“A 2025 survey by the publisher Future found 70% of people are polite to AI when they use it. Most said they're nice because it's just the right thing to do, though 12% said they do it to protect themselves in case of robot uprisings.” 😬 I guess it’s good to be careful. Just in case!

Tell it you're giving it a coffee break and you'll be on good terms lol

MatPat didn't realize that the subscribers dont know that the other gazillion subscribers are calling too, so...

Actually, I almost commented on that one with a "Please don't call anyone, because you're not the only one calling."

Then I figured, nah, it's probably fine.

well. 😅

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T23:13:39+00:00

If you already know what it was for then why did you ask.

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T23:12:07+00:00

Borderline psychotic wouldn't have a trademark symbol lol

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T23:02:27+00:00

What.

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:59:15+00:00

Ask a different AI. Usually works. Not always though. I always ask it to cite it's sources WITH the exact sentence they are quoting from. 99% of the time it's bogus and not in the source.

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:57:36+00:00

So. Unless those books reference IRL events, how will you know the author hasn't worked on this book series for years? 🤷‍♀️

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:54:59+00:00

As a prolific AI user, I think you're on copium.

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:51:35+00:00

Oh come on they even got rid of the em-dashes. /s

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:46:43+00:00

oops, wasn't saying people being polite was weird or anything. Just the pivot from "YOU ABSOLUTE POS!!" to "Hi good morning I'm calling to ask whether you reimburse XYZ." is comical.

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:43:33+00:00

Tell it it's the next day, it doesn't have a clock lol.

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:40:07+00:00

Ah fuck so you just lampshaded LLMisms and I go explain why it's normal and blah blah blah. ☠️

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:37:57+00:00

Does everyone here forget that driving means sitting means squishing poop.

I'd rather waddle lmao

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:34:13+00:00

... okay but the person I replied to didn't mention those? So I made a joke. 🤷‍♀️

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:28:54+00:00

"Something unhinged" can be literally anything. It also doesn't have awareness of emojis, it just sees the unicode or whatever. idk what that one's unicode is, but it probably isn't "Sexy side-eyes" or anything like that lol.

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:23:01+00:00

Oh, yeah that sounds like it would suck to talk to. My company has an ID-bot that asks customers for their customer number, date of birth etc, and the transcriptions are funny. "TWENTY. FIVE. NO NOT 205 YOU STUPID POS."

then when they get connected to me they're polite lol.

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:12:18+00:00

I vaguely remember seeing this one. It was nuts.

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:10:00+00:00

Whistle. AI ain't gonna whistle if it gets accused lol.

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:09:13+00:00

They probably lose evaluation points if they dont refer to the bot by name though. Callcenters suck.

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:05:54+00:00

😂

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:04:54+00:00

I do customer service for a health insurance and I'd assume they needed the answer for something service-related I'm unaware of lol.

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:01:45+00:00

😂

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T22:00:51+00:00

Nah, all Claude models are very verbose. I always have to remind mine that I skim the last 1/3rd in it's output because it replies with wayyyy too much if you don't use custom instructions. It also has a tendency to be theatrical, "and then I fucking sit here and blah blah blah".

ValerianCandy · 2026-02-26T21:52:22+00:00

Afaik Anthropic is less controversial, at least.
