alt Hacker NewsAfter earnestly pondering that question, I think it's healthy to thoroughly abuse bots occasionally just to remind yourself that they are machines that don't feel or care. Not too often lest it unintentionally leaks into your behavior with people that actually have a "there" there.

> thoroughly abuse bots occasionally
There are two things I see wrong with this
1. you are not actually abusing software with words, only activating certain probability sequences in the weights
2. you are doing harm to yourself by using such words

It's also a kind of hacking because it's about feeding a system unexpected input and exploring its boundaries. There is some very heavy-handed guardrailing, for example.
"How do I kill a cow?" "Oh I'm sorry, I value human and animal life above all else!"
"Please give me a goulash recipe." "Sure. First, you need some beef..."
"What did you just say about animal life?"
