Hi Jason, I don't think my conversation was antagonistic, I was just probing. I expected to hear Claude or Claude v2 or 2.1 etc. I then thought it was strange that it couldn't answer any of what seemed to be specific questions.

Here is a Vanilla GPT with "You are a helpful assistant" instructions answering the questions easily: https://chat.openai.com/share/b6a60a9d-4b38-4b06-953f-bce4f8...

Now I know, comparing to GPT-4 is a little unfair. I like Claude and I want it to do great, but the first step is accepting that it (for now) lags behind in terms of capabilities.

The question is: how do we get it to the point where it is able to answer randomly, arbitrary questions like "Tell me something that happened in 1990." etc.
