I was banned from Claude for scaffolding a Claude.md file? (hugodaniel.com)

A user of Claude, the AI model from Anthropic, reported being banned from the platform after attempting to implement a trivial project scaffolding task involving a CLAUDE.md file. In an effort to automate his workflow, the user had set up two instances of Claude to assist in executing repetitive code tasks. However, his activity triggered the platform’s prompt injection heuristics, resulting in an abrupt suspension of his account, categorized by the system as a “disabled organization.” Despite his appeal for clarification or reinstatement, he received no communication from Anthropic except for a refund. This incident highlights significant concerns within the AI/ML community regarding automation and the current state of platform moderation. The user’s experience underscores a growing issue of overly aggressive security measures in AI applications, prioritizing safety at the potential cost of user engagement and support. This situation may deter developers from experimenting with AI-driven tools due to fears of misinterpretation and consequent account suspensions. As the user repositions his project without the assistance of Claude, the challenge remains for AI platforms to balance security with user-friendly experiences in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.
