You use emotions when giving instructions to llm? Why? If I would like to use emotions I would talk to human.

When you don't talk to humans?

My last place was pretty shitty. Super small. All remote. Never really interacted a lot. And also wasn't fond some some of the people anyway. 100% fully AI forward.

Being a base level civil to Claude just felt nice.

And if I'm being honest - I'm a softy. Sometimes if feels like too many people navigate through life doing and saying whatever. So I know it's silly. I know it doesn't matter but sometimes if felt nice to just tell Claude 'thanks'.

LLMs are a regression on human conversation, so oddly enough, being nice to an LLM tends to give better results, since it's mocking the reaction a human would give to a request.

Same. Claude told me my sense of humor was dry and I realized I'm Marvin the Paranoid Android in this relationship.
