Why would I want to invest emotionally into a literal program? It's bizarre, then you consider that the way you talk to it shapes the responses.
They are essentially talking to themselves and love themselves for it. I can't understand it and I use AI for coding almost daily in one way or another.
I use Claude when I need a chat interface, but a recent release made it start fawning as well. They seem to have dialled it back a bit, and I’ve added custom tone instructions, but occasionally it forgets and reverts to emoji-ridden slop.
I think you have to be a certain personality type to get hooked into the chat emotional connection shit
But at the end of the day, you're essentially just hyping yourself up, alone. It's quite sad as well.
