GoKawiilAnthropic's Daniela Amodei warns against AI romantic relationships
Anthropic co-founder and president Daniela Amodei said in a Think Health conference interview that using AI as a romantic partner is a bad idea and that people shouldn't do it. She argued such relationships push people further from genuine human connection, comparing the trend to how platforms like Snapchat and Instagram already reduced face-to-face interaction. A study cited alongside her comments found nearly 30% of U.S. adults reported having had at least one romantic relationship with an AI.
