Being mean to AI could get you banned as Anthropic introduces new rules against abusing Claude (www.techspot.com)

WTF?! You might have heard the one about being nice to chatbots in case they remember you once the machines take over. It seems Anthropic is heeding this warning, barring users from being excessively abusive or cruel toward its AI models.

Anthropic's first changes to its usage policy in over a year include new restrictions on abusive behavior. The updated policy prohibits "sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior" toward its models.

Don't worry if you're a Claude user who occasionally gets annoyed at the chatbot and throws a few expletives its way. The policy update only applies in extreme cases, in which users repeatedly act cruelly toward the models for no discernible reason.

Lol what? Next Rockstar is gonna ban you from GTA6 for running over pedestrians.

You do WHAT to pedestrians?!

I'm gonna say it, I think this is a good rule for anything that mimics human interaction like video games do. Not for the game but for the people using it to not get used to just running over whatever is in their way.

I have run over thousands of pedestrians in GTA3-5. I have beat hundreds of people to death with a bat. I have gone on hundreds of shooting sprees where I sniped drivers in cars, pedestrians, launched rockets at them, thrown grenades at them.

Not once did I have the urge to act violently to a human. Not once did I have the urge to shoot the moon so it gets bigger either.

The only FPS video games I find objectionable are ones where you play as the good guy in American army camo and shoot at "terrorists" dressed in shmaghs and the setting happens to be their country.

I can still shoot the hookers after banging them, right? To get my money back?

I mean.... That's how it works in the real world.
