Our Commentary
Claude's new system prompt is fascinating. The explicit ban on reproducing song lyrics and copyrighted content shows how seriously LLM providers are taking copyright issues. I also love that Anthropic's docs are LLM-friendly; that's a brilliant move for discoverability and integration. It's a subtle but important shift in how these models are governed.
