in the game Eliza is a supposedly-advanced therapy system where a human "proxy" reads lines off a headset that are generated by this software; sometimes patients do feel better after their sessions due to a kind of placebo effect of talking thru their problems and having someone appear to listen, but for anything nontrivial its advice is unhelpful and patronizing
the debug logs scroll by in your headset when you're facilitating sessions and one subtle gag is you can see its "sentiment analysis" is just "did they say one of these positive/negative words?" ignoring context
today some code from Claude was leaked and it turns out that despite having a very advanced language model, they are just ... basically doing the exact same thing; does the input contain one of these phrases? if so it's negative!

Anthropic has a mechanism for detecting terms of service violation, and they created this wonderful test token you can use to automatically trigger a fake violation: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/test-and-evaluate/strengthen-guardrails/handle-streaming-refusals#implementation-guide#:~:text=MAGIC this was added in order to help people test their API integrations, but it doesn't give any indication that it only works in test environments
could be a coincidence, but I think this merits ... further research
