“A guy just used @AnthropicAI Claude to turn a $195,000 hospital bill into $33,000.

Not with a lawyer. Not with a hospital admin insider. With a $20/month Claude Plus subscription. He uploaded the itemized bill. Claude spotted duplicate procedure codes, illegal “double billing,” and charges that Medicare rules explicitly forbid. Then it helped him write a letter citing every violation. The hospital dropped their demand by 83%. This isn’t just a feel-good story. It’s a preview of what AI will really do next: flatten systems built on opacity. Hospitals, insurance companies, legal firms—all rely on asymmetry. They win because you don’t have access to the same data, code books, or language. Claude gave one person the same leverage as a compliance department. That’s a revolution. We thought AI would replace jobs. Turns out, it’s replacing excuses.”

It also makes it trivial to make complex, ridiculous yet superficially plausible claims in seconds, that may take hours, days or weeks to disprove.

It can create excuses 1000x more easily than it replaces them. For example, a cheating student can generate an essay in a few seconds, but the cheating/plagiarism case against them by their examiner can take days of effort to prove the case and go through the processes.

Everywhere I look, I see modern LLMs do not remove friction, they add it.
