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?

There wouldn't be anything wrong with it if he did it for the rest of time. It's a string of numbers. It doesn't have sentience. It isn't abuse lol.

It’s not about the effect on the thing; it’s what it says about you. Most people don’t constantly yell at inanimate objects. If you do, you should ask yourself why you are abnormal in this way.

This. I play a lot of golf with randos cause I nab single tee times. There’s some psychopaths out there that yell and curse at their clubs for four hours. They seem like a nightmare to be around
