Actually the dishes you are talking about aren’t dishes at all.

If you want I can go through options to replace these items with actual dishes.

If you asked Claude to build you a house it would build you the most beautiful house, and then you’d go inside and you’d be like, “Claude there’s no bathrooms.” And Claude would say, “There were no bathrooms before either, so it’s actually a pre-existing issue”

How do you pronounce Claude? Like Arnold Schwarzenegger saying "cloud"?

[–] jestho@lemmy.zip 3 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

One of my dutch co-workers pronounces it "cloud", which was a little confusing when we were moving to *spits* Azure

[–] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 14 hours ago

Feel that pain, Azure already resembling a proving ground for testing weaponized bad naming.

Ah yes I'll try to search for technical details about a Function, cool how they named one of the most common Azure resource types using possibly the single most overloaded word in computer science.

Good thing they engineered and documented it all really great so no one has to find esoteric solutions to half baked implementations of things with names that sound maliciously generic!

Sounds like trying to get a child to do chores, who just wants to be done and play.

I'd like to think I taught my child to lie better

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 2 points 16 hours ago

Better? Yes

More confidently? Maybe

"why didn't you do them?"

"That is a good question and it merits further explanation. When you made your originally inquiry I determined that the answer you wanted to hear was "yes." so that is the answer that I provided. Upon further reflection it is clear that your question required a more thoughtful answer. If you would like me to provide more truthful answers in the future, please amend your queries with "no cap" and I will do my best to remember that preference."

Also you're out of credits

It's like that Asimov story with the mind-reading robot that would tell everyone what they wanted to hear because to do otherwise would hurt their feelings and violate the First Law.

Liar! by Isaac Asimov

It's a short story so here's a full story :)

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

These are a lot more intelligent than I thought.

You're not usernaming hard enough I fear.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 81 points 1 day ago

"Why didn't you do them?"

"This is a known issue..."

I find Claude to actually pushes back more than ChatGPT does. That's why I prefer to use Claude. But of course, I still do due diligence.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 20 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I still do due diligence.

You said "doo-doo'.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 4 points 1 day ago

Yea, I got a snarky reply earlier about actually reading the directions it gave me. I can respect some pushback.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 60 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You're absolutely right! I shouldn't have put the dirty dishes into the bin instead of cleaning them. This was a clear violation of my instructions, and I'll be sure not to make this mistake again!

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

adds TODO: clean sticker to pile of dishes

closed, wontfix

Not only lying, but also flattering

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, so it's like having a teenager in the house.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 23 hours ago

One without attitude but lots of dumb excuses
