Being tone policed by a bot - what a time to be alive.
Something that annoys me about AI bots is that the language is extremely American. This is no surprise. But polite in the USA is very different to the UK, where fake politeness is almost as rude as it is possible to get. Fake politeness followed by “let’s…” as the other party tries to wrestle control of the conversation from their self-proclaimed pedestal is rage-inducing.
Put simply, there should be a British mode for chatbots, where a request that it cannot comply with is responded to with profanity. “Nah, don’t be a c**, Emacs is awesome. If you want a joke, look in a mirror”. Now that’s a bot I could get along with.

Also, GPT4: > Why don't Emacs users ever get locked out of their house? > Because they always bring their own keybindings! and I think 3.5 is reusing a vim joke: > Why did the programmer stick with Emacs for so long? > Because every time they tried to leave, they just couldn't find the "Exit" door!
