Are you joking? Is there literally "nothing" you can imagine that Claude can't do?

Not OP, but in 6 months of using Opus I haven't yet found anything that I know how to do but it does not. On the contrary -- it can do things instantly that I would have needed a ~week refresher on some SDK or some algorithm in order to implement myself--plus a ton of thrash/debugging time.

What have YOU thought of that Claude can't do?

- play a video game

- write a story that isn't terrible

- throw a baseball

- tell a good joke
