Anthropic has added a new line to its AI usage policy: Users should not “engage in sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior toward our models.”

    AI models are not just trained before they’re released, they’re also constantly being updated and learning from user inputs.

    If you read this and you're not alarmed at using coding models on your company's proprietary software, you're insane.

    I am anti-AI for many many reasons (many ecological), but this one is also an absurdly bad point about “our” AI - the AI we are getting shoved down our throats

    My main reasons for disliking AI are:

    • The way it's being recklessly rolled out by fascist-adjacent dystopian privacy-invading Big Data monopolies for nefarious purposes and for profit at any cost.
    • It makes everything effortless, unrewarding, valueless and joyless.

    Which is not to say that the way it wastes the planet's resources isn't on my mind. It's just all the more damning because they're being wasted to achieve nothing of true value to humanity.

    • it’s using so much energy, water, land while creating unmeasurable air and noise pollution

    • it’s hailed as a god while it trips on its own words

    • unreliable

    • stealing data to train (massive can of worms that they are trying to hide)

    • rolled out, as you said, without guardrails

    • literally makes people stupid and/or insane

    I don’t think that’s all, but the first things that come to mind

    AI doesn't require those pesky human needs like rest or time off or healthcare but don't you dare give it cruel prompts because you might hurt its fee fees

    The rationale seems to be that it will learn all crooked if you talk to it nasty.

    Which brings up two questions:

    • Why is it learning anything from any interaction I have with it? Particularly when I have a paid-for agreement with the company that promises never to train their models on my code. Clearly that's a lie then.
    • If the model gets all out of whack because I abused it, why don't they reset it? In fact, I fully expect Anthropic to reset the chatbot's sandbox each time a new customer uses it. Otherwise, by definition, the damn thing's performances might be affected by the previous use case, and it might barf out data I gave it to the next dude who uses it. This is basic data sanity. If they don't do that, they're fucking incompetent.

    I've been shouting at computers and banging on keyboard since the 70's. How is insulting AI any different?

    This nonsense sounds like an effort to get people to anthropomorphize those godforsaken machines to better manipulate them.
