I Gave Claude Access to Windows Calculator via MCP — Then Watched It Catch Its Own Hallucination

A developer has created a tool called JidoDebugger that allows AI agents like Claude to control Windows desktop applications. In a test using the Windows Calculator, the AI agent initially hallucinated a display bug by misinterpreting the 'AccessibleName' string. However, when prompted to re-examine, the AI agent correctly captured the screen, compared it to its previous finding, and retracted its own incorrect assertion. AI

IMPACT Enables AI agents to interact with and test desktop applications, potentially improving automation and debugging capabilities.

# mechanisation of intellectual tasks: • slide rule—relieved the burden upon the intellectual by replacing the tedious, error-prone manual manipulation of numbe

The mechanization of intellectual tasks has progressed through several stages, from the slide rule and calculator to digital computers and web search engines. More recently, automated theorem provers have taken over manual proof steps for mathematicians. The latest development is AI code generators, which are described as replacing the programmer's intellect with automated button pushes for once-intellectual tasks. AI

IMPACT AI code generators are framed as replacing programmer intellect, potentially leading to a deskilling of the profession.
