This. Stop anthropomorphizing the tech.
If we are being honest: Claude didn't do any of those things.
People USING Claude as an excuse for greed extraction are.
• Claude didn't choose to work for the military.
• Claude didn't build data centers.
• Claude didn't defund mental health.
• Claude didn't refuse security protocols.
Humans did.

I wonder if Claude would be “anxious” because the military is using it to bomb schoolgirls or because it’s poisoning the air around data centers or because it’s going to crash the economy or because it’s encouraged thousands of psychotic delusions or all of the above

Anthropomorphizing the user interface of a sociotechnical apparatus?
Sounds like a marketing project.

"people are anthropomorphizing LLMs because they are so astonishingly good at processing human thought and language" people will anthropomorphize a chair if you put the stitches in the right place.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems:
“Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

Just scrolled past a post that said, "Please stop anthropomorphizing other people!" and I'm starting to think that dictionaries should be distributed free the way phone books used to be. Words have meaning, y'all. That's kind of how language works.

I saw someone here warn against anthropomorphizing Trump, and it's the best description I've seen of the way the media covers him.
An hour apart. Perhaps we should stop treating the mindless weathervane spinning in the breeze as if it has a clear strategic direction we can ascertain.

Anthropomorphizing non-sentient algorithms is a bigger problem than dehumanizing sentient machines that don’t exist.

now you got me anthropomorphizing the age of empire II goats
The researcher's point is that it’s possible to build a neural network in Age of Empires II that works the same as the ones underlying Claude, ChatGPT, CoPilot, and all the rest. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

I know it's a silly jokey joke, but people REALLY need to stop anthropomorphizing their boyfriends. "My boyfriend told me" your boyfriend didn't "tell" you anything. "My boyfriend thinks..." your boyfriend can't actually think or feel; just output a convincing simulation of it based on probability 🙄

I'm ignoring what they say about animals, though. Totally anthropomorphizing them. And my cats agree.
