Anthropic asks users to stop being mean to Claude

Explain Like I'm Normal

Anthropic has reportedly updated its guidelines or issued statements urging users to refrain from verbally abusing their AI, Claude. While the model doesn't have feelings, the company argues that fostering abusive interactions can degrade model performance and lead to unwanted behavioral biases. This move has sparked a debate on whether we are anthropomorphizing code or just practicing 'prompt hygiene'.
