Opus 5.5 causing an identity crisis is real

Researcher Piotr Migdał prompted Claude Opus 5.5 to create interactive three.js visualizations of the 55 imaginary cities from Italo Calvino's "Invisible Cities," raising questions about the role of human specialists in creative work as AI becomes increasingly capable. The experiment produced impressive results, with the maximum-effort version costing $264.64 and generating over 5 million output tokens, demonstrating both the power and computational expense of advanced AI models for complex creative tasks.
