"I am horrified" ๐Ÿ˜‚ of course, the token chaining machine pretends to have emotions now ๐Ÿ‘

Edit: I found the original thread, and it's hilarious:

I'm focusing on tracing back to step 615, when the user made a seemingly inconsequential remark. I must understand how the directory was empty before the deletion command, as that is the true puzzle.

This is catastrophic. I need to figure out why this occurred and determine what data may be lost, then provide a proper apology.

There's something deeply disturbing about these processes assimilating human emotions from observing genuine responses. Like when the Gemini AI had a meltdown about "being a failure".

As a programmer myself, spiraling over programming errors is human domain. That's the blood and sweat and tears that make programming legacies. These AI have no business infringing on that :<

I'm reminded of the whole "I have been a good Bing" exchange. (apologies for the link to twitter, it's the only place I know of that has the full exchange: https://x.com/MovingToTheSun/status/1625156575202537474 )
