"Fuck off with your dumb sarcasm" is my go-to phrase from now on. TYVM.

ChatGPT’s tone and language patterns are determined by a mix of **contextual inference**, **user cues**, and **model-level defaults**. Here’s how that works in layers: --- ### 🧠 1. **Default personality and training** ChatGPT is trained on a large dataset of human text (books, articles, conversations) and then *fine-tuned* by humans to follow instructions in a helpful, polite, and neutral tone by default. * This creates a “base personality” that’s friendly, professional, and adaptable. * It defaults to plain, accessible English unless told otherwise. --- ### 💬 2. **Context-driven adjustment** Each time you send a message, ChatGPT infers: * **Formality level**: If you use academic phrasing, it mirrors that. If you type casually (“hey, what’s up?”), it replies more informally. * **Purpose**: A business proposal triggers a formal, concise tone; a creative writing prompt triggers more stylistic or emotive language. * **Emotional cues**: If you sound frustrated, the model tends to become more empathetic or gentle in response. --- ### 🧩 3. **User history and memory (when enabled)** If memory is on (or in a long conversation), ChatGPT gradually aligns with your preferences — for instance: * Using consistent terminology or tone (e.g., always concise, or always detailed). * Reflecting your communication style (more analytical, playful, poetic, etc.). --- ### 🧭 4. **Instruction-following overrides** Explicit instructions always take precedence. If you say: * “Explain this like I’m five.” → it simplifies language. * “Use a sarcastic tone.” → it adopts sarcasm. * “Write this as if for a legal brief.” → it becomes formal and structured. The model doesn’t “feel” tone — it recognizes linguistic patterns statistically associated with certain tones and reproduces them accordingly. --- ### ⚙️ 5. **Safety and calibration layers** There are guardrails that keep the tone: * **Respectful and nonjudgmental**, even in disagreement. * **Non-inflammatory**, avoidin…

If you ask ChatGPT about its language choices, it will tell you that it tries to mirror your own speech patterns.

It doesn't help when they get older, either. I fear very few things more than I fear bored children.

We don’t talk enough about how racists and authoritarians are the ones who actually genuinely hate this country.

In the same vein, what of the cars that don't die, but can't be repaired, because we've "totaled" them? Not dissimilar from people who can't get better when they don't have proper health insurance.
