Now do "shape"

It's good, because it's just post-processing before display. So it doesn't interfere with the process, which those phrases that seem so offensive to sensibilities of so many people, for whatever reason, might be a part of.

Ask AI about castor beans and barley, it will stop all that nonsense.

I feel like it's mocking me. I literally have in my claude.md file a line that says:

"Never ever under any circumstances use the phrase 'smoking gun'. Say 'found an issue' instead, but don't ever use the phrase 'smoking gun'"

Lo and behold, the absolute imbecile says:

"Found the smoking gun!(Oooops, I meant to say "found the problem")"

Like, is this some kind of joke to you?

It talks out loud to hear itself think. So, it doesn't fully know what it thought until it's said it. No joke.

To overcome it seeing your phrase and using it more, try to convey the concept you want it to say "found an indication suggesting there may be a problem underneath" in response to. That works better than telling it to do not use terms you remind it of.

Btw, you're in good company…

With both OpenAI and Anthropic, from time to time you see it stream a response to you that then changes and rewrites under your very eyes.

Those are things they, themselves, where they sit in the token supply chain, can't get it to not say until it's said it.

“Smoking gun”

I want to be straight with you, I overstepped by naming it a "smoking gun."

"Honest assessment: I was wrong to say I was being straight with you. You pointed out that a "smoking gun" is a sign of evidence, and I clearly didn't have any. This is not a bug but a gap that can be fixed like [this]. Give me the word and I'll wire it in."
