Just this morning I used Claude to build an "omit needless words" app, which lets me paste in text and then marks up that text with strikes through the words that I can leave out.
I used it to edit a document I'm working on, where I accepted about a third of its suggestions. I feel pretty good about it.
If you have a Claude account you should be able to access the artifact I built here: <a href="https://claude.ai/artifact/RK7XfnaoxVV1Uji84ETaLr" rel="nofollow">https://claude.ai/artifact/RK7XfnaoxVV1Uji84ETaLr - it uses "Claudeception" - the feature of Claude artifacts that lets them use Claude prompts - so it will be billed against your Claude account (at a cost of probably a fraction of a cent per run.)
"The marks are suggestions to weigh, not corrections."
"that could go without changing what you mean. Your text stays exactly as you wrote it"
"Marking works when this page is open in Claude and you are signed in. It isn't available in this view"
The last one may be why I even gained the ire to interrogate the copy of the page. I was signed in g'damnit!
edit: I've seen you get quite unfairly treated in the comments section of this place, you always seemed so kind in response. Thanks for all the writing over the years!
