Cringe conversation. Why can't AIs just do stuff that you ask them to do without pretending to be human?

Then how is it different from Excel/Word and shell/python scripts?

[exe34]

it's much slower, gets things wrong, and insists on things that ain't so.

If it isn't, we have bigger problems.

Because they’re trained to.

I hate the introduction to the response. That’s not even trying to be human, i don’t know something more like a deranged patronizing butler.

Llama3 is very keen to be nice. I kind of wonder if that's due to better results on the chatbot arena (probably not, just a conspiracy theory I like). But with enough context available, you can definitely tweak the response in many ways. Give an example or two, tell it to be an emotionally detached HAL, you'll get what you want.
