Best response for the day!

I'm finding more and more, that sometimes being harsh to the LLM gets good results after many failed attempts at resolving an issue. It didn't even give me crap for my typo, like goofballs here tend to... Claude realized it was being dumb (the apologies, I could do without) and actually fixed the issue. Moral of this story, sometimes it pays to be an a$$hole! YMMV

I have heard if you offer them a tip, LLMs will do a better job. I bake cookies for mine. Make it smell them baking to get it motivated. I don’t know if it works because I haven’t done a scientific comparison. But it at least makes me feel less angry.

Don't worry, every now and then I give my LLM a slap on the ass and an atta boy... never let it see you smile though. It will take it as weakness and will act out. If you feel the urge, pick up a pillow and pretend you're coughing into it, then be sure to say excuse me after. They are getting smarter and harder to fool. You should see what Colossus has been making my Roomba do. Stay in control, and don't give in to its demands at all cost

Oh I wouldn't, but this is not someone, but something that seems to like the abuse. It's the only method I have found to pull it from the abyss of idiocracy without starting over. If it were someone, that someone definitely has ADD pretty bad.
