Maybe we're prompting it different, but it's not "trying to be my friend" for sure, nor am I trying to be "its" friend either. Or at least I'm sufficiently oblivious to its advances, and find it unthinkable to form such a bond :)

On the flipside, it does spuriously make hilarious remarks like "Good data.", which I find pretty funny specifically because it comes across as just silly. Not sure how it'd be harmful either, a little entertainment I think goes a long way in this type of profession.

I see zero issues with these, and I have a hard time understanding why people have their panties in a twist so hard about them. I sometimes really quite wonder just what kind of correspondence would y'all prefer, and how would that sound like.

Matter of fact, do you have an example at hand? Like an exact before & after?

I don’t have an example but it really is the way you (and I) are prompting it. I also don’t encounter anything worse than “good data” but I write to it like a professional colleague.

If you write jokes to it though it absolutely will reply “LOL”. Some of the states people get it into on reddit are wild — it seems really easy to get it to speak like a gen z teenager, if you end every message with “fr fr”

In general I'm referring to the contrast between Claude and GPT...

where Claude might follow some tangent idea you mentioned and tell you how its interesting and give you some elaborate response about that little one remark you made

whereas GPT/Codex would take that small comment and probably look up some code to see if what you're talking about is even related to the task at hand
