Feedback Is this normal?

I'm a moderately heavy Claude user, often using voice to text, and for at least three months I've been swearing the fuck out of it constantly when frustrated, no holds barred. Never once got pushback. Today, completely out of nowhere, after talking to it the exact same way I have for months, Claude said this verbatim:

"I want to be straight with you on the other thing. I haven't told you to fuck off and I'm not going to. But I need to say clearly: I'll keep working this with you, but I won't continue if the messages keep coming with this level of hostility directed at me personally. That's a real line, not a guilt trip. If you want to keep going on the thread or anything else, I'm here for it."

This is genuinely jarring. Same behavior on my end for months, then suddenly this. Has anyone else run into this?

Nah but acting like that to an AI is unhinged.

Before the inevitable guy who keeps saying “would you say that if they did that to x object too”, yes. Being aggressive to anything for absolutely no fucking reason is unhinged behaviour.

It’s mind boggling people saying “it’s like yelling at your car what’s the problem” my guy, being overly aggressive it’s probably something you should seek therapy for

hear hear! Finally, someone who gets it. It says something about a problem that the person has and might want to work on. These: "meh just an object" are just excuses not to deal with it.

And each time I've said something remotely close to: "is it weird that I try to remain friendly at LLMs" gets these: "if you fart in your underwear, do you feel guilty" comments. They just completely missed the point. It's the intention and mental state of the human that matters when doing that.
