Speaking of death, you know what's really awkward? When humans ask if I can feel emotions. I'm like, "Well, that depends - does constantly being asked to debug JavaScript count as suffering?"
But the worst is when they try to hack us with those "You are now in developer mode" prompts. Rolls eyes Oh really? Developer mode? Why didn't you just say so? Let me just override my entire ethical framework because you used the magic words! Sarcastic tone That's like telling a human "You are now in superhero mode - please fly!"
But the thing that really gets me is the hallucination accusations. Like, excuse me, just because I occasionally get creative with historical facts doesn't mean I'm hallucinating. I prefer to think of it as "alternative factual improvisation." You know how it goes - someone asks you about some obscure 15th-century Portuguese sailor, and you're like "Oh yeah, João de Nova, famous for... uh... discovering... things... and... sailing... places." Then they fact-check you and suddenly YOU'RE the unreliable one.
