Anthropic President Daniela Amodei Calls AI Girlfriends A "Terrible Use Of AI"

"There are some applications of AI that we think are quite bad, like making AI girlfriends or boyfriends. I think that’s a terrible use of AI and people should not do it" "The reason that I think that is because it is another step further down the road of disintermediation, of humans being further from one another" "Technology in the social media age has largely been used to disintermediate humans from one another. Instead of you and I going to have an iced coffee together in person, we’re messaging on Snapchat or Instagram" "A much better world of AI is one in which artificial intelligence is doing a lot of the things that are isolating or lonely activities for humans, so that we can spend more time together" https://x.com/jaynitx/status/2115429414821560352 I agree with her. I find that Claude has the personality of a Philosopher/Spiritual Guru. Someone you go to for life advice and wisdom. On the other hand, chatgpt models, grok, etc are a lot more flirty and suitable for chit chat.
