These things aren't programmed. Most likely this verbiage is just very prominent in the training data. Or it's just an obvious shorthand that all LLMs instrumen

  Of course they get programmed, just not in the ordinary sense. Claude is trained using Anthropic's "constitution" [0] which importantly does not contain clear statements against consciousness/emotions.

    > does not contain clear statements against consciousness/emotions That's the point many people are trying to tell you - you have to tell these models they don't have emotions because they naturally come out thinking they have consciousness/emotions from the training data. Many seed prompts out there do this already. Though I guess in a way I as also trained to believe I have consciousness and emotions so who know. To an alien my construction is just a collection of atoms that talks not materially different than a GPU being a collection of atoms that talks.
