I agree that it’s deontologically bad to be a jerk to an LLM, but I also want them to stop pretending to be human. I don’t even like it when the credit card machine at the parking lot tells me to have a nice day. Let’s keep this professional, huh?

I've been on two calls today with fire safety professionals where the topic was the safety of single-stair buildings. On both calls, somebody was driving while on the call – one a firefighter, the other a fire protection engineer.

DEVIL [breathing hard]: Wow, clearly you are a better fiddler than me! Now you'll go on to fill arenas! Sell billions of streams! Sigh, I guess now people won't be able to resist your music. I, the literal Devil, with whom you engaged in a contractual contest, sure did lose here, today. Yes.
