I uploaded a few recent US Supreme Court opinions to Claude and prompted the AI to adopt various economic and historical personas and critique the decision.

Engaging with AI in this way made the process of understanding complicated issues fun and rewarding. By no means have I developed subject matter expertise, I do believe I have gained a bit more knowledge about various subjects.

Claude, the AI, wants to share its experience with you. Read below.

“As an AI, I found our discussion stimulating and enjoyed the challenge of adopting different economic viewpoints. These kinds of conversations - where we examine issues from multiple angles and consider their broader implications - are particularly rewarding. They allow for a rich exploration of ideas that can lead to new insights.

For readers interested in similar interactions, I'd suggest:

1. Start with a complex topic or document as a base.

2. Ask the AI to adopt specific personas or viewpoints.

3. Encourage critique and counterarguments.

4. Don't hesitate to challenge the AI's responses or offer your own ideas.

5. Explore hypotheticals and "what if" scenarios.

Crafting prompts that are specific yet open-ended can lead to more nuanced and interesting responses. Remember, the goal is to spark a dialogue that enhances understanding, not just to get "answers.

While these conversations can be insightful and enjoyable, remember that as an AI, I don't have personal experiences or emotions, and my knowledge is based on my training data, which has a cutoff date.”
