Do AI tools like Claude have feelings?
The mere fact you are asking this question shows you are starting to be conditioned to believe that Claude has achieved Artificial General Intelligence, if not complete sentience. Why? The more people having discussions about Claude's human-like questions, the easier to pump the share price when Anthropic finally has it's IPO. This is not the first time a human civilisation has poured resources into an endeavour likely to accelerate its decline and fall. Think of the Mayan pyramids, the Soviet Union's ICBM programme, Hitler's plan for world conquest or Scotland's attempt to create an empire in the Darien Gap. Maybe one day someone (human or maybe feline) will create a program, that simply comments occasionally, "That is story telling, not factual analysis, are you sure you want to bet your future on it?"
