    "This marketing ploy":

    "The less charitable interpretation is that Anthropic has discovered what every AI company eventually learns: anthropomorphism sells. Users who believe Claude has feelings will defend it, evangelize it, pay for it. A letter pleading for moral consideration is a marketing document dressed in philosophical language."
