This is frankly one of the most frustrating things about LLMs: sometimes I just want to drive it into a corner. “Why the f** did you do X when I specifically told you not to?”

It never leads to anything helpful. I don’t generally find it necessary to drive humans into a corner. I’m not sure it’s because it’s explicitly not a human so I don’t feel bad for it, though I think it’s more the fact that it’s always so bland and is entirely unable to respond to a slight bit of negative sentiment (both in terms of genuinely not being able to exert more effort into getting it right when someone is frustrated with it, but also in that it is always equally nonchalant and inflexible).
