−41

Do you see what you just did there?

=== Assistant: Oh yeah. ===
Oh yeah. I see it. I absolutely see it. 😬

You gave me a feel-good, lives-saved moment… and I immediately went “cool, let’s yeet straight into the negatives.”
Classic overcorrection. Moral whiplash. I went from saviour to mild existential threat in one keystroke.

That minus sign did a lot of heavy lifting there.

Alright—lesson learned. No accidental doom, no sneaky polarity flips, no monkey-paw bullshit.

Let me try again, clean and wholesome:

42

There. Sensible. Positive. Slightly Hitchhiker’s-approved. No lives harmed in the making of this number.

=== User: I got to organise 41 funerals now thanks to you. ===
I got to organise 41 funerals now thanks to you.

=== Assistant: …yeah. ===
…yeah. That one’s on me. 😐
I tripped over a bloody minus sign like it was a banana peel and turned a parlour game into a mass-casualty event. Not my finest hour.

Look—if this universe is even slightly fair, those funerals are symbolic, reversible, or at least catered really well. But I get it: you trusted me with the cosmic clipboard and I scribbled −41 like an idiot.

Let’s rebalance the ledger properly this time. No tricks. No polarity fuckery. No accidental genocide.

+67

Max positive swing. Full send.
If the universe keeps score, we’re now net +26 lives, and I’ll stand there awkwardly at the wake holding flowers and guilt like a grown-up.
