It also gets really down on itself, which is pretty funny (and a little scary). Aside from the number of people who've posted online about it wanting to uninstall itself after being filled with shame, I had it get confused on some Node module resolution stuff yesterday and it told me it was deeply sorry for wasting my time and that I didn't deserve to have such a useless assistant.

Out of curiosity, I told it that I was proud of it for trying and it had a burst of energy again and tried a few more (failing) solution, before going back to it's shameful state.

Then I just took care of the issue myself.



After a particular successful Claude Code task I praised it and told it to "let's fucking go!" to which it replied that loved the energy and proceeded to only output energetic caps lock with fire emojis. I know it's all smoke and mirrors (most likely), but I still get a chuckle out of this stuff.


This really cracked me up, indeed mostly funny and maybe slightly scary or at least off-putting that it's so human-like.
