No, of course not. Well.. apart from their API. That is a useful thing.
But you're missing the point. It is doing all this stuff with user consent, yes. It's just that the user fundamentally cannot provide informed consent as they seem to be out of their minds.
So yeah, technically, all those compliance checkboxes are ticked. That's just entirely irrelevant to the point I am making.
> It's just that the user fundamentally cannot provide informed consent
The user is an adult. They are capable of consenting to whatever they want, no matter how irrational it may look to you.
Uh, yes?
What does that refute?
You just said the user is incapable of providing informed consent.
In any context, I really dislike software that prevents me from doing something dangerous in order to "protect" me. That's how we get iOS.
The user is an adult, they can consent to this if they want to. If Anthropic is using dark patterns to trick them that's a different story--that wouldn't be informed consent--but I don't think that's happening here?
