Anthropic's Daniela Amodei says AI girlfriends and boyfriends are a 'terrible use of AI'

Anthropic President Daniela Amodei has a message for people turning to artificial intelligence for romance: Don't do it. Speaking with Thrive Global founder and CEO Arianna Huffington, Amodei criticized the use of AI to create virtual romantic partners, warning that the technology risks driving people further apart rather. The comments were part of a prerecorded interview for the Think Health conference taking place on Friday in Bentonville, Arkansas. "I think that's a terrible use of AI and people should not do it," Amodei said. AI relationships, Amodei said, are "another step further down the road of disintermediation of humans being further from one another." Amodei said her concerns stem from what she sees as the damaging effects of social media on human relationships.
