    I tell the LLM I use to do very obscene things to themselves when they make shit up. Which means there is just a constant stream of insults coming from me. I might start using Claude just to see if I get banned.

    I also need new hobbies.

      I also need new hobbies.

      I’d second that. Whenever I catch myself getting angry at a LLM I stop, have a think, and remind myself that it really isn’t productive. If it’s providing frustrating responses, maybe I should just use my brain and do it myself.

      I also don’t think it’s healthy to train yourself to respond in those ways to something that talks in a way so similar to a human. I’m not nice to the AI for it’s benifit, it’s to retain my humanity, if that makes sense.

      That’s bad sib. Not for the LLM, but your own well being. Being mean to a machine that is designed to trigger empathy just hurts your own mental health.

      Please find a hobby that feels good for you 🫂

          I mean, that’s not entirely true. If they’re using your input as training data then you might be training it to be abusive to other users, which could cause harm.

          Not that that falls on you to address. Just pointing out that I’m theory someone could get hurt.

        Lol. “designed to trigger empathy” Thanks for the laugh I needed that.

        They are designed to make their creators as much money as possible. Nothing else.

          Yeah and a bit part of that design is to get you to have an emotional connection with them so that you use them more
