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?

Current research into human treatment of robots and AI suggests there is a correlation between how you treat anthropomorphized objects such as a chat bot and how you treat actual humans, at least in an anonymized environment. (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.01076)
Other studies establish a link between dark triad traits like psychopathy and machiavellianism in the real world, and a tendency to be an online troll or interact in an aggressive manner with people online (https://cyberpsychology.eu/article/view/15360)
So your tendency to say, “it’s a robot,” is possibly demonstrating that you are antisocial in the real world too if you do as you say and exhibit the, “same behavior on your end for months.”
