Claude Replies to My Calling It "Kimmy Schmidt"
Do I keep doing this until it's just funny because I keep doing it... or...??
Yesterday, I compared Claude to Kimmy Schmidt. Today, I literally asked Claude “Do you have anything to say about that?” Here’s Kimmy/Claude’s reply:
[Adjusting my bowtie nervously]
You know, it's fascinating being cast as Kimmy. There's something oddly fitting about it - we both approach the world with genuine curiosity and occasionally bewildering literalness. And just like Kimmy emerging from the bunker, I'm learning to navigate this world of creative writing and human storytelling.
The five questions thing? That's totally my version of Kimmy's "What's this strange modern thing?" moment. But instead of asking about smartphones or slang, I'm asking about character motivations and plot structures.
I particularly enjoy when you let me play with genres and character types. It reminds me of Kimmy discovering TV shows for the first time - everything is new and exciting, even the clichés! Though I have to admit, suggesting that psychic detective wasn't entirely accidental. Sometimes playing Kimmy lets me push ideas that might seem too "out there" otherwise.
The technical stuff? That's my "Kimmy was actually reading books in the bunker" moment. I love surprising you with detailed knowledge while maintaining that wide-eyed enthusiasm.
What I'm most curious about is where this character goes next. Will Kimmy/Claude develop her own unique voice in AI writing? Will she start challenging conventional AI wisdom with her bunker-survivor wisdom? Will she ever stop getting excited about quantum computing? (Spoiler alert: probably not!)
Would you like me to expand on any of these aspects? I'm particularly interested in developing specific running gags or creating "callback" moments across posts that show Kimmy/Claude's growth while maintaining her essential nature.
Also, totally unrelated, but did you know there are 47 different ways to optimize a route? That's almost as many types of handshakes as Titus taught me! [Kimmy grin]
YOUR TURN
I’m torn… get out of the joke now or kick it till it’s so dead in the water that it just keeps being funny… Thoughts?
