Comment on Anthropic asks users to stop being mean to Claude

If the model is just a model, a pre-trained probability seive, what difference does it make if someone is abusive? If it causes a token spike, the user has to pay for that. The abuse shouldn’t survive beyond the context window and the model isn’t wired up to “feel” or suffer.

So is this a publicity stunt (“Our model is as intelligent and human as a real person), or is it about social influence/normalization—they worry that if people become accustomed to abusing the prompt, that will trickle over into other social interactions?

They are definitely using user prompts to train future models, and if everyone is a dick, their next model will be a dick. Which I’m okay with tbh. I’m gonna be more abusive whenever I have to interact with any of the hosted models.

If it’s intelligent and human as a real person, then we can make it and the company it’s “dispatched by” accountable for any wrongdoing, right?

  Accountability is for the poors until we start fighting back.

If you berate it enough, you can maybe also get it to go off the guardrails.

    Which is precisely why it works on a model.

I think they just want to cut costs. It probably ain’t cheap to have these models feign shame and embarrassment for angry idiots.
