you're still mistaking that Claude "knows" anything, it doesn't know or think, it's a word prediction algorithm and there is nothing stopping a word prediction algorithm from predicting falsehoods.

You don’t know anything either, you’re just a soup of meat and bones that happens to have emergent properties from chemical reactions.

These framings are not useful.

I think it is useful to remember, because enough people think these things have genuine motives desires and treat them in that way because of that misunderstanding. they think theres a person in there with morals that would or wouldn't lie because of some devious reason and forget simply the context filled up and the truth was "forgotten".

The default framing often over personifies ai, but this framing over alienates the model. It’s good to think with both framings, but both feel like imperfect metaphors.
