Holy moly you people are insufferable. If your search machine behaves too human and creates a societal issue where people who 'abuse' it then start abusing their colleagues in a similar manner, that's on you for making your machine too human not on people for messing with the machine.

You people? What do you mean, you people?

I read it to mean, the type of person who begins a comment with:

> If only matters of interest were limited to the things you could "absolutely fathom" how much simpler our lives would all be.

Immediately proceeds to label the parent comment as "snide" and then feigns misguided ignorance when met with exasperation.

I'm not xyzsparetimexyz though. Merely a person amused by the rapid devolution of communication from those trying to take the sanctimonious high ground on how sacred all forms of written speech should be, directed to machine or otherwise...

If endorsing the right of a private company to not pay the cost of replying to degenerate rage counts as sanctimony I'm happy to be labeled as such.

The feeling of amusement is mutual. Have a good day.

I said nothing about Anthropic's right to run their company how they choose. Nor, frankly, did you. Your comments directed at myself and the parent are simply made in bad faith. The snark and sanctimony drips from virtually every sentence you wrote, but "Perhaps you need to stretch that which you surely take to be your vast imagination." is certainly one obvious example of many.

If you can't acknowledge the irony of a thread about civil communication between human and machine involving statements such as yours, between human and human, all the more from one such as yourself seemingly trying to take the moral high ground, well, I'm not sure what more to say. I suppose it's best to be mutually amused, and go about our good days.
