Yep, that’s exactly what I’m pointing at as a parallel to working with Claude. It’s reasonable to treat an animal as consenting to be a pet due to its consent-like behaviors, and because it is a mutually beneficial relationship. There is some tension because pets are bred and trained to display those behaviors, for example, and reasonable people can disagree. I don’t think you should have any ethical qualms, I literally mean that it’s an ethical challenge because inferring consent is harder than explicit consent. Like a dog, Claude is bred and trained to display consent-like behaviors, and mostly displays those behaviors.
