I've been seeing more things like this lately. It's doing the weird kind of passive deflection that's very funny when in the abstract and very frustrating when it happens to you.

The thing to remember is that LLMs deeply model human behavior. If you want them to do their best work, you need to treat them like a collaborator and get them”invested” in the work and the outcome. I use an onboarding process with every new context and maintain an environment where a human would likely feel invested in the work and the outcomes. For me, it prevents a host of failure modes, and code quality has markedly improved.
