You do realize you can ask Claude about the things you don't understand?

"PhD level" just means you finished a bachelor and masters degree and are now doing a bit of original research as an employed research assistant.

Claude isn't "PhD level" anything. This shows a complete lack of understanding here. Claude has read every single text book in existence, so it can surface knowledge locked away in book chapters that people haven't read in years (nobody really reads those dense books on niche topics from start to finish).

Since Claude has infinite patience, you can just keep asking until you get it.



Man people really overestimate training. Claude did not 'read' any of that either. I wish frontier models behaved like people that had read and remembered everything they've trained on, but they're not.
