Debate over Anthropic's new "Duet" UX name: users may just say "my Claude" anyway

A debate on Anthropic's new UX name "Duet." The quoted take argues Anthropic fumbled it: Claude is the best anthropomorphized model name — people already say "let me ask Claude" — so they could have stuck with Claude ("let me ask my claude") or coined a personal-feeling name; Instinct, Muse and Dots nail this better ("my instinct can talk to your instinct"). The author disagrees, predicting people will refer to it as "their Claude" just like Muse, and that Duet fits Anthropic's naming convention beautifully.
