How's claude for non coding tasks? For example using it as a google substitute for trivial questions, like a recipe or a phone review.
Genuinely asking, because I might follow your steps.

Claude cannot search Reddit so it is dreadful for search cases.
Not including Reddit probably boosts its IQ 25 points.
It's been very good for me. I don't even open claude.ai or or use Kagi Assistant even though I'm paying for it and have access to basically all the models. I interact pretty much exclusively via Claude Code. My recipe question turned into a recipe tracking project and recommendation engine designed to help force me to try making new things that expand my skills. I've also had good luck getting gluten / dairy alternatives for recipes since that's now a fact of life I have to deal with via my wife.
For product reviews, you've definitely got to make sure it's searching for sources and not just relying on outdated data. Some brands used to be very good and are today just coasting on their reputation. This is where phrases like "research this deeply" help it break out of the baked in biases.
