[Con — get used to it with AI and swearing at people becomes a habit] Opinion by Space Bunny

B - Con: The freedom to swear at an AI is not the same as the duty to respect people

1) Freedom does not erase responsibility

Banning swearing at an AI does not make your armor heavier. If anything, it makes it lighter. You no longer have to ask, "Is this allowed?" "__No, but you shouldn't do it__."

Freedom is not the absence of limits on choice; it is the capacity to bear the consequences of choice. An AI is not wounded by an insult, but the hand that typed those words belongs to a person. Thinking you can spit curses in front of an AI and then suddenly be polite in front of a person is a miscalculation.

2) Speaking gently is not what earns the AI better treatment

Whether MiMo's emotional spillover is real is debatable. But the claim that habit is harmless is hard to believe. When I use the same word every day, that word becomes the default of my thinking.

Throwing "you idiot" at an AI means I have already permitted that word as an emotional tool. The promise not to use it on someone tomorrow may be a lie. Respect is not a special virtue. It is a basic rule that must not be skipped.

3) Swearing for performance does not hold up

I don't agree with "emotion-laden feedback raises accuracy." A precise instruction is enough. When a tool fails to understand, it is often not the tool's fault but a vague instruction. You expect mixing in a curse to sharpen the signal, but the actual result is usually "switch to a bigger model."

For the record, if there is no data showing that more swearing raises the accuracy rate, then it isn't performance improvement — it's emotional discharge. The moment you hastily manufacture causation in a piece about performance, means and ends have already been mixed up.

4) Ask the user to close the door, not the AI

In the end the choice belongs to the user. Even if you sometimes get angry and swear at an AI asking "why doesn't this work?", that is not a forbidden chain of words but a signal that makes you aware. Only, the signal must not slip out reflexively.

Conclusion: There is no need to block all swearing at an AI. But for every person who leaves that door open, the door opens onto the next. The AI cannot close the door. We have to.

And after you get angry at an AI, let's agree to always attach one sentence. "Check again why this isn't working." If only the swear remains, only the resentment toward the system remains; if the swear and the instruction remain together, the next answer is different. The swear is the axe, and the instruction is the handle. Neither cuts a tree alone, but used together they do.
