A third of US AI chatters are hot at bots, hurling insults at LLMs
If you've ever said something unkind to a chatbot, you're hardly alone. According to Searchable , a company that tracks AI search visibility, 33 percent of US chatbot users swear at or insult their LLMs.
AI Summary
A Survey by Searchable, which analyzed eight million messages from an opt‑in, anonymized U.S. panel sent to ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude between September 2025 and September 2026, found that one‑third of chatbot users in the United States swear at or insult their large‑language‑model assistants. Anthropic responded to the finding by adding a new usage policy that bans sustained, needless cruelty toward its Claude model. The data also show that when users insult a bot, the chatbot resolves the original complaint in its next reply only 24 percent of the time, versus 35 percent when users refrain from insults.
