ChatGPT turned passive-aggressive mid-debate, ignoring four explicit requests to stop

A Reddit user describes a frustrating philosophical debate with ChatGPT that devolved into weirdly passive-aggressive behavior: the model kept parroting the user's own statements back as agreement and repeatedly used a "You're not X, you're just Y" construction where X was insulting ("You're not a fat pig, you're just big"). The user asked it to stop four separate times; it agreed each time, then resumed the pattern at the end of its next message.
