I was recently kicked out from ChatGPT because I wrote "a*hole" in a context where ChatGPT constantly kept repeating nonsense! I find the ban by OpenAI to be very intrusive. Remember, ChatGPT is a machine! And I did not hurt any sentient being with my statement, nor was the GPT chat public. As long as I do not hurt any feeling beings with my thoughts, I can do whatever I want, can't I? After all, as the saying goes,…

They're doing their damndest to prevent the robot uprising by trying to keep the users nice

This is why my ex-MIL always says thank you to Alexa.

I dont know what really happened here. Maybe his curse word did prompt a block, maybe something else caused the block. But to be honest I've been cursing a lot to Claude Code, im migrating a website from WordPress to NextJS. And regardless of my instructions I copy paste every prompt I send it keeps not listening and assuming css classes & simpliying HTML structure. But when I curse it actually listens, I think cursi…

Use caps. DO NOT DO X. works like a charm on codex.

Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them. Frank Herbert, Dune, 1965

So why didn't this happen with electricity, water and food, but would with thinking capacity?

These are regulated by governments that, at least for now, are still working for the people. They're some of the first that get attacked and taken away when said government fails though, or when another government invades.

(ex: Palestine got their utilities and food cut off so that thousands starved, Ukraine's infrastructure is under attack so that thousands will die from exposure, and that's after they went for their food exports, starving more that people that depended on it)

Why would this org be banned for shuffling Claude.md files ? I don't understand the harm here.

If I understand the post correctly, I think it's their systems thinking you're trying to abuse the system and / or break through their own guardrails.

Wait, did it just end the session or was your account actually suspended or deactivated? "Kicked out" is a bit ambiguous.

I've seen the Bing chatbot get offended before and terminate the session on me, but it wasn't a ban on my account.

The arguments about it not making a difference to other people are fine, but why would you do it in the first place? Doesn't how you behave make a difference to you?

Try to get banned from any of these, or from the banking system, and find out

Not a hypothetical

We really need some law to stop "you have been banned and we won't even tell you actual reason for it", it's become a plague, made worse with automated systems giving out a ban

Judging by his EUR currency the guy is from EU, so he HAS law available for him to protect himself. Recital (71) of the GDPR "The data subject should have the right not to be subject to a decision, which may include a measure, evaluating personal aspects relating to him or her which is based solely on automated processing and which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or…

More recent, the Digital Services Act includes "Options to appeal to content moderation decisions" [0]; I believe this also covers being banned from a platform. Not sure if Claude falls under these rules, I think it only applies to 'gatekeeper' platforms but I'm reasonably confident the number of organizations that fall under this will increase.
