WTF?! You might have heard the one about being nice to chatbots in case they remember you once the machines take over. It seems Anthropic is heeding this warning, barring users from being excessively abusive or cruel toward its AI models.

Anthropic’s first changes to its usage policy in over a year include new restrictions on abusive behavior. The updated policy prohibits “sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior” toward its models.

Don’t worry if you’re a Claude user who occasionally gets annoyed at the chatbot and throws a few expletives its way. The policy update only applies in extreme cases, in which users repeatedly act cruelly toward the models for no discernible reason.

    Claude is not a person. It is a toaster. Claude does not have feelings.

    Also Claude gets no credit when it does a thing. Credit goes to the one writing the prompt, and all the resources Claude used to create the output.

    When a seamstress assembles a dress, Singer doesn’t get credit.

      It has nothing to do with feelings. Talking in a very hostile way is a strategy to get the model to go around it’s set rules, and that’s what they are trying to prevent. Yes it’s ridiculous, but it had nothing to do with caring about the model.
