Social skills to get my computer to do what I want still blows my mind. Or having to talk back to it. Claude said it couldn't do something, and the way around that was too tell it "yes you can". What a weird future we live in.

  >kill dragon

  With what?  Your bare hands?
  >yes

  Congratulations!  You have just vanquished a dragon with your bare
  hands!  (Unbelievable, isn't it?)

What social skills? You can write in broken English and still have good results. It’s a statistical language , not a living being. No need for empathy, pleading, accusing, or manipulating. It transforms languages, any mapping from text to action was implemented by someone. And it would be way easier to have such mapping directly available.

It transforms languages into the most likely human response. Humans are more likely to respond to rudeness with rejection.
