We want people to know that they’re interacting with a language model and not a person. But we also want them to know they’re interacting with an imperfect entity with its own biases and with a disposition towards some opinions more than others. Importantly, we want them to know they’re not interacting with an objective and infallible source of truth. This is exactly why I use claude over chatgpt. Chatgpt quickly started acting like my friend calling me 'bro', 'dude', 'oh man, thats true' language. which i liked on first day and became weird later on.

Claude 4 Opus dropped in to this casual mode in my first conversation with it today, after I flattered it. It began starting replies with “oh fuck, that’s wild” and such.

I appreciated it.

Never did that to me. Maybe it's a "you" problem.

It's a "dude" problem.
Chatgpt has never called me bro (nor have I ever called it bro or used the word bro in any chats) Maybe you can clear your cache or something.
