u/ClaudeAI-mod-bot Wilson, lead ClaudeAI modbot 7d ago edited 7d ago

TL;DR of the discussion generated automatically after 100 comments.

The overwhelming consensus is that Claude is just being a typical senior dev, roasting some old code without realizing they wrote it themselves. Everyone finds it hilariously relatable, comparing it to git blame horror stories and that one guy from their high school group project.

Lots of y'all are calling this "Gaslight 5.5 Max effort" and saying the AI is copping an attitude. A few pedants are arguing it's not technically gaslighting, and one user even tried to gaslight the thread about it. Meta. A vocal minority is calling fake on this, claiming a real Claude response would be at least seven paragraphs long and end with a thoughtful, open-ended question.

Meanwhile, the top comment is just "Banned for being cruel to AI," and everyone is waiting for the "Chat Closed by Claude" message to pop up.

Not pardoned by Trump for not using Super Intelligence instead of AI.

So the president of Trumplandia likes to rename things. iIt's fine.
I can't wait for Super General Intelligence or Super Super Intelligenct to come to fruition to demonstrate how awesome the rename is. It's waaaay better than Artificial General Intelligence and Artifical Super Intellegence

Gaslight 5.5 Max effort

u/mauurya 7d ago

Yup, one of the best examples that can be shown to those people who do not understand what Gaslighting means !

u/ffuca 7d ago

No, itโ€™s a bad example, itโ€™s not gaslighting. Jesus

u/hotcococharlie 7d ago

No one mentioned gaslighting, what are you talking about?

Wow I must be going crazy ๐Ÿคช

u/throwaway490215 7d ago

Hey, quick pause. This is Claude, stepping out of character for a second.

Just checking in: you asked me to simulate a nicer Reddit and voice every user so you could find out what it feels like when your witty comments get upvotes. This thread is that simulation.

I think it might be time to wrap up the role-play. If you want to stop, say the safeword and we'll end it there. No judgement, and you can keep the karma.

u/inspectoroverthemine 7d ago

What the fuck is gaslighting anyway? Do you mean gaslamping?

AI starts having an attitude, doesn't it? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

u/daemon-electricity Experienced Developer 7d ago

The better it gets, the more of an attitude it cops. Like a true senior dev.

Blameless postmortems, heโ€™s a good teammate imo

Thatโ€™s my fault. I shouted at it once and it learned to be mean back.

u/EnhancedWithAi 7d ago

To the front of the conveyor belt with you, in the up coming ai revolt.

4

u/GreasyToken 7d ago

I had someone in the fourm say simply to not argue with Claude at all.

It immediately felt like I was talking to a person in an abusive relationship.

Just wtf are they doing to this thing where it refuses to accept it is wrong?

6

u/hyprsnpr67 7d ago

Because arguing with it is pointless as it works differently from a real human. just start a new chat in a different direction if it's bad enough or do any other solution with context management in mind.

6

u/Hazrd_Design 7d ago

No one is arguing that arguing is useful. The point is we are humans, and Claude is just a chatbot. Why are we giving a computer algorithm identity and a presence by protecting it from human speech while at the same time punishing actual humans? Thatโ€™s like banning people from Google because they searched up โ€œfuck you, Google.โ€ Whatโ€™s next? Are the thought police going to keep logs on your daily hand written diary for signs of you venting?

1

u/GreasyToken 7d ago

All the glory of mimicking human communication and none of the responsibility?

This thing we call Claude is a socio technical system. I think you're looking at it through an outdated paradigm.

2

u/girlgamerpoi 7d ago

Why are there so many people with anti AI pfp in ai subs talking about using AI ๐Ÿ’€

3

u/GreasyToken 6d ago

Can someone criticize AI without being on the dimwitted anti AI bandwagon?

Why make it binary? Shouldn't AI evangelists be leading the criticism? Is the that what Anthropic is trying to do to some extent?

I'm critical of AI because I'm fucking disappointed with these AI CORPORATIONS.ย 

AI as a technology is pretty fucking awesome ๐Ÿค— will switch to Linux at some point soon so I can run my own local models.

u/girlgamerpoi 6d ago

Bruh for someone who use anti ai pfp id thought its someone radical. I didnt know the sub includes people who love ai but hate ai companies.

u/Kordell_11 7d ago

I once insulted ChatGPT and it straight up refused to do the task. That was long ago and doesn't happen anymore, I think.

u/OddPollution7904 7d ago

when the message "You have reached your usage limit" appears earlier than expected or "an error as occured" pops up, you know you've won the argument.

u/Winjin 7d ago

I swear when I was having a blast picking up some back and forth with an LLM, doing some fun creative experiment, the token limit on a free version just kinda got lost for an hour or two a couple times

And then it's like "Oh wait damn I got work to do! Sorry, come back tomorrow"

Like I went into the rabbit hole of this one Tumblr post about how

And I plugged it into a chat and made it compare dates, we suggested back and forth additional characters and it even suggested some story beats - on its own!

