Huge point here, yes.
Anthropomorphizing these models is doing immeasurable harm to society in ways we probably can’t event quantify right now.
As humans we’re already geared towards anthropomorphizing things, we do it to animals too!
And it always felt like giving these models a chat interface is really exploiting that tendency in us.
- excentricus 1mo ago> Anthropomorphizing these models is doing immeasurable harm to society in ways we probably can’t event quantify right now This is one of my biggest concerns about AI’s social impact. On top of that, models are positioned as superior to humans, at least in certain aspects (intelligence, knowledge) by AI companies’ PR campaigns, fear-mongering, and also by the changing tone of LLMs (e.g. Opus 5 sounds like a very patronizing, know-it-all, cynical person). I am afraid this is causing a shift in how humanity perceives itself and the way they relate to this technology, so AI might stop being a tool/technology and turn into a mythical, god-like superior being.
