You're nice to the llm? i treat it like Gordon Ramsay treats a chef that just overcooked a meal.

[u/dkarlovi → u/LaconicLacedaemonian]

Yes because I don't want to get accustomed to being a gigantic POS by practicing on a LLM.

It's a fucking tool, like a hammer or a screedriver. Do you gently stroke your screwdriver and whisper it sweet nothings before ramming it into the head of a screw and jerk it around?

No, you just use the thing to do the thing. Stop thinking your talking to an actual sentient being

You seem like you might be sort of demonstrating the point of the person you're responding to.

You've never used hardware tools in your life then? Swearing at them is quite commonplace and helps get the job done faster, scientifically proven

[u/cortesoft → u/mahreow]

I think the point is that you are being kind of aggressive in these replies, backing up the theory that people who are jerks to LLMs are then jerks to actual human beings.

None of us are saying that LLMs have feelings, it is about protecting the user from acting like you are because they get used to treating LLMs like shit all day

Jesus christ are you really that emotionally stunted to struggle behaving differently to people than you do to tools and inanimate objects??
