Do we say that a scientific method or tool or field of study "provides" things? 🤔 Do they "offer" things? Do they "achieve" things?
Do they even "combine" or "extend" things?
I feel like I should encourage my coauthor to reword sentences that endow inanimate methods with behaviours. Right?
Am I too obsessed with this? 😅

Sorry, but this feels utterly pedantic. Since language (and communication) are mostly social acts, the point of using language is just so that the speaker can make themselves more easily to understand by others and not to introduce noise in the transmission. You can invent your own language but you cannot convince others to talk with you through it. Even if anthropomorphization is a real danger when interacting with LLMs, just having a real notion of how the technology works is already very advantageous when using these tools.
"De-anthropomorphizing language talks about computer systems in terms of their functionality (what people build and/or use them to do), assigns agency to people using systems and not systems, and avoids aggrandizing metaphors about cognition.
We aim to find substitutes that are as self-explanatory as possible, so that you can just go ahead and use them without having to explain. (Though of course, if someone asks "Why are you calling it that?" that's also a great opening.)
Some of these rephrasings may feel a little clunky, and they can end up longer than the anthropomorphizing shorthand. This means it takes a little more dedication to use them, but also isn't necessarily a bad thing. We should stop and think about the tech we are using, or even discussing, and what it actually does.
We'll go through the categories of anthropomorphizing language we identified in Inie et al 2026, and give examples of de-anthropomorphized versions for each."

RE: https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender/116811128152569506
By the way, I wrote (and redrafted) my post after reading this fine article about how to talk about AI without treating it like a living entity.
I wrote "Can AI be art" instead of "Can AI create art" as well as "his repository was found by tools" instead of "coding agents found his repository". -

OK, Chang is also on board with having audits of AI so we can ensure we know who should be accountable. #AISE26
Artem Lomakin: all kinds of tech was innovated & tested in cold war europe, including the internet.
Just realised I'm friends with the transhumanist I didn't name here :-) I have the worst name & face recognition; I recognised him by his policy eventually.
Argh: "We've noticed, AI does make mistakes." AI IS NOT THE ACTOR (I won't name that guy either) #anthropomorphism #AIEthics

CW: On the Unkept Promises of Capitalism (1/2)
RE: https://ohai.social/@jascha/116713757833872735
Anthropomorphism is a natural human phenomenon. To answer it, we have 3 choices:
* Deny it and do it unintentionally, thus believing that corporations love you because they told you they did.
* Accept it and rebuke the tendency constantly, viewing corporations as constructs without independent moral agency....
