AI experiment"I told Claude to 'make it better' 100 times": 170,000 views; Opus kept adding features until the site hit 21,000 lines

Nate Herk | AI Automation's Oct. 29 video "I Told Claude to 'Make it better' 100 Times (It Went Too Far)" passed 170,000 views. He gave Claude Code a bad coffee-shop website and told it to make it better 100 times in a row, once with Sonnet 5.5 and once with Opus 5.5.

The description says Sonnet made small, careful changes while Opus kept adding features until the site reached 21,000 lines and started breaking itself. Neither model searched the web, though both could.

Comments: "'dont-make-mistakes' x100 experiment next" (50 likes). The top comment (92): "It's crazy to think about how much one of these websites would have cost a coffee shop just a year ago."
