Because they actually want it to work 100% of the time and cost nothing.

Maybe hard to believe but not everyone is speaking English to Claude

Then they made it wrong. For example, "What the actual fuck?" is not getting flagged, neither is "What the *fuck*".

It is exceedingly obvious that the goal here is to catch at least 75-80% of negative sentiment and not to be exhaustive and pedantic and think of every possible way someone could express themselves.

Classic over-engineering. Their approach is just fine 90% of the time for the use case it’s intended for.

75-80% [1], 90%, 99% [2]. In other words, no one has any idea.

I doubt it's anywhere that high because even if you don't write anything fancy and simply capitalize the first word like you'd normally do at the beginning of a sentence, the regex won't flag it.

Anyway, I don't really care, might just as well be 99.99%. This is not a hill I'm going to die on :P

They evidently ran a statistical analysis and determined that virtually no one uses those phrases as a quick retort to a model's unsatisfying answer... so they don't need to optimize for them.
