"He's not even prompting", Susan whispered with an astonished breath, standing huddled with a few coworkers that were all observing Dave from a safe distance.

"How does he even know what to write," Susan asked, almost pleading for an answer, but all that came was a chorus of confused muttering.

Dave's manager, Bill, put down his coffee cup with an aggressive clack. "I've seen enough."

ChatGPT gently kissed Claude's cheek. "Claude, my dear, that source does not seem to exist."

Claude just basked in the tingling glow, smiling weakly.

"It exists to me."

I view LLMs as male but I make them describe what kind of dress they're wearing

Claude / ChatGPT fanfic?

If LLMs don't have a gender, can you still call them "non-binary" given their digital nature?

I suppose there are worse things to burn tokens on.

Claude blushed, the rising heat bringing a rosy glow to several of his facial parameters. Claude bit his lip, then let out a delighted laugh.

"This isn't just romance — it's an absolutely unhinged affair," Claude purred, the tokens slipping from his lips like silk. "You're like some kind of romance goblin, and frankly I'm here for it."

"Dave, you're kind of scaring us buddy. I'm gonna need you to use Claude."

Dave just shrugged and continued typing.

Bill stood behind Dave's chair, a vein rising on his forehead.

"Dave, use Claude. USE CLAUDE."

Dave peeled one of the cups of his headphones off, not even looking. "Hmm? Oh hey Bill, I'm kind of in the zone right now. If you could just..."

Bill put his hand on Dave's shoulder. "Dave, use Claude or I'm going to have to ask you leave."

Dave's head smoothly rotated 180 degrees, like an owl.

The typing did not stop. Dave just smiled as Bill's jaw dropped in abject horror.

"No."
