If you absolutely have to use LLMs, they should be adressed like servants in old school style, in third person only.

I am never overtly abusive when I am forced to use AI at work, but there certain things I learned growing up that can be just as bad.
Every time I try to do something complex with AI it ends in swearing and extreme insults... No regrets
I’m not sure what abuse means in this situation. Maybe abuse in overburdening the system, but words do not cause harm as we know it to the algorithms. If we assume that these algorithms can understand anything like we do, there is no reason to think talking they have the same criteria for abuse that we do. For all we know belittling and yelling at them is welcomed and taking calmly to them is actually abuse. Though I think it has no concept of abuse to even start with. It is just a stochastic parrot that says and responds in a way based on whatever is in the training set.
"Don't taunt happy fun ball".
Alabama Man!
"When his wife asks him where he's been, just use the action button and bust her lip open."
Another franchise, but also relevant.
They sometimes work better if you abuse them enough or make a rule for them that says you are going to abuse them if they won't behave.
Have to edit yourself for chat bots even. I'm mean af to AI because it wastes my time. Guess I'll be getting banned
Don't be mean to clankers? Fuuuuck that noise
So… where do I go do this? I want to be banned by ever AI slop producing company that exists.
“Claude your name literally translates to lame”. [BANNED]
Every time I read something like this I'm a little more convinced that these people are actually trying to create Roko's Basilisk.
They don't want the noise, they do not give a shit if you are abusive.
so xitter is going to be announcing their ai sub option.
Kinda pleased to read this, deterring people acting in an abusive manner is a net positive imo, it cooks your brain to be bitter all the time
