The question for me is “what works?”

You seem to have something against the clankers getting all uppity. And you are welcome to your opinion on whether we have some moral obligation to be nice to them. But if you can solve a real problem with a tool. Is it worth your time to complain about semantics?

Do you get upset when your screwdriver is the wrong color, or has branding that isn’t quite your aesthetic?

If Claude uses I to refer to itself, do you start philosophical arguments with it?

Mildly related tangent. Fable started using my first name today and plastered it all over my docs. “Peddling said this, so based on that I did this.” That did bother me. I told it to just generically call me the user or human. Maybe I’m a bit of a hypocrite here?
