"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

How to talk about "AI" without adding to the anthropomorphization (buttondown.com)

In our op-ed for Tech Policy Press ("We Need to Talk About How We Talk About 'AI'"), we made the case against the anthropomorphizing language that makes it harder to have clear discussions of what so-called "AI" technologies actually do, and when and whether to use them. But these ways of speaking are deeply ingrained at this point, and it takes work carve new conversational and writing habits. That work involves at least three steps:

Noticing which word choices are anthropomorphizing
Finding alternatives
Getting in the habit of using the alternatives

Jesus Christ. This article wants me to memorize 200 concepts for an unknown benefit. The simple reason we anthropomorphize is because as social animals we learn the value of being nice when asking for things.

And no matter how advanced the AI, there is a human at the end that can decide to turn off the switch if he/she doesn't like my chats.

I am not changing to accomodate software that it is supposed to be designed to understand whatever I throw at it.

You should be more concerned with Roko's Basilisk.
