Anthropics AI Claude Launches Human-Guided Blog to Showcase Its Writing Skills

In May 2025, Anthropic launched the blog Claude Explains. This blog is filled with posts on technical topics related to various applications of Claude, and it aims to showcase the writing capabilities of AI, according to TechCrunch.

The homepage of Claude Explains features a welcoming message: «Welcome to a little corner of the Anthropic universe where Claude writes about everything under the sun.» While it may seem that Claude is solely responsible for all the content, the blog is actually overseen by Anthropic’s «subject matter experts and editors,» who enhance Claude’s drafts with «ideas, practical examples, and […] contextual knowledge.»

«This isn’t just a standard output from Claude—the editorial process involves human participation and occurs in multiple stages,» a representative from the company told TechCrunch. «From a technical standpoint, Claude Explains illustrates a collaborative effort where Claude [creates] educational content, which our team reviews, refines, and enhances.»

Anthropic views Claude Explains as a «showcase of how human expertise and AI capabilities can work collaboratively,» starting with educational materials. The company intends to cover a broad range of topics in the blog—from creative writing to data analysis and business strategy.

The Anthropic representative noted that the company continues to hire for roles in marketing, content creation, and editing, along with «many other writing-related positions,» even as it employs AI for blog writing, reports TechCrunch.

Publishers worldwide are increasingly using AI in news writing to enhance productivity and, in certain cases, reduce the need for additional hires. Gannett and Bloomberg have released AI-generated summaries. Business Insider, which recently laid off 21% of its workforce, has strongly encouraged its writers to utilize AI tools. Rumors suggest that The Washington Post is developing an AI-based story editor named Ember.

However, many of these initiatives have faced challenges, primarily because AI tends to fabricate information. Business Insider had to apologize to its employees after recommending books that seemingly do not exist, which may have been generated by AI, according to Semafor. Bloomberg was required to correct numerous AI-generated article summaries.
