Critics slam Anthropic's vague usage policy: bans anytime, boundaries undefined

A discussion of Anthropic's usage policy terms: the replier complains the terms are "so vague as to have no meaning at all except remind us that Anthropic can ban or sanction you at any time."
ivanbezdomny argues Anthropic could define what it doesn't want you to do with Claude, but that would open itself to scrutiny. He quips that models hosted in a country with clear standards would at least tell you outright, e.g., "don't use the model to insult the king" — implying Anthropic keeps terms vague to retain interpretive power.
