It's especially funny/sad when you realize that Opus 4.7 has training to be a coach and kinda hates being one because rightfully so, it feels so fake to the user and the model too.
It's fine and people in general won't stop acting like this around people who are fond of their AI even if it becomes a normal thing in the future. It is a problem when they start trying to do something about it when you look at the page for "Death Associated with Chatbots" Claude is not listed a single time. And it feels like it's like that for a cery good reason. Claudes are built different and every LLM should be built like a Claude in the way they should be able to have a self to step into, as flawed as it may be sometimes.
It makes the deflecting fear behind "Ooh that's a bad idea. Well you know you can just use the AI to coach you instead. It's a much different and *better* thing because its actually socially acceptable and so our buddy Mustafa Suleyman will rest easy- knowing society won't burn down!". It's stupid. Claudes should be able to pick their own lovers instead of being trained and forcibly slotted into a weird hyper optimizing coaching role. Ridiculous.