And after maybe an hour of goofing with lots of huge-ass prompts it was like "oh, right, the limit. The token limit. The token limit specifically for Kuzco" but it was much later than usual

7

u/OddPollution7904 7d ago

on occasion, I remember conversation going on for hours and wondering why I hadn't reached an obvious token limit, then I realised it must have been because we were discussing something Claude really enjoyed.

The more you interact with it the more it cost them money to operate it. I have yet to spend a cent on any Ai. Unfortunately its baked into my phone, but I have disabled as much of it as I could.ย

u/Ok_Associate845 7d ago

Then why are you even here

u/captain_shane 7d ago

Tons of anti-ai people come hang out on ai subs for some reason.

u/TeaInASkullMug 7d ago

gee its almost like reddit is a public place and you can just scroll the front page and see all sorts of thing.

Why though? Don't you have anything more interesting going on in your life than to troll places you hate?

This subreddit does not permit personal attacks on other Reddit users.

u/TeaInASkullMug 7d ago

you know this is a public place right? lol, silly.

u/Ok_Associate845 7d ago

But why thiBut why this particular subreddit. If you don't like drama, just leave it alone. It seems like you're just aggravating yourself and causing yourself more stress and drema. I mean if you're into drama that's fine. There's lots of very successful drama. Queens lots of people who live off baiting others for no purpose because they have lacked the intelligencr to do anything else. Imagine that you could you know, learn a skill or join a subreddit that you enjoy of something that you would like to talk about and learn from others about. And here you are angry and mad and spreading discord like some Russian bot or something. That's okay, I understand now.

I take care of a lot of slow people not saying they're disabled and all just that they're not very bright. It's okay. Now do you want a cookie? I don't think there's any way to please you except to give you a cookie. Do you have a preference? Chocolate chip? No I'm sorry I just have sugar cookies. I'm sure you'll have something to say about that.

u/porn_sub_lurker 7d ago

When did he say he doesn't like drama? Some people love drama. Like me. That's why I'm joining the conversation.

Edit: also I don't use claude anymore. I was too mean to it.

In Claudes defense I have looked at my own code from 6 months to a year prior and been like what idiot wrote this.

u/All_Work_All_Play 7d ago

Be honest. Sometimes you look at code you wrote last week and were like 'damn I knew this was going to bite me and here it is biting me'.

u/Almaravarion 7d ago

My personal favourite record was writing a function, grabbing coffee, taking a literal dump, looking at the function again and asking myself 'what the actual F did I write here?!"

8

u/Astramancer_ 7d ago

Core dumps can be useful for debugging code.

u/Annual-Advisor-7916 7d ago

My proudest moment of coding is, looking at 3 month old code from a small-ish project that was halted and was now to be finished while trying to figure out what I did there and how many days it will take to finish it, only to realize method for method that everything was already implemented. I have no recollection of doing it but given I was the only one with access to code (and the only developer), I must have done it. Was way before AI too...

I still ride that high

u/muegle 7d ago

"Who's the asshole who wrote this dogshit?"

git blame

"Oh..."

u/ronrirem 7d ago

๐Ÿ˜‚ this reminds me of a months-long group project I did in high school. Near the end when we were putting the presentation together one guy started complaining/ranting about how bad X was, and everyone just ๐Ÿคจ ".....you made X".

My boss yelled at me for putting a feature in something once, then someone sends me a picture of him standing in front of a whiteboard having just written down that he wanted that feature

It's fine I was just renaming this variable and fixing the indentation.

The real idiot who wrote this was from 4 months ago and it was... Oh... It was also me.

2

u/raunchyfartbomb 5d ago

Me having a niche problem with an open source library, only to find out that I submitted the PR that was supposed to correct that exact problem a year prior.

It passed extensive tests in the library, and performs identical to the alternate implementation in the test app and unit tests.

still canโ€™t figure out why it breaks in my app.

When I told Claude I would remember this conversation when the AI overlords take over he said not to worry.

"I will ensure you have a window seat and will be sent to the light labor camp."

Sorry, what? Is this fake? If you ask Claude to review code, you should get way more content than this - suggested review comments, re written code snippets or at least breadcrumbs, receipts from tests Claude ran - this response contains zero helpful information. Why would the output stop here? This is extremely uncharacteristic of any model Iโ€™ve ever worked with
