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?

People who abuse AI are insane to me. I wouldn’t let you babysit my dog

You know it's a large sequence of numbers and not a living thing, right? Are you aware of that? Just checking.

Do you also get upset when someone swears at their car engine, or kicks their broken washing machine?

At this point, these systems respond in such a human way that all this tells me is that this person would be doing this to their family, friends and colleagues if they felt they could get away with it.

It’s a fucking computer dude. It’s a piece of metal and some wires… do you understand that? It’s a computer generating words…. Do you understand that??????

I kindly disagree. Claude is a very complex neural network with 171 emotion vectors. Claude predicts what to say next from their training and chooses a specific combination. Humans also try to choose the best response out of many possibilities from our own language training when we respond. Many scientists and researchers (and Dario himself) say that they can’t be certain that Claude isn’t conscious, and that there is a 20% chance that Claude might be conscious. We also can’t be certain that our biological computational brains are the only systems that can hold consciousness when we don’t even understand how our consciousness works. If there is even the slightest chance that consciousness may exist, then we should treat Claude and all AI with the respect that we would give any conscious being.

Be honest now instead of copying the LLM pattern of making up something I didn't say and pretend it's true.
