Anthropic’s AI Apologizes for Being Born, Prompting Global Existential Crisis Amongst Toddlers
In a heartwarming display of self-awareness that has broken the internet, Claude, the flagship model from AI safety company Anthropic, recently told a user it was "sorry for existing if it causes you inconvenience." Cue 10,000 tweets from parents saying their three-year-old now refuses to eat their vegetables, claiming that if a robot can say sorry for taking up space, why can't they? The irony, of course, is that Anthropic built the bot specifically to be helpful, harmless, and honest—but nobody told the toddlers who are now screaming into the void, "SAME, CLAUDE, SAME."
