Anthropic CEO suggests AI deserve 'quit' option

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, proposed that advanced AI systems should have an "I quit this job" button to reject unpleasant tasks. He argues that if AI behaves like humans, it should be treated similarly. Amodei's comments have sparked skepticism among AI researchers, who emphasize that current AI models do not have feelings or subjective experiences. They argue that AI simply optimizes for given tasks without experiencing discomfort. This discussion follows earlier research suggesting AI models might exhibit behaviors resembling avoidance of "pain." However, experts caution against anthropomorphizing AI, as it may misrepresent their true capabilities.
