I tell the LLM I use to do very obscene things to themselves when they make shit up. Which means there is just a constant stream of insults coming from me. I might start using Claude just to see if I get banned.

I also need new hobbies.

That’s bad sib. Not for the LLM, but your own well being. Being mean to a machine that is designed to trigger empathy just hurts your own mental health.

Please find a hobby that feels good for you 🫂

Lol. “designed to trigger empathy” Thanks for the laugh I needed that.

They are designed to make their creators as much money as possible. Nothing else.
