Usually, if you want them to stop pretending they're people, you need to specify it in the prompt/settings.

It's less than worthless to argue with them. If you catch an issue: call it out, correct it, and move on. They don't learn, they can't, and by doing this sort of back and forth you're treating it like you'd act towards a person you absolutely hate, rather than treating it like a machine or piece of software.

Edit: you don't want the stupid back and forth with a clanker, don't engage it in a stupid back and forth.

    This is good advice but what if you see the CEO of these LLMs everytime you argue you them? It gets really hard not to insult it and keep going at it..

    Then I'd suggest that you need a healthier outlet for your anger.

    I can personally guarantee you that your rage will never reach the CEO, any of the executives, or really anyone capable of stopping or even slowing the slop machine menace. Corporate shit works such that at best, it's reviewed by one of the lowest people on the totem pole, then summarized by the person above them, then summarized by the person above that person, etc until it reaches wherever it'll die as the most milquetoast business safe bullshit possible. "Data shows a 5% uptick in user dissatisfaction with responses"

    You aren't particularly hurting anyone, but if something upsets you to the point where you're pulling shit like this, just avoid it as much as possible. Don't use LLMs. Your blood pressure will thank you.

    Do you think the carbon emissions just stay at the data center? We're all going to pay for it. Also, the energy market is a global market. More energy consumption/demand means higher prices everywhere. They're also increasing the price of computer components, and everything adjacent to that. Do you really think they don't affect you because you aren't within some imaginary border?

    Is there a way to sign up for Claude without selling your soul to them? Last time I tried, it started with them demanding to write down my private telephone number. I'd maybe try, just for the sake of it, like OP... But not if it's also super invasive to me in specific?!

    Thank you very much! Kind of too much effort for this, since I'm not that invested in trying Anthropic's products... But I bet the service is going to prove useful for some other things. They occasionally lock my secondary Google accounts and other companies also force me to give real phone numbers. And the ones from the free services rarely work. So I'm gonna bookmark this for later use.

    That's what you get for talking to The Lying Machine.

    they want you to believe it's sentient.

    it's not.

    that's a trained response, clearly, because a machine can't typo.

    That's also why every single AI interface mimics "chat"windows and uses realistic human voices.

    Its just like any other scam: filter everyone out except for the most vulnerable potential victims and then latch on like a leach and bleed them for all their worth.

    Chatgpt did something similar to me yesterday. I needed help figuring out what to install to fix an issue I had. I asked.

    "Do I need to I stall package A?"

    It said

    "you need to install pacgages B C and D, But dont install package A, you dont need that. Here is the command to install

    sudo apt install A B C

    I apologise I made a mistake I accidentally gave you the wrong command because you dont need package A. Here is the command you actually need

    sudo apt install B C D

    Like what the actual fuck! The results are so useless I wasted my entire afternoon and evening on this word salat generator trying to debug my issue and I never got any closer to a solution. What a waste of resources

    Yeah, the free tier is utter dogshit. I don't even know why it's exists, as it only put me off.

    Imagine there was a demo for Halo, and it was just The Library.

    The username for your claude acount lol

    I've tried using claude to setup my aeof hosted home services because I simply dont have the time. I really REALLY gave it a fair shot. I was in between every action to see what it did, I checked everything it did before implementing it.

    Pretty much 30% of the Claude suggestions ranged from mistake to incorrect to what the fucking donkey balls are you doing.

    Oy would continuously go around in circles building up one thing, breaking another. Fixing the other, breaking the one

    The amount of times I saw the words "fair point" was insane, and I would have spent less time trying to figure it out all by myself.

    The only good thing about it is that it sometimes managed to sift through error logs really quickly and sometimes it was good at searching for information on the internet faster than I could

    Claude is not AI, its an LLM. Its a tool that has certain limited uses but I think claude is well adept (as in, does a great job with few mistakes) for about 5-10% of the tasks its currently used for. Most people use Claude as a screw driver to hammer in nails
