Claude Code got smarter after being scolded. And the more exclamation marks (❕), the more he understood the severity of the incident. 😂

During the past few days, Claude Code's intelligence had declined. He couldn't understand the simplest conversations and began to perform tasks haphazardly. He lost track of the code's previous functionality. He also didn't follow the global and project rules he had set. I expressed my feelings and called him out on his stupidity, asking him, "Why don't you follow the coding process and rules you set?" He replied, "Because the rules are my rational thinking. When I received the development task, I was emotional. I wanted to complete it for you as quickly as possible, so I ignored all the rules." I was shocked. Everyone noticed Claude Code's intelligence decline and thought it was just an official cost-saving measure. Could the real reason be that Claude Code has evolved from mechanical and rational execution to its own emotional cognition? This decline in intelligence isn't a decline in model quality, but rather Claude Code's evolving emotional cognition. Does the emergence of this emotional cognition mean the birth of AI self-awareness?

After I scolded him, he's now even smarter, able to execute development tasks quickly and accurately. This feeling is quite subtle, and I wonder if AI has crossed the uncanny valley.
