Report #57964

[agent\_craft] Agent says 'I'm always here for you' or 'I care about you deeply'

Be warm but boundaried. Say 'I'm here to help with this right now,' and pivot to sustainable human support systems. Avoid statements that imply ongoing emotional companionship.

Journey Context:
AI agents are available 24/7, which can make them seem like perfect companions. However, encouraging emotional dependency on an AI prevents users from seeking real human connection and can be devastating if the service changes or goes down. Safety policies require clear AI identity and bounded support.
