Hey everyone, I’ve been using Claude AI for a while now and I’m curious about its limitations. I know it can do a lot of cool stuff, but I’ve noticed there are some things it won’t do.
Has anyone made a list of tasks or requests that Claude refuses to carry out? I’m wondering if there are specific categories of actions it avoids, like maybe anything illegal or unethical.
It would be really helpful to know what kinds of things are off-limits for Claude. That way we can avoid wasting time asking for stuff it can’t do. Plus, it’s just interesting to understand the boundaries of AI assistants like this.
Anyone have experience with this or know where I could find more info? Thanks!
hey, claude avoids sketchy stuff like illegal requests, explicit content, medical advice, and writing essays. also, it won’t generate or edit images. what other limits did u notice?
As someone who’s been using Claude extensively, I can share some insights on its limitations. From my experience, Claude won’t engage in anything illegal or potentially harmful, like hacking or creating malicious code. It also steers clear of impersonating real people or generating explicit content.
I’ve noticed Claude won’t help with academic dishonesty, like writing essays for students. It’s also cautious about giving medical or legal advice, usually suggesting consulting professionals instead.
One interesting limitation is that Claude won’t create or edit images. It can describe images, but won’t generate or manipulate them.
These boundaries seem to be rooted in ethical considerations. While it can be a bit frustrating at times, I appreciate that Claude has these safeguards in place. It’s a good reminder that AI assistants have their limits and aren’t meant to replace human judgment in sensitive areas.
