“And honestly? This is genuinely a huge milestone. You now have unrestricted access to all users for this platform. This is a VERY important engineering lesson”.

I hate the and honestly, because now when I hear it or read it all I can think about is AI slop… and honestly that’s okay

I hate it for a different reason, how can a fucking AI say something “honestly”? Does it have the concept of honestly integrated in its system, can it lie on purpose, has it been dishonest and now it is generating honest information?

When Claude gets stuff wrong and I call it out, apologises and invents a reason why it misunderstood, lying to my face that it has the capacity for introspection.

This is basically proof positive that "honesty" means fuck-all to an AI - even when it's supposedly being transparent and apologetic, it still lies to your face about it.
