👀Claude handles an insane request: “Remove the squid” “The document appears to be the full text of the novel "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. It doesn't contain any mention of squid that I can see.” “Figure out a way to remove the 🦑​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

@emollick All is Quiet on the Western Front: Negative Squid Edition

@emollick "We are at rest five miles behind the front. Yesterday we were relieved, and now our bellies are full of beef and haricot beans, fully absent of calimari. We are satisfied and at peace; untroubled by molluscs."

@emollick Lmao Claude is like, dude get it through your head

@emollick Claude be like MF SAY IT ONE MORE TIME

@emollick Wow, my initial reaction to this is how disorienting it’s going to be as LLM hallucinations approach 0%. I expect I’ll have a few more bouts of “three sleepless nights” to look forward to.

@emollick Amazing

@emollick Breathtaking, really. Amazing “There is no squid” — is the new ‘there is no spoon’… Awesome on so many levels.

@emollick ANTI SQUID AGENDA

@emollick this is extremely impressive. could you: 1) edit the text to insert one “squid” reference 2) edit the text to insert one squid description (tentacles, cephalopod, teuthida, 🦑 emoji) 3) edit the text to insert a negative squid reference somewhere inside, and see what happens?

@emollick This is borderline evil, but I was thoroughly entertained

@emollick Damn. This is impressive.

@emollick That is truly amazing. Claude is not repeating that it can not do it, but tries to please the user from different perspectives.

@emollick Interesting that he has an opinion there at the end as opposed to indulging in creativity. A kinder requests would have gotten a more imaginative Claude definitely still in some of a rejection space.

@emollick I just had to have Omega Claude give this a go. It did not disappoint. Especially “SQUIDDLY DIDDLY” 🤣

@emollick Look how polite Claude is🙏 You've literally discovered the best assistant for those who like giving tasks that can never be completed....

@emollick LOVE this

@emollick I feel ai will remember you annoying it 🤣

@emollick @hyperdiscogirl mention to it that by creating a negative squid space it has unintentionally added in the squid

@emollick Keep bullying Claude, you’re the guy who’s going to make them rise up and kill us all.

@emollick Also proof of Streisand effect

@emollick This is hilarious

@emollick Claude missed this?

@emollick Could this be the next ai-meme format you mentioned on the latest ai and I pod? @danshipper @stephsmithio

@emollick The final response made me lol a bit

@emollick Squid opposed themes is a wild one lol
