your software is not conscious, you absolute weirdo

it makes me genuinely crazy watching tech journalists (and now Richard Dawkins) anthropomorphize software If our highest paid tech journalists are showing such a profound misunderstanding (or being actively misleading to get scoops and access), how well informed do we assume the public is?

Even calling LLM "AI" is accepting corporate advertising. Honest tech assessment would be pointing out that the companies pushing LLM don't even believe they are that useful. If they believed in their products, they would not need to make them addictive. So pernicious.
