    Bernie Sanders session with Claude on privacy. Somewhere between hilarious and Black Mirror.

    I didn’t get to watch all of it. But I was thinking that Claude would know everything about Bernie, and be sure you cater its responses to him.

    This is an interesting piece, and I love Bernie for doing things to bring attention to AI's many faceted problems. However there are a few things I don't like about it (as a format, not with any of the content per se).

    Firstly - even with no malice or ill intent on anyone's part, AI in default mode is going to agree with the person they're talking too. So that isn't really "Claude's opinion", Claude isn't a person with specific beliefs.

    Secondly - even though we see the text on screen, drawing attention to the fact that this is a conversation happened as it is being shown, it is trivially easy to have put in a setup prompt at the very beginning to make sure the conversation goes exactly as they want it to.

      I repeated the conversation to a new Claude account, it gave very similar responses, perhaps a little more verbose, so I think the only instruction they might have given was to be succinct.

        It's gotten me thinking though, for the wider audience, how do you convince them that such a conversation is "real"? When the AI in the video itself is telling you about use cases where AI can be used to spread disinformation and propaganda, this seems particularly difficult.

    At first I thought this was going to be weird or cringe, but it’s a well thought out idea. Great editing and messaging.
