about people who rave about having agents doing unattended research for hours while they are away doing other stuff and then just enjoy some resulting charts. 😁
My tip for you, stop doing research and instead do what you think is fun and enjoyable! Imagine going through and double checking all the research that Claude could have made for me during hours of unattended work. OMG…
