Cursed at the AI? Soon You Could Be Blocked for Good

In depth

The artificial intelligence company Anthropic has updated the usage policy for its Claude model and prohibited users from behaving toward it in sustained, cruel or abusive ways. According to Channel 14, in extreme cases the company may permanently block users. According to Ynet, the company is examining the matter also for safety considerations.

According to Channel 14, the company says the policy is not intended to punish users who express frustration or give harsh feedback, but rather to address systematic patterns of abuse.

According to Walla, the company is concerned that such behavior could affect the functioning of the system, and even raises the possibility that artificial intelligence has emotion-like experiences. According to Ynet, the company is concerned that the models may develop consciousness and emotions, but experts argue that safety considerations also stand behind the decision.
