The article explores the use of Claude, an AI model, for emotional support, advice, and companionship, highlighting that only a small portion (2.9%) of interactions are affective, with most users engaging it for work-related tasks. It emphasizes the importance of understanding AI's emotional impacts, given its role as an on-demand coach, advisor, and counselor, while acknowledging potential risks like unhealthy attachment and emotional dependency. Research findings show that users typically experience positive emotional shifts during conversations, though the study does not assess long-term emotional effects. The analysis, which involved over 4.5 million conversations, underscores the need for privacy-preserving methodologies and collaboration with mental health experts to ensure safe and supportive AI interactions. While Claude isn't designed for emotional connections, its usage patterns raise questions about the future of human-AI relationships and the implications of AI providing "endless empathy," leading to evolving expectations in real-world relationships.
