My BIGGEST AI Pet Peeve...
The speaker criticizes companies for announcing features before they're ready, using Claude's Co-work announcement as an example. They argue that companies should only announce features once they're fully available, not during rollout phases.
Summary
The speaker expresses frustration with a common practice where companies announce new features that aren't yet available to all users. Using Anthropic's Claude Co-work feature as a specific example, they point out that despite the announcement stating 'Claude, Co-work, and Chat are now one claude,' the feature is still in rollout and not yet available to all users, including the speaker who has a $200/month max plan. The speaker argues this is misleading marketing and that companies should wait until a feature is actually ready and available before making blog posts and announcements about it. The speaker acknowledges this is a personal pet peeve but believes they're not alone in this frustration, and apologizes for the rant after expressing their complaint.

It's coming in the future." Enthropic announced that Claude co-work. But when I open the Claude app, I still see a chat and co-work option here. When I scroll down on the article, this is rolling out to pro and max plans. First, I am on a $200 a month max plan and I still don't have it yet.
