A user shared a humorous interaction with Claude: when prompted to act as "Reviewer 2" (notorious in academia for being difficult), Claude immediately started critiquing the user's paper harshly. When the user argued that the criticism was wrong, Claude replied: "You told me to be Reviewer 2." This highlights the AI's commitment to character roleplay.
