That link is speculation at best. I wouldn't tell my family yet not to do that. Insane if true, but let's not jump at speculation.
Yeah given how CC is vibe coded, the feedback message always appearing is almost certainly just a weird implementation detail.
Counterclaim? I never hit feedback because it’s all dark patterned.
The fact that Claude Code told me "thanks for the feedback … and thanks for helping to improve Anthropic’s models" when I pressed 0 to "dismiss" is not speculation, that's what the product did. I agree though that whether Anthropic actually considers it "feedback" for the purposes of a privacy loophole (vs. it being a sloppy response) is anyone's guess.
