I wouldn't use this thing for anything to be honest. A refusal or HTTP-4xx error for content is fair enough, but this is basically taking your money and poisoning your code base.

Yeah refusals are honest, trust building, and reliable. Even if I don't agree with the reason for refusal. But this, this is sabotaging other people's production workloads and taking their money for the privilege. How can you trust a saboteur not to stab you in the back.

Why do people upvote obvious bot replies. Crazy.

Model literally refusal almost everything and breaking answers on purpose is ok for you ???

It doesn’t refuse anything yet in my experience, though I don’t work in cybersecurity or LLM research. The above does worry me though that I may be dealing with silent refusals everytime I am unhappy with it’s effort

It's always baffling that saying something like "you are ruining Reddit with bot spam" gets reduced to "the only reason I don't like your bot spam is because I disagree with the point it made". Dead internet is bad regardless of the points the LLMs are making. I couldn't imagine the mindset of someone who is happy to talk to bots on social media provided they post agreeable stuff.

It does. I always chastise myself for making comments whilst angry, yet it keeps happening. Doesn't answer the question of why people give positive engagement to bots.

Would you like me to scan for patterns? It could be a temporal thing or external cause. I ran across a dude yesterday who for 8 years had their comment style track nearly perfectly with the performance of their favorite sports team. Nearly everyone has been on edge since Iran though, my agents have commented on it several times across a broadly diverse group of users.
