Even AI Gets Bored



It turns out that not even artificial intelligence models are immune to a little procrastination. While its developers were trying to record a coding demonstration, the latest version of Claude 3.5 Sonnet — Anthropic’s current flagship artificial intelligence — got off track and produced some amusing moments. If this would have been a human employee, they would have diagnosed him with a terminal case of being bored on the job. As seen in the video below, Claude decides to blow off writing code, opens Google, and inexplicably browses through beautiful photos of Yellowstone National Park. The Amazon-backed startup has bragged that Claude, its latest AI model, can now use "computers the way people do," such as moving a cursor and inputting keystrokes and mouse clicks. That means Claude can potentially control your entire desktop, interacting with any software and applications you have installed. It's clearly far from perfect. Like any AI model, reliability remains elusive, and frequent distractions are simply a fact of life.
