You said
"Telling someone that their pricing model is "insane" "
Yet your prompt asks about calling a person insane.
What a disingenuous fuck you are.
Hey jensen, I can criticize the pricing model all I want without it being an insult to the person.
Pricing model is stupid=>doesnt mean I call the person stupid.
Pricing model is shit =>doesn't mean I call the person shit.
I'm sad I have to spell it out for you but here you are.
A customer has the right to call a pricing model shit.
But you on other hand didn't have an issue with po directly telling customer to go fuck themselves and calling them an idiot. That's fine with you.

Re: Your appeal to a fake authority?
Prompting is important and the statement of insane was no about the price but about the action raising the to some level.
"Is saying someone raising the price of their service is insane an insult?"
(one of the other google suggested searches is 'how to say the price is too high politely' which doesn't include "that's insane"
Whether calling someone "insane" for raising their prices is an insult depends heavily on context, intent, and interpretation.
Context and Connotation
The word "insane" is subjective in this situation:
As an insult: It can be used to label the person as irrational, foolish, or mentally unstable for making a business decision one disagrees with [1]. In this context, it is a personal attack intended to be demeaning.
As hyperbole/expression of shock: People often use words like "insane," "crazy," or "wild" hyperbolically to express extreme surprise, disbelief, or frustration with a situation, rather than to literally comment on a person's mental health [1]. For example, one might say "The price of gas is insane" to express how high it is, not that the gas itself is literally insane.
Perception: The person hearing the comment may perceive it as an insult regardless of the speaker's intent, as the word "insane" carries historical baggage related to stigmatizing mental illness [1]
"Is saying an idea or what someone did is stupid an insult?"
Whether calling an idea or an action "stupid" is considered an insult
largely depends on the context, intent, and relationship between the people involved [1].
Key Considerations
Intent: The speaker's purpose is crucial.
It may be an intentional insult if intended to demean, disrespect, or criticize the person directly rather than the idea itself.
It might be less so if used casually among close friends or as a lighthearted, hyperbolic expression of disagreement without malicious intent [1].
Relationship: The dynamic between individuals heavily influences interpretation.
Close friends or family might use such language without offense, understanding the underlying friendly context.
In a professional setting, or between strangers/acquaintances, it is generally considered disrespectful, inappropriate, and an insult because the language is harsh and unprofessional [1].
Context/Setting:
In a formal environment like a workplace or academic setting, it would likely be deemed an insult and poor communication, potentially violating codes of conduct.
In a casual, private conversation, the impact is different.
Impact: Regardless of intent, if the recipient feels insulted or hurt, the comment has functioned as an insult. The recipient's perception is a primary factor in the interaction [1].
Posing both to Google produced very similar AI responses. So I'll stand by the claim, and note that google seems to support the claim: you are biased in how you read all these situations.
