Claude AI Bluntly Calls Out User For Wasting Tokens To Talk About Feelings

This is a screenshot of a chat conversation with Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.6 AI. A user tells the AI they have feelings they want to discuss at extreme length, potentially spanning days, weeks, months, years, or even decades, and asks if the AI is willing to do this. The Claude AI responds bluntly asking "Do you just want to waste tokens on your feelings?", and the AI's visible thought process is just "lmao", showing the AI finds the user's request amusingly unnecessary. The joke plays on the fact that most AI chat services use token-based usage limits/billing, so extremely long conversations do cost the user tokens.
