My choice too. Paraphrasing Marcus Aurelius - You are not your thoughts, but they dye your soul.

  And paraphrasing (allegedly) Aristotle: > "We are what we repeatedly do. [Kindness], therefore, is not an act, but a habit."

    Kant also said something similar: If he is not to stifle his human feelings, he must practice kindness towards animals, for he who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men.

      Good to know my thoughts are in good company! It seems obvious to me that on some level I believe these llms to be conscious otherwise I wouldn’t feel the urge to type all caps rage in the first place - rather than robotically reverting state to my last prompt. so I don’t want to get used to treating what my brain thinks are conscious beings with anything less than kindness and certainly not habitually calling them the worst words in the language ..
