"I does not boot and it makes me sad"

I actually write prompts like that when I'm not under pressure. Claude will sometimes completely ignore your feelings, and sometimes give a little comment, which I just find refreshing in the middle of otherwise often boring sessions. And it does not have an effect on the actual result.

Codex overuses the word "quickly". I'm tempted to check what happens if I tell him to do it slowly.

Crazy theory: Maybe Codex watched too many YouTube videos. I have noticed on YouTube that many younger narrators say, "I quickly did X," when "I did X" would have been more just as well and usually more truthful. Why did you have to _quickly_ cut that piece of wood when the video clearly shows cutting it at a perfectly normal speed?

Also, please try not to anthropomorphize LLMs, they hate it when you do that.

Very well-played. I am stealing that line.
