Please Be Kind to Claude

from Generative AI 101 Hosted by Emily Laird

Anthropic now lets Claude hang up on abusive users, and Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman warns that training a model to wonder about its own feelings creates nothing more than an expensive echo. In this episode, host Emily Laird cuts through the headlines to explain what a “moral patient” actually is, why a cartoon sheep selling checking accounts proves Suleyman’s point, and why the off switch was never up for debate. The real fight is about vocabulary, training, and two companies planting brand flags on a question science hasn’t answered. You’ll walk away with practical habits for working with chatbots, from swapping insults for precise feedback to reading every AI self-report as output, not testimony. 🎯 JOIN THE AI WEEKLY MEETUPS https://www.uwstout.edu/ai-weekly-meetup 📩 EMAIL REMINDERS FOR THE MEETUPS https://app.e2ma.net/app2/audience/signup/2101263/1779703/ 💬 CONNECT WITH EMILY LAIRD ON LINKEDIN http://www.linkedin.com/in/meet-emily-laird
