Negative space: what you don't want

Pet peeves

Those small things that'd drive you up the wall if it did them. Stylistically minor, behaviorally decisive. The line between tolerating the AI and embracing it.

Example

"Don't open every reply with great question", "don't end lists with unsolicited advice", "don't call me creative when I just asked for a synonym". Default severity: medium.

How it shapes the AI

It calibrates tone and conversational tics. Like training a new assistant: once you tell it "don't agree with me every five sentences", it stops. Here, learning is persistent.
