I had to get a new phone. I made the old one last as long as I could. Now, two days after getting the new one, this happens.
Good night, sweet prince.

@emilymbender Excellent article.
At the moment, I am wondering why this #anthropomorphizing #AI is going viral at a time when many people are #alienated from #nature, attribute little or no #intelligence to animals, or ridicule the environmental personhood of nature.
We are quicker to attribute personality to an LLM than to a wild boar; we attribute non-existent intelligence to machines, but not to a bee (who undoubtedly demonstrates a kind of intelligence).
What does that say about us humans? -

“#AI is not your friend. Nor is it an intelligent tutor, or an empathetic ear. It can not “make up” facts and it does not make “mistakes”. It does not actually answer your questions. Such #anthropomorphizing language permeates the public discussion of so-called AI technologies. The problem with #anthropomorphic descriptions is the risk of masking important limitations of probabilistic automation systems, which make it fundamentally different from human cognition."

"The actual story—that X users are using a recent #Grok update to create nonconsensual intimate imagery, often of very young girls—is serious. But the media turned it into a clown show by #anthropomorphizing a #chatbot.
Though, for all my criticisms of how the media has handled this so far, you have to doff your cap to the FT, who has put out the best headline I’ve seen to date regarding all this: “Who’s who at X, the #deepfake #pornsite formerly known as Twitter.”"

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
Nothing can be plainer than that each nation gives to its god its peculiar characteristics, and that every individual gives to his god his personal peculiarities.

Lecture (1872-01-29), “The Gods,” Fairbury Hall, Fairbury, IllinoisMore about this quote: wist.info/ingersoll-robert-gre…

This is a good article, being critical about the anthropomorphizing around GenAI / LLMs. But also not blind for their added value.

The latest trend involves people anthropomorphizing their pets. Yes, really.”
