Some people - normal people - understand the difference between the holistic experience of a mathematically informed opinion and an actual model.

It's just that normal people always wanted the holistic experience of an answer. Hardly anyone wants a right answer. They have an answer in their heads, and they want a defensible journey to that answer. That is the purpose of Excel in 95% of places it is used.

Lately people have been calling this "syncophancy." This was always the problem. Sycophancy is the product.

Claude Excel is leaning deeply into this garbage.
