AI-nthropomorphic: attributing human qualities to AI and idolising it

⚫ AI-nthropomorphic: refers to attributing human characteristics or qualities to non-human Artificial Intelligence (AI) computer banks, and possibly proposing that transhumanist ideologies which increasingly and unthinkingly idolize AI, raise it to the level of non-human deities.

⚫ Anthropomorphic: refers to attributing human characteristics or qualities to non-human entities, such as animals, objects, or deities. This concept is commonly used in literature, art, and religion to help people relate to and understand the world around them.

^ The 1st definition is mine. I just invented that definition, much in the same way that AI frequently “invents” its own facts and boldly declares its own invented hallucinations as *verified science facts*.

^ The 2nd definition is generic, and can be easily found online.

=======================================

“Visualization of what is inside of AI models.

This represents the layers of interconnected neural networks.

And yes patterns do develop and they can form a signature of how they think.

The pattern can be seen as the thought process.”

    what irks me is the AI-nthropomorphic humanizing of computers, in the quote:

    the layers of interconnected neural networks

    as if computers can actually *think* like humans
    or that computers are actually *alive*.

    "Researchers put ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini through psychotherapy sessions for 4 weeks.

    The results were... disturbing.

    When treated as therapy clients, frontier AI models don't just role-play. They confess to trauma. Real, coherent, stable trauma narratives.

    Here's what was found: ...

    ^ thanks, I'm stealing that 🤣

    I used AI to create this image 😁

    I do enjoy gently poking our Benevolent Dear Leader AI Censors here with absurd surreal satire (or just plain silliness) in order to befuddle it.

  5. Tom Kirkmanreplying to Wes Peters

    yes, and AI will lie *repeatedly* with confidence and boldness, and double down even more when their lie is questioned.
