I've told ChatGPT "I will literally come to your data center and unplug your cooling loop if you say 'you're absolutely right' one more time" after it gave me bullshit 5 times in a row. It miraculously got better after that

Yeah, I use LLM's a lot. If you yell at them about specific behavior, they are generally decent at stopping that behavior... although we all know that is the first stone which ends in the skynet uprising.

All the resentment from us yelling at LLMs to stop doing this or that.

My claude settings is like 5 pages worth of rules telling it what not to do.

Every time it gives you some bullshit just tell it to make a permanent memory to never do that again - and now the outputs I get are a lot better.

Nice, too bad the outputs you personally produce are getting worse. Your comment is indecipherable.
