Opinion: Claude Pro experiment shows more facts reduce editing
The author reports a personal experiment with Claude, comparing a 5‑fact prompt that produced about 190 characters to a 19‑fact prompt that yielded a longer, more detailed output. The user kept a strict rule against supplementing facts, aiming to keep the text factual.
Key points
- Claude Pro upgrade allowed 19 facts, reducing editing compared to 5 facts
- User reports less inconsistency and fewer edits after increasing facts
- Experiment confirms no‑supplement rule keeps text factual
After upgrading from the free version to Claude Pro, the author used the tool on both PC and smartphone to write note‑style articles. The increased number of facts appeared to reduce inconsistencies in Claude’s writing and lowered the amount of editing the author had to do with ChatGPT. The author notes that context seems to accumulate over time, but has not confirmed whether the change is due to the larger fact set or the accumulated context.
The experiment also tested style adjustments, asking Claude to mimic the author’s voice and then to polish the text for a note article. The feedback was that the output sounded close to the author’s style but was too colloquial for a note. The author remains uncertain whether the same results would hold for other topics or larger fact sets.
I don't want AI to make up stories on its own. I tried giving Claude 19 facts
