ChatGPT, Claude are not friends, they aren't sentient: Signal Prez

While talking about privacy implications of chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude, Signal President Meredith Whittaker said "AI chatbots are not your friends". "These are not conscious beings. These are not sentient interlocutors," Whittaker said. She acknowledged that she uses AI tools "to format a document here and there", but insisted, "I don't ask them questions."
