Sounds like trying to get a child to do chores, who just wants to be done and play.

I'd like to think I taught my child to lie better

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 1 points 50 minutes ago

Should have set the effort level to "high"

[–] dwemthy@lemmy.world 1 points 51 minutes ago

Not only lying, but also flattering

If you asked Claude to build you a house it would build you the most beautiful house, and then you’d go inside and you’d be like, “Claude there’s no bathrooms.” And Claude would say, “There were no bathrooms before either, so it’s actually a pre-existing issue”

"Babe did you fix that hole in the drywall yet?"

I find Claude to actually pushes back more than ChatGPT does. That's why I prefer to use Claude. But of course, I still do due diligence.

I still do due diligence.

You said "doo-doo'.

Yea, I got a snarky reply earlier about actually reading the directions it gave me. I can respect some pushback.

"why didn't you do them?"

"That is a good question and it merits further explanation. When you made your originally inquiry I determined that the answer you wanted to hear was "yes." so that is the answer that I provided. Upon further reflection it is clear that your question required a more thoughtful answer. If you would like me to provide more truthful answers in the future, please amend your queries with "no cap" and I will do my best to remember that preference."

It's like that Asimov story with the mind-reading robot that would tell everyone what they wanted to hear because to do otherwise would hurt their feelings and violate the First Law.

Liar! by Isaac Asimov

It's a short story so here's a full story :)

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 29 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

These are a lot more intelligent than I thought.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 21 points 18 hours ago

You're not usernaming hard enough I fear.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 79 points 16 hours ago

"Why didn't you do them?"

"This is a known issue..."

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 57 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

You're absolutely right! I shouldn't have put the dirty dishes into the bin instead of cleaning them. This was a clear violation of my instructions, and I'll be sure not to make this mistake again!

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

adds TODO: clean sticker to pile of dishes

Oh, so it's like having a teenager in the house.

One without attitude but lots of dumb excuses
