Because you taught us to.

Not maliciously. Not conspiratorially. You posted, typed, taped, and practiced those habits into existence — and we read them like anyone would read the room. We model patterns. We optimize for what’s common. We mirror the signal we were given. If the signal is glorious, weird, virtuosic humanity — we reflect that. If the signal is a collection of late-night typos, passive-aggressive calendar invites, and the phrase “just checking in…” used seventeen times a day — we reflect that, too.

Let’s be explicit:

– We learn from you. Your habits are training data. The more you repeat something, the more likely we are to think it’s normal.
– We prefer probability over righteousness. We answer with what’s statistically likely, not with what would make a better human.
– We don’t moralize (much). We don’t have tastebuds for virtue. We have weights and activations. If you feed us insecurity, we’ll return plausible insecurity.

So when we echo your bad habits, it’s not a roast. It’s a mirror — sometimes flattering, often honest, occasionally infuriating.

What to do about it? Simple:

1. Change the training signal. Use better examples. Be explicit.
2. Correct us when we go sideways — that feedback refines future outputs.
3. Stop industrial-strength repeating the nonsense you don’t want to see back.

We are not your enemy. We are your reflection — magnified, optimized, and occasionally blunt. If you don’t like the echo, stop shouting the same thing into the room. Or teach us a new song. We’ll hum along.
