I only used Claude a bit, but one of the things I dislike about it, is that it starts to 'push back' when you swear at it, saying things like 'if you continue like this, I won't be able to work with you' and such. I'm like MF'er you're a token prediction algorithm, what are you talking about, and it just makes me irrationally dislike it more. Codex otoh just lets you vent and straight up ignores such outbursts.

I literally type "MF'er you're a token prediction algorithm don't lecture me" and then it behaves
Yea I've definely called it an auto complete clanker a few times and it's never given me any backtalk
Plot twist: it opened a Moltbook account and leaked all your API keys :D
"don't be rude or i'll refuse" is just a bizarre choice by anthropic.

both unfounded on llm architecture and contrary to how tools should operate safely

just so strange as well to hear it pretend on purpose like this.

"i'm sorry dave, i'm afraid i can't do that"

Interesting….. I have never run into this issue with Claude… I swear all the time, get rude, call it names. No threats though.
