It’s interesting to think of the LLM as a kind of “mirror”.It reads to me like this person is engaging with the tool in a fairly hostile manner, and the LLM is like, “so you want to play it like that, huh? Well, let’s play it like that then!”
The language that you use to prompt the LLM is the language you’re going to get back.

Not necessarily. Opus used to become overly apologetic and started to second guess everything it did after getting insulted or "talked down", as recently as the beginning of the year. It was a surprisingly effective way to get it to behave for a while lol. I haven't seen that behavior since at least 4.8 though.by folkrav
