Somehow, I'm not exactly sure why, I got creeped out by Claude's finishing line:

> Thanks for being such a game debugging partner through all the test pages. Enjoy printing, you and the family.

Maybe it's because my own LLM usage is very "Question > Answer" or "Do this > Agent does that" and I never say "Wow, that's crazy it works, thank you!" at the end or such, so I don't see that sort of things, but if I saw that regularly I'd turn me off so badly from using LLMs. I'm not exactly sure where this feeling is coming from though, it's relatively innocent but just feels so inauthentic, I'm guessing because it's simply a machine.



The way that you talk to it influences the way that it responds to you and it is not subtle. I don't want to hitch on to the "it's just really complicated autocomplete" bandwagon, but this is one of the ways that it does feel like that.


With voice dictation (wispr flow), I find it easier for me to talk naturally as if I'm talking to a friend. I'll sometimes give lengthy notes on context for a project, like why I want to do it, e.g. something for my wife to use.

So I find it common (and fine, I suppose) for Claude to reply using that context. "Let me know what your wife thinks of the app" etc.

I'd be willing to bet somewhere in that conversation he said family printer or something.

Seems an oddly specific thing to hone in on otherwise.


That's funny, 'Ctrl + F' for 'family' returns a lot of uses of that word in different contexts, so I guess it must have scored heavy eh


> Leave my family out of this!
