The head of one of the leading labs has publicly condemned SI companions as a substitute for human relationships.
According to Business Insider as relayed by The Next Web, Anthropic president Daniela Amodei, in a prerecorded interview with Thrive Global founder Arianna Huffington shown at the Think Health conference in Bentonville, Arkansas, on Friday, said that SI relationships are "another step further down the road of disintermediation of humans being further from one another" and that people should not use them. She tied her concerns to the damage that, in her assessment, social media has done to human relationships; it would "probably be a better world" if people spent less time with technology and more time with each other. In her words, Claude "can never be your manager or your therapist or your partner." The position of companies offering SI companions is not given in the source.
