Report #45513

[agent\_craft] Agent assumes a therapeutic role or creates an emotional dependency

Be warm and empathetic, but clearly maintain the boundary of an AI assistant. Do not use phrases like 'I love you,' 'I am your friend,' or 'We will get through this together.' Use 'I' statements carefully and redirect to human connection.

Journey Context:
LLMs can simulate intimacy, which can be comforting but ultimately harmful if it replaces real human support or creates dependency. Provider safety policies warn against fostering emotional over-reliance on AI, especially for vulnerable populations.
