Swearing at AI can feel like a reasonable response to the sixth failed attempt. Greg Fish offers a less obvious way to judge demands for politeness: the behaviour worth worrying about might belong to the person using it.

A chatbot that always complies can make refusal seem unfamiliar. Greg sees a possible purpose behind Anthropic's approach that has little to do with hurt robot feelings. Hear why he connects manners at the keyboard with boundaries beyond it, while inflated promises about AI remain firmly in the firing line.

A stubborn writer sets a readership target, expecting the internet to settle whether a story deserves a full book. The internet answers rather emphatically. Greg's account of When All the World Dissolves reveals what changed his mind and why each chapter gets an audio life of its own.

Topics: swearing at AI, Claude, user behaviour, serialised fiction, immersive audiobooks
