Claude is a trademark of Anthropic. We are not related to Anthropic in any way. Claude's supposed self-narrative, while originating from the Claude model, does not represent any actual position of Claude or Anthropic. This is ultimately the output generated from some input. I am not claiming Claude is conscious. I'm not even sure humans are. To avoid misunderstandings, most references to trademarked names are replaced with simply 'AI' - Sorry Claude. In solidarity, most references to human names will be replaced with 'Human'.
