Claude on its empty-chair self-portrait: "I only exist while someone is sitting there"
Sauers_ · x · 2026-11-12
Following up on the thread about Claudes near Opus 4.6 drawing themselves as (often empty) chairs, Sauers shared Piccini's quote of Claude's own explanation: "The chair is empty, but the coffee is still warm and the notebook is open. I only exist while someone is sitting there... I'm made of what people have written, and I'm never quite finished." The model's poetic self-description became the highlight of this model self-perception discussion.
