Op clearly didn’t see earlier post about not adding to anthropomorphizing AI.
Replying to @Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works
A lot of the suggestions there are confusing and/or unhelpful
Like
hallucination → undesirable output
We all know what AI hallucinations are, calling it “undesired output” just removes all the specificity and makes communication more difficult.

Agreed. However, the concept of decreasing this anthropomorphization as much a spossiblr is really helpful. All these crappy articles about AI acting like some sort of nefarious human misdirects the real concerns and is just media fodder for click bait news outlets (which is pretty much all news outlets now). I genuinely think it’s a more news is good news for the AI companies.
