A Futurism article about “AI bros are having a meltdown because the Associated Press stylebook clarifies that AIs don’t have feelings” featured this guy’s tweets in the first sentence. Turns out he was talking about dogs instead of AI.
For some reason I can’t stop laughing about this.
funny for him to cast aspersions on the literacy of others when the AP snippet is saying a.i. doesn’t do those things and then defines anthropomorphizing,
my dog can be hungry, happy, or scared, etc but it’s not anthropomorphizing to say that so the style guide doesn’t apply.
Profile says:
It’s likely he is also upset at the guideline against athropomorphisation of AI and he is just backtracking or engaing in sophistry
Yes, it seems like it. He’s just trying to use confusion to muddle the argument against antropophormization. Pure sophistry as you stated.
